Safety information
Before installing and using the Transport GX28, 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 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.

Chapter 2: Setting up
2.1 Before you begin
This chapter explains how to install motherboard components
including CPUs, memory modules, and PCI-X cards. There
are also instructions in this section for installing SATA and
SCSI 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 antistatic 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 GX28 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. the 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 antistatic 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.
Note: All connectors are designed to fit
one way only; excessive force is not required
to make a connection.

ules, and PCI-X cards.
2.2.1 Removing the chassis cover
Follow these instructions to remove the GX28 chassis cover.
This step is required before any other procedures in this
chapter can be undertaken.
1. Remove the four screws as shown.
2. Slide the cover forward (A) and lift it from the chassis (B).
