Reserve all unused pins: As input tri-stated with weak pull-up-Leds are glow faintly

Hello everyone, 

i am new to FPGA programming.  

I have set the unused pins to tri-stated with weak pull-up. As a result, all the unused LEDs are dim. 

Is there a way to prevent this without having to assign the pins to the LEDs and set them to 0? 

Thanks in advance and apologies for my english.

How about adding this to your .qsf file instead: 

 

set_global_assignment -name RESERVE_ALL_UNUSED_PINS "AS OUTPUT DRIVING GROUND"

Thank you very much for your answer.

The default setting of Quartus was 'as output driving ground' for the unused pins. 

By this setting, I received the warning, "The Reserve All Unused Pin Set has not been specified, and will default to As output driving ground." 

But I must avoid this warning.
