8 Chapter 1: Overview
2.1 Before you begin
This chapter explains how to install motherboard components
including CPUs, memory modules, and PCI cards. There are
also instructions in this section for installing S-ATA and IDE
hard drives.
Careful attention should be given to the precautions mentioned in this section when setting up your system.
2.1.1 Work area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment.
Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Putting all small components in separate containers prevents
them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.
2.1 Before you begin
Chapter 2: Setting up
2.1.2 Tools
The following tools will be required to complete the installations described in this chapter.
• A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
• A grounding strap and/or anti static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connectors in your system can be disconnected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to remove
connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic
parts of the connectors.
Chapter 2: Setting up 9
2.1 Before you begin
2.1.3 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by static electricity. Working on a system that is connected to
a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the
guidelines below to avoid damage to the Transport GX21 or
injury to yourself.
• Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from the
power supply and then touch a safely grounded
object to release static charge (i.e. power supply
case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare
metal body of any other grounded appliance.
• Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips,
connectors, memory modules, and leads.
• The motherboard is pre-installed in the system.
When removing the motherboard, always place it on
a grounded anti-static surface until you are ready to
reinstall it.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do
not touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packag-
ing that they ship with until they are ready for installation.
• After replacing optional devices, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
• Always use the correct size screws and fixings when
installing or replacing components.
Note: All connectors are designed to fit
one way only, no force should required to
make a connection.

BIOS
Appendix
Introduction
Your Transport GX21 (B5350) system includes a powerful
Tiger i7320R S5350 motherboard with Phoenix BIOS on 8
MBit flash ROM.
The BIOS is the motherboard’s basic input/output system.
The BIOS contains all the settings required to control the keyboard, display, disk drives, serial communications, and a
number of miscellaneous functions. This section of the
appendix describes the various BIOS settings that can be
used to configure your system.
BIOS setup utility
With the BIOS setup utility, you can modify BIOS settings and
control the features of your system. The setup utility uses a
number of menus.
Note: All menus shown in this section are
based on a typical system. The actual menus
displayed on your screen may look different
depending on the hardware and features
installed.
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1. Turn on or reboot your system.
2. Press <Del> during POST (F4 on remote console) to
start the BIOS setup utility.
Appendix 39

BIOS main menu
The Main BIOS menu is the first screen that appears when
you enter BIOS setup. The menu has two main frames. The
left frame displays all the options that can be configured.
"Grayed-out" options cannot be configured, options in blue
can be changed.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option
is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often, a
text message will accompany it.
