IP35 Red light Help Please

shortone · 1 Sep 2007 at 10:28

Hi all,

Just got my new rig and I am in the process of building it, I have installed all of my components onto the mobo Abit IP35-PRO and I am in the process of installing vista so far so good, I have one concern on the mobo there is a red light 3VSB in the manual this states that this light indicates if there is a power supply connected with a power source. Is this red light an issue ? Everything is working fine.

I am wondering if it is due to the fact that I only have a 4 pin ATX12v lead rather than the 8 pin EPS12v ? it states in the manual it is better to use the 8 pin but a 4 pin will work.

I am using an Hiper 580w PSU
Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Shorty

you answered your own question dude
"in the manual this states that this light indicates if there is a power supply connected with a power source."
if light is on, powersupply is connected

You are not the only one . I thought the same when i first turned on my Abit Nf7-s

Asus boards have green LEDs which are more intuitive imho.

Perhaps Abit think of it more as a "warning, do not fiddle!" than "hey power, woooooh!"

abits tend to have a red LED for 5VSB (to show that the board has power i.e. not off) & a green LED that illuminates when the board is actually switched on.

And a bloomin-great double-digit LED that tells you what's going on. Too many lights. Especially the blue ones. Added cost/profit margin for no great benefit I reckon.

No blue lights on an IP35 Pro iirc?
On the boards that do have the LED backlighting (MAXs etc.) it's there for the bling, bling particularly those users with windowed cases.
