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,

Chapter 1  
Product introduction  
Thank you for buying an ASUS® E45M1-I DELUXE motherboard!  
Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in  
your motherboard package. Refer to page x for the list of accessories.  
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.

System memory  
1.4.1  
Overview  
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules  
(DIMM) sockets.  
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is notched  
differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are developed for  
better performance with less power consumption.  
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:

1.4.2  
Memory configurations  
You may install 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the  
DIMM sockets.  
We recommend that you install the memory modules from the blue slots for better  
overclocking capability.  
Due to the memory address limitation on 32-bit Windows® OS, 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 any of the  
following:  
- Use a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows® OS.  
- Install a 64-bit Windows® OS when you want to install 4GB or more on the  
motherboard.  
This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 512Mb (64MB) chips or less.  
The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect  
(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.  
Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a  
lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. To operate at the vendor-marked or at a  
higher frequency, refer to section 2.4 Ai Tweaker menu for manual memory frequency  
adjustment.  
For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full  
memory load (2 DIMMs) or overclocking condition.

Expansion slots  
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe  
the slots and the expansion cards that they support.  
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.  
When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that  
the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI  
groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.  
1.5.3  
PCI Express x16 slot  
This motherboard has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot that supports PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphic  
cards complying with the PCI Express specifications.

Jumpers  
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

3
Normal  
Clear RTC  
(Default)  
E45M1-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.  
You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For  
system failure due to overclocking, use the CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R.) feature. Shut  
down and reboot the system, then the BIOS automatically resets parameter settings to  
default values.

3.0/2.0 devices.  
DO NOT connect a keyboard / mouse to any USB 3.0 port when installing Windows®  
operating system.  
Due to USB 3.0 controller limitation, USB 3.0 devices can only be used under Windows®  
OS environment and after the USB 3.0 driver installation.  
USB 3.0 devices can only be used as data storage only.  
We strongly recommend that you connect USB 3.0 devices to USB 3.0 ports for faster  
and better performance for your USB 3.0 devices.

E45M1-I DELUXE ATX power connectors  
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 350 W.  
DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the system will  
not boot up.  
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,
