Hardware Installation

PWR-LED:  Power/Standby LED

When the system’s power is on, this LED will light. When the system

is in the S1 (POS - Power On Suspend) state, it will blink every

second. When the system is in the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM)

state, it will blink every 4 seconds.

Note:

If a system did not boot-up and the Power/Standby LED did

not light after it was powered-on, it may indicate that the CPU

or memory module was not installed properly. Please make

sure they are properly inserted into their corresponding socket.
