3.4Motherboard Settings

This section tells you how to change motherboard function settings through the switches and/or jumpers.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To avoid damaging them due to static electricity, follow these precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1.Unplug the computer when working on the internal components.

2.Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling computer components.

3.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips on them.

4.Whenever you uninstall any component, place the components on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the components.

5.Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1)Onboard System Indicators (LED - Light Emitting Diodes)

The GREEN onboard LED indicates that the system power is okay. This light also lights when the PC is in suspend or soft-off mode. The RED onboard LED lights up only if the wrong type of AGP card is connected to the board: (See AGP Pro, p. 32)
