Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in 

your motherboard package. Refer to page x for the list of accessories. 

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change 

any motherboard settings.

•  Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
•  Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded 

object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, 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, or components.

The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that 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.
