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. The green LED lights up to indicate

that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you should

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.
