1-1 Chapter 1: Product introduction Chapter 1 Product introduction If any of the items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer . Thank you for buying an ASUS ® A T4NM10T -I motherboard! Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your motherboard package. Refer to page ix for the list of accessories. 1.1 Before you proceed T ake note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. • Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. • Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity . • Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them. • Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component. • Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the A TX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply . Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components. Onboard LED The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you must shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.

ASUS A T4NM10T-I 1-6 1.5 Expansion slot In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the slot and the expansion cards that it supports. Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. 1.5.1 Installing an expansion card T o install an expansion card: 1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card. 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis). 3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use. 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is completely seated on the slot. 5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier . 6. Replace the system cover . 1.5.2 Conguring an expansion card After installing the expansion card, congure it by adjusting the software settings. 1. T urn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any . See Chapter 2 for information on BIOS setup. 2. Assign an IRQ to the card. 3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card. 1.5.3 PCI Express x4 slots This motherboard supports PCI Express x4 network cards, SCSI cards, and other cards that comply with the PCI Express specications.
1-7 Chapter 1: Product introduction 1.6 Jumpers 1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC) This jumper allows you to clear the Real T ime Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. Y ou can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords. Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure! AT4NM10T-I A T4NM10T -I Clear RTC RAM 1 2 2 3 Normal (Default) Clear RTC CLRTC If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery . T o erase the RTC RAM: 1. T urn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. 2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2. 3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer . 4.

USB device wake-up (3-pin USBPW7-8) Set to 5VSB to wake up from S3 and S4 sleep modes (no power to CPU, DRAM in slow refresh, power supply in reduced power mode). • The USB device wake-up feature requires a power supply that can provide 500mA on the 5VSB lead for each USB port; otherwise, the system would not power up. • The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply capability ( 5VSB) whether under normal condition or in sleep mode. 2. Keyboard/mouse power and USB device wake-up (3-pin PS2_USBPW1-6) This jumper allows you to enable or disable the keyboard/mouse and USB port 1-6 wake-up feature. When you set this jumper to pins 2-3 ( 5VSB), you can wake up the computer by pressing a key on the keyboard, clicking the mouse or using a USB device. This feature requires an A TX power supply that can supply at least 1A on the 5VSB lead, and a corresponding setting in the BIOS. The USBPW1-6 jumper is for the rear USB ports. The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply capability ( 5VSB) whether under normal condition or in sleep mode.
