2.9 Onboard LEDs
1. Standby Power LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED. The green LED 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 LED.
2. POST State LEDs
POST State LEDs check key components (CPU, DRAM, VGA card, and HDD) in
sequence during motherboard booting process. If an error is found , the LED next to
the error device will continue lighting until the problem is solved. This user-friendly
design provides an intuitional way to locate the root problem within a second.
