Some questions about Maximus V Formula

Today I received the Maximus V Formula and I have some questions.

- The hard drive LED is always going to be flashing ?

- The SupremeFX LED, and ROG logo LED, will be enabled after turning off the PC ?
How can I do that when the PC is turned ON, these LEDs are ON, but when I turn OFF the PC, to LEDs OFF ?
PS: Because I just discovered, that can be turned OFF in the BIOS, but it has to be always OFF, even when the PC is ON.

Edit1:
Q Code 80 what is it, I have this code always after the PC has booted

Thanks !!

When there is hard drive activity, that LED will be flashing. It's a normal behaviour. With the SupremeFX lighting, that's how it was programmed. Unfortunately you cannot change it to do it the the way you mentioned. When your motherboard posts, it goes through a bunch of QCODEs. It's a normal thing. Don't worry about it and enjoy your system. 😉

Ok, thanks for answering.

I have understood that the code 80 has to do with the AI Suite II software, and is like a software issues, but they also say it's nothing dangerous, because it says that there is an error code.
If I uninstall AI Suite II, this code disappears ?

-try unplugging the sata cd\dvd if you have one and see if it stops flashing , it does on my system.
I went to a usb external one to free up a intel sata port , didn't like the non intel sata ports.

Well, actually flashes at the same rate, with the LED also indicates my case hard drive. I think this blinking when it is active.

You say that if I connect the DVD to a SATA port ASMedia, stop blinking ?

SOLVED the 80 q-code, I uninstalled the AI Suite II, and now I have the A0, to everybody.

just unplug it for testing , if it stops it will save you trying to track down a phantom flashing hd light.
-I only keep it for a recovery cd and don't think I can boot from the asmeda ports so I did not try it.
