Cray engineers explain the details behind the SV2 supercomputer system.
Later renamed the "X1", available in 2003.
The SV2 project was partially funded by NSA......

I first encountered this vid, back in 2001-2002

I remember downloading this video from Cray's website over dial-up in the early 2000s. I lost it and have spent years looking for it again! I specifically remember the MCM and the mechanism holding it to the boards. I remember the assembly in video 2 and the guide around the chassis. Thank you very much for uploading. Interesting to see Steve Scott looking so young too; recently snapped up by nVidia as CTO of the Tesla GPU business
