Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a green standby power LED. This LED
lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-
off mode, and not powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the
power outlet and make sure that the standby power LED is OFF before
installing any system component.
•
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or
a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components 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, and/or components.
