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.

Onboard switches  
Onboard switches allow you to fine-tune performance when working on a bare or open-case  
system. This is ideal for overclockers and gamers who continually change settings to  
enhance system performance.  
1.  
Turbo Key II switch  
This switch allows you to auto-tune your CPU to enhance the system performance.  
To ensure system performance, turn the switch setting to Enable when the system is  
powered off.  
E45M1-I DELUXE Turbo Key II switch  
The O2LED2 LED near the Turbo Key II switch lights when the switch setting is turned  
to Enable. Refer to section 1.9 Onboard LEDs for the exact location of the O2LED2  
LED.  
If you clear the CMOS or load the BIOS setup defaults, the related overclocking items in  
the BIOS menu follow the current setting of the Turbo Key II switch.  
If you change the switch setting to Enable under the OS environment, the Turbo Key II  
function will be activated after the next system bootup.  
You may use the TurboV Auto Tuning, overclock in the BIOS setup program, and enable  
the Turbo Key II function at the same time. However, the system will use the last setting  
you have made.

2.  
MemOK! switch  
Installing DIMMs that are incompatible with the motherboard may cause system  
boot failure, and the DRAM_LED near the MemOK! switch lights continuously. Press  
and hold the MemOK! switch until the DRAM_LED starts blinking to begin automatic  
memory compatibility tuning for successful boot.  
E45M1-I DELUXE MemOK! switch  
Refer to section 1.9 Onboard LEDs for the exact location of the DRAM_LED.  
The DRAM_LED also lights when the DIMM is not properly installed. Turn off the system  
and reinstall the DIMM before using the MemOK! function.  
The MemOK! switch does not function under Windows® OS environment.  
During the tuning process, the system loads and tests failsafe memory settings. It takes  
about 30 seconds for the system to test one set of failsafe settings. If the test fails,  
the system reboots and test the next set of failsafe settings. The blinking speed of the  
DRAM_LED increases, indicating different test processes.  
Due to memory tuning requirement, the system automatically reboots when each timing  
set is tested. If the installed DIMMs still fail to boot after the whole tuning process, the  
DRAM_LED lights continuously. Replace the DIMMs with ones recommended in the  
Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists) in this user manual or on the ASUS website at  
If you turn off the computer and replace DIMMs during the tuning process, the system  
continues memory tuning after turning on the computer. To stop memory tuning, turn off  
the computer and unplug the power cord for about 5~10 seconds.  
If your system fail to boot due to BIOS overclocking, press the MemOK! switch to boot  
and load BIOS default settings. A message will appear during POST reminding you that  
the BIOS has been restored to its default settings.  
We recommend that you download and update to the latest BIOS version from the
