The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This LED lights
up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off mode, and not
powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet and make sure that
the standby power LED is OFF before installing any system component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or 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.
