Then follow these steps designed to guide you through a quick and correct installation of your system. 3.1 Step-by-Step Installation Accessories Of FN95 10/100/1000LAN & Coaxial/Line-In Connectors 1.1/2.0 USB 2.0 Connectors...
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.
Step 2 Set Jumper 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.
Step 4 Install Internal Peripherals in System Case Before you install and connect 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.
Step 5 Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis 1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose correct mounting holes, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
Step 6 Connect Front Panel Header You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originatinting from the computer's front-panel devices (HDD LED, Power LED,or Reset Switch devices etc.) These cables serve to connect the front-panel switches and LEDs connectors to the mainboard's front-panel con- nectors group, as shown below.
Step 7 Connect IDE, Floppy and Serial ATA Drives 1. IDE cable connectors IDE1 IDE2 2. Floppy cable connector 3. Serial ATA connectors ATA2 ATA1 - 17 -...

When this LED is Lit, there is no way you can turn AGP Proof on the system power even if you press...
Step 11 Connect External Peripherals to Back-Panel You are now ready to put the computer case back together and get on to the external peripherals connections to your system's back-panel. 1. COM Port 2. SPDIF out Connector 3. 1394 Port 4.
Step 12 First Time System Boot Up To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your system for the first time. 1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2000/ME/XP/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs. 1. Insert the FN95 bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The autorun program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.
3.2 Jumper Settings Several hardware settings are made through the use of mini jumpers to connect jumper pins on the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of each jumper, you just find the location with a white right angle which stands for pin 1#.
Jumpers & Connectors Guide Use the mainboard layout on page 11 to locate CPU socket, memory banks, expansion slots, jumpers and connectors on the mainboard during the instal- lation. The following list will help you to identify jumpers, slots, and connec- tors along with their assigned functions: B10~B12 B8~B9...
