Product introduction
Thank you for buying an ASUS® AT4NM10T-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.
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.

1.2.1 Motherboard layout
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.
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.

1.4 System memory
1.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Memory Modules (So-DIMM)
sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:

1-3 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.4.2 Memory congurations
You may install 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB non-ECC DDR3 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 use a maximum of 3GB system memory.
• This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.
