To connect my 1600SW to my O2, I need this little very rare Open LDI adapter with SGI P/N 030-1170-001.

Thanks in advance

I've also been on the lookout for one of these. Ian's doesn't have any. I do have one, but it seems to have failed. It still shows up in hinv, but no output on the 1600SW. The 1600SW still works fine with the multilink adapter

I got mine in the meantime.
Sometimes, it can happen that you just need to replug the adapter in the connector on the system board to make it work again.

And there may be some left to get at https://xsnet.com/contact/
When I got mine from KayBee, I asked them too and they had around ten of them or so at the moment…
Just try your luck there!

As Jan says, check fit on the mainboard connecter. It needs to click in, the fit can vary between chassis and can be a bit stiff.
I have one as well as a 1600sw, unless you really want the full O2 setup with 1600sw I still feel a 1280x1024 panel from mid ‘00’s will display a better image :)

I've reseated it many times and tried it in three O2s, I think it's dead unfortunately! I'll check and see if they have any. Thanks!
