Raptor 4000 Series: Reference Manual
©2009 Tech Source Inc. 2 Part #65-0271-01
The Raptor 4000 Series drivers for Linux are provided on a CD-
ROM which consists of:
• Tech Source Raptor device drivers for Linux
• Loadable DDX modules for Tech Source Raptor cards.
• MOX extension files
• TSIMISC extension files
All systems vary somewhat, therefore some knowledge of the
features of your system and a basic understanding of UNIX shell
commands are helpful during the software installation process.
A hardware specification for each of these cards is listed in
Appendix A. From this point forward, Tech Source, Inc. will be
referred to as Tech Source or TSI.
This manual will follow certain conventions throughout.
Whenever a variable name, command name, directory, or
filename is used in a paragraph, it will appear in a mono-
spaced font.
At times the reader will be instructed to enter commands at a
prompt. In this case a transcript of a sample session will be
provided where a prompt will be followed by the commands the
reader is to enter. The entire transcript will be in a
mono-
spaced
font with the prompt in a normal weight and the user's
entries in bold.
The prompt used in a transcript varies depending on the
circumstances. The following are some common prompts and
when they are used:
prompt#
used when the user is required to have root
privileges
prompt%
used when the user is not required to have root
privileges
NOTE: In order to use the Tech Source Raptor DDX module,
you must have XFree86 (v4.0 or later) previously installed.
