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.

14Chapter 1: Overview
2.1Before 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.
Chapter 2: Setting up15
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.

BIOS
Appendix
Introduction
Your Transport GX21 (B2735) system includes a powerful
Tiger i7501R S2735 motherboard with AMI BIOS v8.0 on 4
MB flash ROM.
The BIOS is the motherboard’s basic input/output system.
The BIOS contains all the settings required to control the keyboard, display, disk drives, serial communications, and a
number of miscellaneous functions. This section of the
appendix describes the various BIOS settings that can be
used to configure your system.
BIOS setup utility
With the BIOS setup utility, you can modify BIOS settings and
control the features of your system. The setup utility uses a
number of menus.
Note: All menus shown in this section are
based on a typical system. The actual menus
displayed on your screen may look different
depending on the hardware and features
installed.
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1. Turn on or reboot your system.
2. Press <Del> during POST (F4 on remote console) to
start the BIOS setup utility

The Yes setting allows the operating
system to change the interrupt, I/O,
and DMA settings. Set this option if
the system is running Plug and Play
aware operating systems. Set No for
operating systems that do not meet
the Plug and Play specifications.
This setting controls how many PCI
clocks each PCI device can hold the
bus before another PCI device takes
over. When set to higher values,
every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus
improve the effective PCI bandwidth.
Allows or restricts the system from
giving the VGA adaptor an IRQ.
This is the default setting and should
not be changed unless the VGA card
manufacturer requires Palette Snoop ing to be Enabled.
ENABLED: BIOS uses PCI bus mastering for reading / writing to IDE
drives.
