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.
