| The SGI Fuel was released in 2002 and discontinued in 2006. | | The SGI Fuel was released in 2002 and discontinued in 2006. |
| + | |
| + | The [[Silicon Graphics]] Fuel, introduced in 2002, was intended to be a single-CPU midrange solution |
| + | for those customers who did not need multiple-CPU capability, thus offering a much cheaper system |
| + | compared to a baseline [[SGI Tezro]] or top-spec single-CPU Octane2. There is at least one anecdotal report that the Fuel was still being manufactured as late as 2010, though in theory availability of all MIPS-based products ended in 2007. |
| + | |
| + | Contrary to popular belief, Fuel was not a successor to O2. SGI never made a follow-on to O2; a |
| + | new system was designed (internally known as the Banana2000 or b2k) but was never developed beyond a prototype. |
| + | |
| + | == System Architecture == |
| + | |
| + | Fuel shares the IP35-architecture with [[SGI Origin 300]], [[SGI Origin 350]], [[SGI Origin 3000]], [[SGI Onyx 3000]] and [[SGI Tezro]] systems. |

| + | === Memory Subsystem === |
| + | |
| + | On introduction SGI claimed an industry-leading 3.2 GByte-per-second processor to memory bandwidth, and half that to the graphics subsystem. The DIMMS used are compatible with those used in the [[SGI Origin 3000]], [[SGI Origin 300]], [[SGI Origin 350]], and the [[SGI Tezro]]. There are a total of four slots, organized into two banks of two slots. This results in a memory capacity from 512 MBytes to 4 Gbytes total system memory. |

| + | == Operating System Support == |
| + | |
| + | === IRIX === |
| + | |
| + | [[IRIX]] Versions from [[IRIX 6.5.17|6.5.17]] up to the latest overlay ([[IRIX 6.5.30|6.5.30]] at this time) are supported on this machine. FireWire support became functional around 6.5.27 |
| + | |
| + | == Troubleshooting == |
| + | |
| + | xfs_fsr locks up the system while running against the file system on any firewire drive. This has been a problem for over two years now with no repair in sight. |
| + | |
| + | Temperature sensing on early Fuel mainboards is notoriously prone to failure, rendering the computer inoperable if environment monitoring is left on. Amateur repairs are possible. |
| + | |
| + | === Fuel PSU Issue and Environmental monitoring === |
| + | |
| + | Fuel power supplies are variants of off-the-shelf units offered for consumer PCs. However the pinouts, if not the voltages and functions, differ even though the OEM part numbers do not. There is speculation about substituting one for the other. If you pursue this please be aware that you do so at your own risk, but please share the results with the community if you are successful. |
| + | |
| + | For those who are not sure how to disable environ monitoring, |
| + | try (as root): |
| + | <pre> |
| + | # l1cmd env off |
| + | </pre> |
| + | |
| + | '''TODO:''' write about L1 monitoring of PSU fan speeds and the Fuel just knowing its not a SGI PSU. |
