SGI: Video

Does anyone know what the difference is between the cables below? I can only find the top one so far. Can I just use two of 018-0946-001?

See thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16720804

Part numbers:
018-0946-001 CABLE ASSY LVDS 26P M 5M FE $116
018-0985-001 CABLE ASSY LVDS 26P M 5M WHT/WHT FE $237

OK, was able only to get 2 of the black cables: 018-0946-001. Now how do I test this thing? My Octane sees the DM3 card and the VBOB (p/n: 013-2746-004 rev D) has a yellowish light on the fron SGI logo. I don't see any green LEDs on the rear. Are there any test commands in IRIX?

Thanks!

Well I did find some commands, vbob_config, vbob_flash etc. I ran a vbob_config and it seemed to work, I guess, at least it did not error out saying it could not see it.

The only concerning thing is the color of the light on the SGI logo, its a yellowish color. I though I remembered seeing pictures of one in google image search with a white colored light...

Anyone on here know what the color should or should not be? Could not seem to find anything on the web or in the docs on this...

I wouldn't worry about it. Phosphors can change a bit, so it might have gone yellow.
