SGI Challenge Systems

Challenge servers come in 4 varieties, S, D, L, and XL from smallest to largest. The features vary greatly, so each system is described separately.

For upgrades and spares, see our Challenge Parts page.

Challenge Servers come with a fresh installation of IRIX6.2 or IRIX6.5.17m. Media is not included unless otherwise noted. The latest Freeware can be loaded on request.

Challenge Servers come with a 90day(from receipt) warranty that covers the hardware against failure. 12 month warranty is available for an additional 10%
