D-Bracket™
D-Bracket™ is an external USB bracket integrating four Diagnostic LEDs,
which use graphic signal display to help users understand their system. The
LEDs provide up to 16 combinations of signals to debug the system. The 4
LEDs can debug all problems that fail the system, such as VGA, RAM or other
failures. This special feature is very useful for the overclocking users. These
users can use the feature to detect if there are any problems or failures.
