Chapter 1 Pre-Configuration
This chapter provides all the necessary information for installing the
Raptor AT into a standard PC chassis. Topics discussed include:
installing the CPU (if necessary), DRAM installation, jumper settings
for CPU and standard I/O.
Handling Precautions
The Raptor AT has been designed to be as rugged as possible but it can
be damaged if dropped, jarred sharply or struck. Damage may also
occur by using excessive force in performing certain installation
procedures such as forcing the system board into the chassis or placing
too much torque on a mounting screw.
Take special care when installing or removing the system memory
DIMMs. Never force a DIMM into a socket. Screwdrivers slipping off
a screw and scraping the board can break a trace or component leads,
rendering the board unusable. Always handle the Raptor AT with care.
Static Warning
The Raptor AT contains delicate electronic semiconductors that are
highly sensitive to static electricity. These components, if subjected to a
static electricity discharge, can be weakened thereby reducing the
serviceable life of the system board. BEFORE THE BOARD IS
