The PSU has a 115 V/230 V voltage selector switch located beside the
power connector. Use this switch to select the appropriate system input
voltage according to the voltage supply in your area.
If the voltage supply in your area is 100-127 V, set the switch to 115 V.
If the voltage supply in your area is 200-240 V, set the switch to 230 V.
Setting the switch to 115V in a 230V environment or 230V in a 115V
environment will seriously damage the system!

The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This LED
lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off
mode, and not powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet
and make sure that the standby power LED is OFF before installing any
system component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or 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.
2.2 Before you proceed
