1-1 Chapter 1: Product introduction

Chapter 1 Product introduction

AT3IONT-I Series motherboards include AT3IONT-I and AT3IONT-I DELUXE two models. The package contents vary from models.

If any of the items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer.

Thank you for buying an ASUS AT3IONT-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.

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.

1.2 Motherboard overview 1.2.1 Motherboard layout

Place four screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis. DO NOT overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

Ensure that you install the motherboard into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis.

Place this side towards the rear of the chassis.

1.4.2 Memory configurations You may install 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for the single-channel operation.

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 use a maximum of 3GB system memory.

This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.

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 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. 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 firmly 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 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. Assign an IRQ to the card. 3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

1.5.3 PCI Express x16 slot This motherboard supports a PCI Express x16 graphics card that complies with the PCI Express specifications.

ASUS AT3IONT-I Series 1-8

1.6 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.

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.

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 key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions before using Serial ATA.

If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode Select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. See 2.3.4 Storage Configuration for details.

The motherboard does not provide a floppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB floppy disk drive when installing Windows XP operating system on a hard disk drive that includes a RAID/AHCI set.

Due to Windows XP limitation, Windows XP may not recognize the USB floppy disk drive.

The motherboard does not support installing Windows XP OS with SATA ODD under RAID/AHCI mode.

You need to copy RAID driver to other media such as a USB flash disk and load RAID driver during installing Windows Vista OS with SATA ODD.

For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RAID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included in the folder named Manual in the support DVD.
