Onboard LEDs

Diagnosis LEDs

The Diagnosis LEDs provide the status of these key components during POST (Power-

On-Self Test): CPU, memory modules, VGA card, and hard disk drives. If an error is

found, the critical component’s LED stays lit up until the problem is solved.

The Diagnosis LEDs provide the most probable cause of an error code as a starting point

for troubleshooting. The actual cause may vary from case to case.

Standby Power LED (SBPWR1)

The motherboard comes with a standby power LED. The green LED lights up to

indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder

that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or

plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below shows the location of

the onboard LED.
