Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a newly designed ASUS Power LED that lights
up in two colors to show the system power status. Blue indicates that the
system is in sleep/soft-off mode and Red indicates that the system is ON.
The ASUS Power LED helps remind you to shut down the system and unplug
the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard 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 to 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.
