Chapter 1: Pre-Configuration 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.
Raptor AT – Installation Guide TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS! Work on a conductive surface that is connected to the ground. Before touching any electronic device, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal object or, and highly recommended, use a grounding strap.
Chapter 1: Pre-Configuration Step 1 Setting the Jumpers Your Raptor AT is equipped with a large number of peripherals and has the ability to run at a variety of speeds without the need to change any crystals or oscillators. As such, there are a large number of configuration jumpers on the board. Taken step by step, setting these jumpers is easy. We suggest you review each section and follow the instructions. Jumper Types Jumpers are small copper pins attached to the system board.
Raptor AT – Installation Guide Jumper Locations Use the diagram below and the tables on the following pages to locate and set the on-board configuration jumpers.
Chapter 1: Pre-Configuration CMOS Reset This option is provided as a convenience for those who need to reset the CMOS registers. It should always be set to "Normal" for standard operation. If the CMOS needs to be reset, turn off the system, move JP5 to 2-3, turn the system on, move jumper to 1-2 and press reset. Table 1-1 CMOS Reset Reset CMOS JP5 Normal 1-2* Clear CMOS 2-3 * Manufacturer's Settings. Disk-on-Chip Selection The jumper JP7 allows selection for the addresses on Disk-on-Chip devices.
Raptor AT – Installation Guide Clock Speed Selection The Raptor AT has a CPU automatic speed selector device. The jumper JP11 allows selection for this option.

Table 1-8 Ethernet Selection Ethernet Selection JP12 Enabled Disabled 1-2* 2-3 * Manufacturer's Settings.
Raptor AT – Installation Guide Step 2 DRAM, CPU, Disk-on-Chip and Cables Installation Depending upon how your Raptor AT is configured you may need to install the following: • • • DRAM (DIMMs) CPU Disk-on-chip Raptor AT Memory Configuration The Raptor AT offers 3 DIMM memory sockets (Locations J28, J27 and J26 – Figure 1-2). They can be configured with 3.3V unbuffered SDRAM modules. It is very important that the quality of the DIMMs is good.
Chapter 1: Pre-Configuration Locate the CPU socket on your Raptor AT system board (PGA Socket – Location U21 – Figure 1-2). To install the processor, lift the lever of the ZIF socket and gently insert the CPU. The CPU will fit only in the right alignment. Make sure the CPU is inserted all the way. Lower the lever. Install the CPU fan. Make sure it is locked and connected to J3 (see pin-out in Appendix A).
Raptor AT – Installation Guide Airflow management It is important to manage the velocity, quantity and direction of air that flows within the system (and how it flows) to maximize the volume of air that flows over the processor. Thermal interface management To optimize the heatsink design for the Celeron/Pentium III processor, it is important to understand the impact of factors related to the interface between the processor and the heatsink base.
Chapter 1: Pre-Configuration the information supplied with your drive for more information on this subject. Connect the floppy cable (not included) to the system board. Then connect remaining ends of the ribbon cable to the appropriate peripherals. Connect the Ethernet cable (included). Connect the mouse (included) and the parallel/2 serial cable (included). Finally, connect the IDE cable (not included) to the system. Then connect remaining ends of the ribbon cable to the appropriate peripherals.

Appendix E: Ethernet Appendix E On-Board Ethernet The Raptor AT features a built-in 10/100 Ethernet controller (82559ER). The 89559ER is a 32-bit PCI controller that features enhanced scattergather bus mastering capabilities which enable the 82559ER to perform high-speed data transfers over the PCI bus. The 82559ER bus master capabilities enable the component to process high-level commands and to perform multiple operations, thereby off-loading communication tasks from the system CPU.
