Safety information

Before installing and using the Transport GX21 , 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 or openings on the unit which are

provided 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 grounded cable, which is sup-

plied 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 type of plug, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

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

cord where it will not be stepped on.

• 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 carried out, 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.

14 Chapter 1: Overview

2.1 Before you begin

This chapter explains how to install motherboard compon ents including CPUs, memory modules, and PCI card. Th er e are also instructions in this section for installing S-A TA, SCSI and IDE hard drives.

Careful attention should be given to the precautions mentioned in this section when setting up 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 cont ainers prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.

2.1 Before you begin

Chapter 2: Setting up

2.1.2 Tools

The following tools will be required to complete the installations described in this chapter.

• A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

• A grounding strap and/or anti static pad

Most of the electrical and mechanical connectors in your system 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

2.1.3 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 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 read y 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 part s are in pl ace and are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.

• Always use the correct size screws and fixings when

installing or replacing components.

Note: All connectors are designed to fit

one way only, no force should required to make a connection.

2.2.3 Installing memory

Follow the instructions in this section to install memory modules in your Transport GX21 (B2735) system.

1. Remove the chassis cover as described n section 2.2.1 Removing the chassis cover.

2. Locate the memory slots on the motherboard.

3. Press the memory slot locking levers in the direction of the arrows as shown below.

Note: It is not possible to move the mem-

ory slot locking levers without first removing the CPU heatsinks.

4. Align the memory module with the slot. The module will fit only one way in the slot. Ensure that indentations in the memory module line up with corresponding notches in the memory slot.
