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.
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to 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 un-install any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the 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.

Onboard LED

The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON or in sleep 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 system power LED lights up when you turn on the system power, and blinks when the system is in sleep mode.
