Chapter 1: Overview

1.1 About the Transport GX21 B5102

Congratulations on your purchase of the Transport GX21
B5102 rack mounted, barebone system for Intel®
Pentium® 4 processor. The Transport GX21 B5102 uses an
advanced Intel chipset for optimum performance and reliabil­ity. Integrated storage contoller and Gigabit Ethernet ports
combine to provide powerful computing capacity and optimal
I/O bandwidth for the most demanding enterprises.

The rugged, industry standard 19-inch, rack mountable
design contains 2 HDD bays, 1 slim CD-ROM bay and 1 3.5­inch FDD or additional HDD bay making it both flexible and
practical.

1.2 System Requirements

There are 2 different SKUs of Transport GX21 .

A choice of S-ATA and IDE HDD is possible with the
B5102G21S2 and the modular design makes installation of
new HDDs simple. S-ATA is a new HDD standard that uses
serial data transfer methods, unlike the traditional IDE
devices which rely on parallel data transfer.

Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.1 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.

2.1.1 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 acciden tally damagi ng the inte r nal
components.

2.1.2 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.

2.1 Before You Begin

12 Chapter 2: Setting Up

2.1.3 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 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 circ uit board s by the edge s onl y. 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 ke ye d to only attach one way.

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

2.2 Rack Mounting

Chapter 2: Setting Up 13

2.2 Rack Mounting

The Transport GX21can be mounted in a rack using the sup­plied rack mounting kit.

Standard Mounting Brackets x 4
Mounting Ears x 2
Nuts, Screws and Washers Kit x 1

2.2.1 Installing the Server in a Rack

Follow these instructions to mount the Transport GX21
B5102 into an industry standard 19" rack

Before mounting the Transport GX21 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.

1. Screw the mounting ears to the Transport GX21 as
shown using 4 screws from the supplied nuts, screws
and washers kit.

2.2 Rack Mounting

14 Chapter 2: Setting Up

2. Screw the sliding rail mounting brackets to the sliding
rails as shown, using the short black screws from the
supplied nuts, screws and washers kit. Ensure that the
brackets with the cut away section (to accommodate the
handles on the front of the unit) are fixed to the front end
of the rail.

Note: Do not tighten the brackets to the

rails as you will need to adjust their position
later.

3. Fully extend the sliding rails until they lock.

4. Screw each sliding rail to the side of the Transport GX21
as shown. You will need 3 short, silver colored screws
from the supplied nuts, screws and washers kit, for each
rail.

5. Return the sliding rails to their shortest position.

2.2 Rack Mounting

Chapter 2: Setting Up 15

Note: When fully extended, the sliding rails

will lock. The release mechanism is located
on the sliding rail as shown. Press the
release mechanism while pushing the sliding
rails to shorten them.

6. With the rails in their shortest condition, adjust both front
mounting brackets so that they are flush with the front of
the unit.

7. Accurately measure the depth of your rack and adjust the
rear brackets accordingly.

8. When all brackets are positioned correctly, tighten them.

9. Lift the unit into place in the rack and screw it into place
as shown.

Note: To avoid injury, it is strongly recom-

mended that two people lift the
Transport GX21into place while a third per­son screw it to the rack.
