2.2 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install the system components.
Onboard LED Onboard LED Onboard LED Onboard 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.
