Safety information  
Electrical safety  
To prevent electric shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electric outlet  
before relocating the system.  
When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables  
for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,  
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.  
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all  
power cables are unplugged.  
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices  
could interrupt the grounding circuit.  
Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not  
sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power  
company.  
If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service  
technician or your retailer.  
Operation safety  
Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals  
that came with the package.  
Before using the product, ensure that all cables are correctly connected and the power  
cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.  
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,  
slots, sockets and circuitry.  
Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area  
where it may become wet.

Product introduction  
Thank you for buying an ASUS® AT5IONT-I Series 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.  
AT5IONT-I Series motherboards include AT5IONT-I and AT5IONT-I DELUXE two  
models. The package contents vary from models.  
If any of the items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer.  
1.1  
Before you proceed  
Take 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 ATX 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. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

Overview  
This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Small Outline Dual Inline  
Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) sockets. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM  
sockets:

Chapter 1: Product introduction  
 
1.4.2  
Memory configurations  
You may install 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 SO-DIMMs into the DIMM  
sockets.  
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is  
recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.  
Due to the CPU limitation, when you install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard,  
the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effective use of  
memory, we recommend that you do use a maximum of 3GB system memory.  
This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.

Expansion slot  
In the future, you may need to install an expansion card. 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  
To 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.  
3.  
Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).  
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 firmly until the card is completely  
seated on the slot.  
5.  
6.  
Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.  
Replace the system cover.  
1.5.2  
Configuring an expansion card  
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.  
1.  
Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 2 for  
information on BIOS setup.  
2.  
3.  
Assign an IRQ to the card.  
Install the software drivers for the expansion card.  
1.5.3  
PCI Express x4 slot (@ x1 speed, with latch)  
This motherboard supports PCI Express x4 network cards, SCSI cards and other cards that  
comply with the PCI Express specifications.

Jumpers  
1.  
Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)  
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You 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.  
CLRTC  
Normal  
Clear RTC  
AT5IONT-I DELUXE  
(Default)  
AT5IONT-I DELUXE Clear RTC RAM  
To erase the RTC RAM:  
1. Turn 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. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter  
data.  
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default  
position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!  
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.

Keyboard/mouse power and USB device wake-up (3-pin PS2_USBPW1-4)  
This jumper allows you to enable or disable the keyboard/mouse and USB port 1-4  
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 ATX power supply that can supply at least 1A on the  
+5VSB lead, and a corresponding setting in the BIOS. The USBPW1-4 jumper is for  
the rear USB ports.

3.  
USB device wake-up (3-pin USBPW56)  
Set this jumper to +5V to wake up the computer from S1 sleep mode (CPU stopped,  
DRAM refreshed, system running in low power mode) using the connected USB  
devices. 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.

AT5IONT-I ATX power connector  
For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU)  
that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum  
power of 90 W.  
We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a  
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or may  
not boot up if the power is inadequate.  
If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,  
refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support.asus.
