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.

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-X 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:
Chapter 2: Setting Up
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.
Chapter 2: Setting Up 11
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.
12 Chapter 2: Setting Up
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.
