1.4 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal

object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid

damaging them due to static electricity.

3. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic

pad or in the bag that came with the component.

5. 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.

Onboard LED

The motherboard comes with a stand-by power LED. When lit, this green LED

indicates that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode, 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.
