The motherboard comes with a power-on switch that 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 power-on switch.

When you turn on the ATX power supply, the Power LED flashes three times

to indicate that the system is ready to boot. Wait till the flash stops before you

press the power-on switch.
