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.

3.1.1 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 keeps them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.
3.1.2 Tools
The procedures that follow require only a few tools, including the following:
Components
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 3: Replacing Pre-Installed Components 31
3.1.3 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 GT20 or injury to yourself.
Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from your computer 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.

Technical Support
If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your dealer for direct support. Your system has most likely been configured or designed by them and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. Hence, they should be of the most assistance for you. Furthermore, if you purchased your system from a dealer near you, take the system to them directly to have it serviced instead of attempting to do so yourself (which can have expensive consequences).
If these options are not available for you then Tyan Computer Corporation can help.Besides designing innovative and qual­ity products for over a decade, Tyan has continuously offered customers service beyond their expectations. Tyan's website (www.tyan.com) provides easy-to-access resources such as in-depth Linux Online Support sections with downloadable Linux drivers and comprehensive compatibility reports for chassis, memory and much more.
