 P8H61-I R2.0 motherboard!

Before you start installing the motherboard and adding hardware components, check the 

items in your motherboard package. Refer to page ix 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.

If any of the items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer.

This 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 must 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.
