DS4 and DS5 = USB power for downstream devices

DS5 = USB port 1- lower

DS4 = USB port 2- upper

(There is no DS2 or DS3 on the board.)

When illuminated, these LEDs indicate that the computer is providing power (+5 V) to downstream USB ports. USB devices do not need to be connected in order for these LEDs to illuminate. However, if one or both of the LEDs is not illuminated and a USB device is/was attached (and the system has completed its boot process), then the logic board has removed downstream power because of a trouble condition.
