Take note of the following precautions before you install the system components.

Onboard LEDOnboard LED

Onboard LED

The system 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 AC adapter cable before removing or plugging in any system

component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

•Unplug the AC adapter cable 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, ensureBefore you install or remove any component, ensure
