This page has been developed in an effort to assist new SGI users on campus by explaining some common processes they must go through in order to configure their Silicon Graphics workstation. We have tried to include answers to all questions that have been asked of us in the past and we will continue to update these pages as questions are asked of us in the future. If you find that you have a question that has not been answered within these pages, please contact ecss_support@eng.iastate.edu.

How do I ...

• prepare for and recover from a system drive failure?
• upgrade my operating system?
• install/upgrade new SGI software?
