SAFETY INFORMATION
Before installing and using the Transport GT24, 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 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.
