Safety information

Before installing and using the Transport GX21 , take note of the fol­lowing precautions:

• Read all instructions carefully.

• Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart or stand.

• Do not block the slots or openings on the unit which are

provided for ventilation.

• Only use the power source indicated on the marking label.

If you are not sure, contact the power company.

• The unit uses a three-wire grounded cable, which is sup-

plied with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent electric
shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet
does not support this type of plug, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet.

• Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power

cord where it will not be stepped on.

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the

unit case.

• Do not push objects in the ventilation slots as they may

touch high voltage components and result in shock and
damage to the components.

• When replacing parts, ensure that you use parts specified

by the manufacturer.

• When service or repairs have been carried out, perform

routine safety checks to verify that the system is operating
correctly.

• Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or

near a heating device.

• Cover the unit when not in use.

Chapter 2: Setting up

2.1 Before you begin

This chapter explains how to install mother board components
including CPUs, memory modules, an d PCI card . Ther e are
also instructions in this section for installing S-AT A, SCSI 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 separ ate cont ainers prevent s
them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.

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.

2.1 Before you begin

16 Chapter 2: Setting up

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 grou nded
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 yo u ar e re ad y 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 par ts ar e 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.

Note: The Transport GX21 (B2735) uses

two different types of cooling fans which
operate at different speeds. The two fans
installed nearest the power supply have a
peak speed of 15,000 rpm. The remaining 3
fans have a peak speed of 11,500 rpm. The
two fans nearest the power supply should be
connected to the speed-controllable pin
headers (CPU1_FAN and CPU2_FAN) on
the mother board. See 3. 8.1 Cooling fan con-
nections.

Appendix

BIOS

Introduction

Your Transport GX21 (B2735) system includes a powerful
Tiger i7501R S27 35 motherboard with AMI BIOS v8.0 on 4
MB 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
