Safety Information

Before installing and using the Transport TX46, take note of the fol-

lowing 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

Chapter 2: Setting up

2.1 Before you begin

This chapter explains how to install motherboard components

including CPUs, memory modules, and PCI cards. There are

also instructions in this section for installing SATA, SCSI, and

IDE hard drives.

Careful attention should be given to the precautions men-

tioned 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 malfunc-

tions. 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.

2.1.2 Tools

The following tools will be required to complete the installa-

tions 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 sys-

tem can be disconnected using your fingers. It is recom-

mended 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

12 Chapter 2: Setting up

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 TX46 or

injury to yourself.

• Disassembly of this system should only be attempted

by experienced engineers.

• 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. Alter-

natively, 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 installa-

tion.

• 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.

• Always use the correct size screws and fixings when

installing or replacing components.
