Safety information

Electrical safety

• To prevent electric shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electric outlet

before relocating the system.

•

When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables

for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,

disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

•

Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all

power cables are unplugged.

•

Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices

could interrupt the grounding circuit.

• Ensure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not

sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power

company.

• If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied service

technician or your retailer.

Product introduction

Thank you for buying an ASUS® M2A74-AM SE motherboard!

Before you start installing the motherboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in

your motherboard package. Refer to page ix for the list of accessories.

If any of the items is damaged or missing, contact your retailer.

1.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change

any motherboard settings.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded

object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to

static electricity

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the

bag that came with the component.

• Before you install or remove any component, switch off the ATX power supply and

detach its power cord. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,

peripherals, or components.

Onboard LED

This motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system

is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you must 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.
