The D-LED™ uses graphic signal display to help users understand
their system. Four LEDs embedded in the mainboard provide up to 16 combi-
nations of signals to debug the system. The 4 LEDs can debug all problems
that fail the system, such as VGA, RAM or other failures. This special feature
is very useful for the overclocking users. These users can use the feature to
detect if there are any problems or failures.
