.SH NOTES
|
|
Resetting a machine is accomplished in a variety of ways, depending on the
|
|
system type, console connections, and optional reset connections.
|
|
|
|
For Challenge L, XL, and Origin 2000 systems, resetting is done through
|
|
the
|
|
.I System Controller.
|
|
This requires a seperate tty connection to the system controller port.
|
|
|
|
For systems without a system controller -- Iris 4D series, the Indigo
|
|
and Indigo2 families, and Indy, Challenge S, O2 systems -- resetting
|
|
can be accomplished by controlling the reset lines. This is usually
|
|
accomplished by X10 relay boxes, or a relay board that fits into a
|
|
VME slot in an SGI system. More details can be found in the SGI FAQ,
|
|
specifically
