2.1 Before you begin

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 S-ATA 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 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 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 up 9

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 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 packaging that they ship with until they are ready for installation.

• 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, no force should required to make a connection.

Installing motherboard components

This section describes how to install CPUs, memory modules and PCI card.

2.2.1 Removing the chassis cover

Follow these instructions to remove the Transport GX21

(B5350) chassis cover. This step is required before any other procedures in this chapter can be undertaken.

1. Remove the four screws that secure the chassis cover.

2. Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow (A) and then lift the cover off (B).

A B



2.2.2 Installing CPUs

This section describes how to install Intel® Xeon processors and heatsinks in your Transport GX21 (B5350) system. This section applies to all models.

1. Remove the chassis cover as described in section 2.2.1

Removing the chassis cover.

2. Locate the CPU sockets on the motherboard as shown below.

3. Turn the motherboard upside down to install the heat sink

springs, in the order shown. See 3.2.2 Replacing the

motherboard for instructions on how to remove the moth-

erboard.

Chapter 2: Setting up


4. Lift the CPU locking lever as shown below.

5. Place the CPU in the CPU socket, ensuring that pin 1 is located as shown in the following illustration.

pin 1

6. Press the CPU locking lever back down to secure the

CPU in the socket.

7. Repeat steps three to six for the second CPU.

8. Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPUs and place the CPU heatsinks on the CPUs.



9. Tighten the four screws to secure the heatsinks in place as shown below.

Note:

CPU heatsinks must be removed to install or remove memory modules.



2.2.3 Installing memory

Follow the instructions in this section to install memory modules in your Transport GX21 (B5350) system.



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 memory 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.



5. Insert the memory module into the slot as shown.

6. Ensure that the locking levers are firmly in place and that the memory module is properly seated in the slot.

2.2.4 Installing a PCI card

Follow the instructions in this section to install a PCI card in your Transport GX21 (B5350) system.



2. Remove the PCI retention bar.



3. Remove the screw securing the PCI faceplate to the chassis.

4. Slide the PCI card clamp out as shown.

5. Slide the dust cover out.



6. Press the PCI card into place in the slot on the riser card.

Ensure that the card is seated properly in the slot on the riser card and that the riser card is properly seated in its slot on the motherboard.

Insert PCI card tip in slot here

4. Place a S-ATA drive in the drive bay.

Note:

If you are replacing an existing HDD, you will need to remove the four screws that secure it in the drive bay and remove it.

5. Insert four screws to secure the new unit in the drive bay.



6. Reinsert the drive bay into the chassis. Ensure that the rear connector of the new drive is firmly seated in the backplane.


2.4 Rack mounting

2.4

2. Screw the sliding rail mounting brackets to the sliding rails as shown, using the short black screws from the supplied nuts, screws and washers kit.

Note:

Ensure that the brackets with the cut away section (to accommodate the handles on the front of the unit) are fixed to the front end of the rail.

3. Fully extend the sliding rails until they lock.



Note:

Do not tighten the brackets to the rails as you will need to adjust their position later.

4. Screw each sliding rail to the side of the Transport GX21 as shown. You will need 3 short, silver colored screws from the supplied nuts, screws and washers kit, for each rail.

5. Return the sliding rails to their shortest position.

Note:

When fully extended, the sliding rails will lock. The release mechanism is located on the sliding rail as shown. Press the release mechanism while pushing the sliding rails to shorten them.



6. With the rails in their shortest position, adjust both front mounting brackets so that they are flush with the front of the unit.

7. Accurately measure the depth of your rack and adjust the rear brackets accordingly.

8. When all brackets are positioned correctly, tighten them.

9. Lift the unit into place in the rack and screw it into place as shown.

Note:

To avoid injury, it is strongly recommended that two people lift the

Transport GX21 into place while a third person screw it to the rack.

The other 4 fans have a peak speed of 15,500 rpm. The fan nearest the power supply should be connected to the speed-controllable pin header (CPU1_FAN) on the mother board.


Appendix

BIOS

Introduction

Your Transport GX21 (B5350) system includes a powerful

Tiger i7320R S5350 motherboard with Phoenix BIOS on 8

MBit 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.

Appendix 39
