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.

• 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.
