CPU/VGA/DRAM/BOOT (Status LEDs)
The status LEDs show whether the CPU, graphics card, memory, and operating system are working properly
after system power-on. If the CPU/VGA/DRAM LED is on, that means the corresponding device is not working
normally; if the BOOT LED is on, that means you haven't entered the operating system yet.

BIOS Switches and BIOS LEDs
The BIOS switch (BIOS_SW) allows users to easily select a different BIOS for boot up or overclocking, helping
to reduce BIOS failure during overclocking. The DualBIOS
(SB) switch allows for enabling or disabling of the
DualBIOS
function.
The LED indicator (MBIOS_LED/BBIOS_LED) shows which BIOS is active.
