ASUS A8V-VM

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.
