I've never seen or heard of such an option on an Indigo2.  I suppose
that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, but it's probably quite rare.

Well, hinv will tell you.  But, to determine it from the board itself,
you need to go by the ASSY #:

  030-8102-xxx is IP22
  030-0659-xxx is IP26
  030-0978-xxx is IP28

Well, if they have R4k CPUs or R8k CPUs in them, they're not
R10000-capable.  It's easy to tell an IP28, though.  The heatsink on
an R10000 is unmistakable.
