Chapter 1 Pre-Configuration
This chapter provides all the necessary information for installing the
Raptor MicroATX into a standard PC chassis. Topics discussed
include: installing the CPU (if necessary), DRAM installation and
jumper settings.
Handling Precautions
The Raptor MicroATX 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 MicroATX
with care.
Static Warning
The Raptor MicroATX 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
