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.

Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded

antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.

Onboard 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.
