Onboard LEDs

1. 

Standby Power LED (SBPWR1)

The motherboard comes with a standby power LED. The green LED lights up to 

indicate that the system is ON, in S5 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.

2. 

CATT ERR LED (CATTERR1)

The CATT ERR LED indicates that the system has experienced a fatal or catastrophic 

error and cannot continue to operate.
