The '''Individual Rack Unit''' or [[IRU]] was introduced with the Altix 4000 family, but continues to appear in subsequent SGI products.
As originally introduced it essentially allows a blade center approach to housing system components, using the [[NUMAlink]] interconnect between them. The IRU is 5U for the [[Altix 450]] and 10U for the [[Altix 4700]] and supports 5 or 10 blades, of which 1 or 2 are double-width slots, respectively. For more information about configuring IRUs, see the [[Altix 450]] or [[Altix 4700]] product pages.
