NOTE: When a device is plugged into the Microphone/Headphone Connector, a dialog box will pop up asking if you want to use the connector for a microphone Line-In device or a headphone. You can reconfigure the connector at any time by double-clicking the Realtek HD Audio Manager icon in the Windows taskbar.

NOTE: The Power On Light is normally green when the power is on. If it is flashing red, there is a problem with the computer and it is displaying a diagnostic code. Refer to Interpreting POST Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes on page 301 to interpret the code.
