WARNING Thermal issue is highly essential for processors with a speed of 600MHz and above. Hence, we recommend you to use the CPU fan qualified by AMD or motherboard manufacturer. Meanwhile, please make sure CPU and fan are securely fastened well. Otherwise, improper fan installation not only gets system unstable but also could damage both CPU and motherboard because insufficient thermal dissipation.
NOTICE If you’ve changed your CPU or overclocked your system, the system may fail to boot up, even with a Clear CMOS jumper physically resetted. The reason is that NVIDIA’s new nForce2 chipset introduces a way to reset a Clear CMOS jumper without removing a chassis. Please follow the steps listed below: 1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cable. Reconnect it after 30 seconds; 2. Press and then press your computer’s start button.

3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Before removing/installing any of these devices: CPU, DIMMs, Add-On Cards, and Cables, please unplug the onboard power connector. This section outlines how to install and configure your mainboard. Referring to the following mainboard layout helps you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots, and ports. 3.1 Step-by-Step Installation (Accessories Of FN41V3) IEEE 1394a/ TV-out Port Connectors USB & LAN Port Connectors 1 LAN1 REALTEK RTL8201BL RTL8801 FAN3 1 1 FDC KTS25.
Step 1 Install the CPU: 1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right sector of your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the DIMM memory slots). 2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position. 3. Place your AMD AthlonXP/Athlon/Duron processor in the socket A.
Step 2. Set Jumpers This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as any of the following cases: 1. Clear CMOS For first-time DIY system builders, we recommend that you do not change the default jumper settings if you are not totally familiar with the mainboard configuration procedures.
Step 4 Install Internal Peripherals in System Case Before you place the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer housing, including, but not limited to, the hard disk drive (IDE/HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit. To install IDE & FDD drives, follow these procedures: 1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Step 5 Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis 1. You may find there are a lot of mounting holes on your computer chassis and mainboard. To match the holes on both properly, the key point is to make the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below. 2. Position the studs between the chassis and the mainboard. The studs are used to fix the mainboard and to keep a certain distance between them, for avoiding any electrical shorts in-between.
Step 6 Connect Front-Panel LEDs/Switches/USBs You can find there are several cables existing in the system case and originating from the front-panel devices (HDD LED, Green LED, Reset switch, and USB devices etc.). These cables serve to connect the front-panel LEDs, switches, and USB connectors to JP10 and JP11/JP14, as shown below. JP14 1 1 USB JP11 HLED 9 RST PWON GLED/PWRLED 15 1 JP10 5 1. HDD LED (HLED) 2.

Step 12 System Boot Up For the First-Time To ensure your system completedly and correctly installed, please refer to the above installation steps once again before first booting up your system. 1. Insert a system-bootable floppy disk (DOS 6.2X, Windows 9X/NT, or others), which contains the FDISK and FORMAT utilities. 2. Turn on the system power. 3. First, you need to use the FDISK utility to create a primary partition of the hard disk.
Step 13 Install Drivers & Software Components Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/ 2000/ME/NT/XP operating systems. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the installation programs on CD-ROM. 1. Insert the FN41V3 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The autorun program will display the main installation window on screen. 2. Choose "Install Mainboard FN41V3 Series Driver" 3. Choose "Install nVIDIA Chipset driver" and complete it. 3.
3.2 Jumper Settings Several hardware settings are made through the use of mini jumpers to connect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1could be located at any corner of jumpers, and the corner with a white right angle stands for Pin #1. There are several types of Pin #1 as shown below: 3-pin and multi-pin (>3) jumpers shown as follows: Pin #1 to the left: Pin #1 on the top: Pin #1 to the right: Pin #1 on the bottom: Jumpers with two pins capped are shown as for Close [On] or for Open [Off].
