Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Raptor AT industrial embedded
motherboard. The Raptor AT design was based on the Intel 440BX
chipset providing the ideal platform to industrial applications. The
Raptor AT design is based on the Intel Celeron and PIII processor.
With proper installation and maintenance, your Raptor AT will provide
years of high performance and trouble free operation.
This manual provides a detailed explanation into the installation and
use of the Raptor AT 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 5 appendixes.
Chapter 1 - System Board Pre-Configuration
This chapter provides all the necessary information for
installing the Raptor AT. Topics discussed include: installing
the CPU (if necessary), DRAM installation, jumper settings
for CPU and standard I/O. Connecting all the cables from the
system board to the chassis and peripherals.
Chapter 2 - BIOS Configuration
This chapter shows the final step in getting your system
firmware setup.
Chapter 3 - Upgrading
The Raptor AT 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 AT is provided.
Appendix B - Flash BIOS Programming (optional)
Provides all the information necessary to program your
optional AMIBIOS Flash BIOS.
Appendix C - Disk-on-Chip
Two on-board sockets for a solid state flash disk device.
Appendix D - Industrial Devices
Watchdog Timer and On-Board POST (Power On Self
Testing) code display.
Appendix E - Ethernet
On-board 10/100 Ethernet.
Static Electricity Warning!
The Raptor AT has been designed as rugged as possible but can still be
damaged if jarred sharply or struck. Handle the motherboard with care.
The Raptor AT also contains delicate electronic circuits that can be
damaged or weakened by static electricity. Before removing the Raptor
AT 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.
