This manual provides you with instructions on installing your
Transport GT20. This manual is intended for experienced users and
integrators with hardware knowledge of personal computers.

This manual consists of the following parts

Chapter 1: Provides an Introduction to the Transport GT20

B2865 bare-bones, packing list, describes the
external components, gives a table of key compo­nents, and provides block diagrams of the system.

Chapter 2: Covers procedures on installing the CPU, mem-

ory modules, an optional PCI-Express card, and
hard drives.

Chapter 3: Covers removal and replacement procedures for

pre-installed components

Appendix: Provides information on installing SMDC cards

and describes the differences between mainboard
BIOS and system BIOS. The cable connection
tables are also provided for reference of system
setup.

For information on the mainboard, please refer to the attached main­board user’s manual. You can find the detailed description about

SAFETY INFORMATION

Before installing and using the Transport GT20, 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 and opening on the unit, which are pro-

vided 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 ground cable, which is equipped

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 kind of plug, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet.

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

cord where it will not be in the way of foot traffic.

– 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 done, 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

2.0.1 Before You Begin

This chapter explains how to install the CPU, CPU heatsink,
memory modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting a
PCI card are also given.

Take note of the precautions mentioned in this section when
installing your system.

2.0.2 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.

2.0.3 Tools

The following procedures require only a few tools, including
the following:

• A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

• A grounding strap or an anti-static pad

Most of the electrical and mechanical connections 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.

14 Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.0.4 Precautions

Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by discharges of 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 GT20 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.

Notes:

• All connectors are keyed to only attach one way.

• Always use the correct screw size as indicated in the
procedures.

2.1 Rack Mounting

After installing the necessary components, the
Transport GT20 can be mounted in a rack using the supplied
rack mounting kit.

2.1.1 Installing the Server in a Rack

Follow these instructions to mount the GT20 into an industry
standard 19" rack.

NOTE: Before mounting the Transport GT20 in a rack, ensure
that all internal components have been installed and that the
unit has been fully tested. Maintenance can be performed on
the unit while in a rack but it is preferable to install the device
in a fully operational condition.

Installing the Inner Rails to Chassis

1. Screw the mounting ear to each side of GT20 as shown
using 2 screws from the supplied screws kit.

2. Draw out the inner rails from rail assembly. Install inner
rails to left and right sides of chassis using 2 M4-5L(D)
screws for each side.

Installing Outer Rails to the Rack

3. Measure the distance between inner side of the front and
rear mounting brackets in the rack.
