Power on LED indicator codes
The Power on indicator button has a dual color Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is on the front panel of the system. This indicator
functions as a system diagnostic LED.
NOTE:
The diagnostic LED is active and visible only during the POST process. Once the operating system starts to load,
