Photo  My first SGI machine, identify the hardware (Octane)
Hey everybody!

My first SGI machine is finally home. I recovered it from an old warehouse, were it sat for more than 10 years.
It's a green Octane "restyling". As you can see in the photos the computer is not in really good cosmetic shape. Missing front cover, glue residue and A LOT of dust.

This was a former GE machine, so the HDD was removed for obvious privacy reasons. However I have the original GE IRIX CDs, I just have to find a drive bay and a SCSI drive...
However, according to the sticker it's been manufactured in February 2000.

Now, as I already said I'm not an SGI expert, so I'm having troubles identifying some components. I know there is the PCI upgrades modules with fiber card and an external SCSI card, and I know that the Graphics board it's a VPro, but didn't understand which VPro this is. Also I can't identify the CPU or the quantity of RAM installed.
