Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Raptor MicroATX industrial
embedded motherboard. The Raptor MicroATX design was based on
the Intel 815E chipset providing the ideal platform to industrial
applications. The Raptor MicroATX design is based on the Intel
Celeron (FC-PGA) and Pentium III (FC-PGA and FC-PGA2)
processors.
With proper installation and maintenance, your Raptor MicroATX will
provide years of high performance and trouble free operation.
This manual provides a detailed explanation into the installation and
use of the Raptor MicroATX industrial embedded motherboard. This
manual is written for the novice PC user/installer. However, as with
any major computer component installation, previous experience is
helpful and should you not have prior experience, it would be prudent
to have someone assist you in the installation. This manual is broken
down into 3 chapters and 4 appendixes.
Chapter 1 - System Board Pre-Configuration
This chapter provides all the necessary information for
installing the Raptor MicroATX. Topics discussed include:
installing the CPU (if necessary), DRAM installation and
jumper settings. Connecting all the cables from the system
board to the chassis and peripherals is also explained.
Chapter 2 - BIOS Configuration
This chapter shows the final step in getting your system
firmware setup.
Chapter 3 - Upgrading
The Raptor MicroATX provides a number of expansion
options including memory. All aspects of the upgrade
possibilities are covered.

Appendix A - Technical Specifications
A complete listing of all the major technical specifications of
the Raptor MicroATX is provided.
Appendix B - Flash BIOS Programming (optional) and Codes
Provides all information necessary to program your optional
General Software Embedded 2000 Flash BIOS. POST Codes
and beep codes are described in details.
Appendix C - Communication Devices
Two on-board 10/100 Ethernet controllers and four serial ports
(Two RS232 + Two RS232 or RS422/485(optional)).
Appendix D - On-Board Video Controller (LCD Optional)
On-board CRT video controller/LCD (optional).
Static Electricity Warning!
The Raptor MicroATX has been designed as rugged as possible but can
still be damaged if jarred sharply or struck. Handle the motherboard
with care.
The Raptor MicroATX also contains delicate electronic circuits that
can be damaged or weakened by static electricity. Before removing the
Raptor MicroATX from its protective packaging, it is strongly
recommended that you use a grounding wrist strap. The grounding
strap will safely discharge any static electricity build up in your body
and will avoid damaging the motherboard. Do not walk across a carpet
or linoleum floor with the bare board in hand.
