Onboard switches

Onboard switches allow you to fine-tune performance when working on a bare or open-

case system. This is ideal for overclockers and gamers who continually change settings to

enhance system performance.

1.

Power-on switch
The motherboard comes with a power-on switch that allows you to power up or wake

up the system. The switch also lights up when the system is plugged to a power source

indicating 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.

2.

Reset switch
Press the reset switch to reboot the system.
