System indicators

The LED system indicators for specific computer operations glow when those operations are in progress.

	Figure 2-7 System indicators
DC IN	The DC IN indicator normally glows green when
	power is being correctly supplied from the AC
	power adaptor. However, If the output voltage
	from the adaptor is abnormal, or if the computer's
	power supply malfunctions, this indicator will go
	out.
Power	The Power indicator normally glows green when
	the computer is turned on. However, if you turn
	the computer off into Sleep Mode, this indicator
	will flash amber - approximately one second on,
	two seconds off - both while the system is
	shutting down and while it remains turned off.
Battery	The Battery indicator shows the condition of the
	battery's charge - green indicates the battery is
	fully charged, amber indicates the battery is
	charging, and flashing amber indicates a low
	battery condition. Please refer to Chapter 6,
	Power and Power-up Modes for more information
	on this feature.
HDD/ODD/eSATA	The HDD/ODD/eSATA indicator glows green
	whenever the computer is accessing the built-in
	hard disk drive or the other drives. It glows amber
	when the ODD is loading a CD or DVD disc.
Bridge media slot	The Bridge media slot indicator glows green
	when the computer is accessing the Bridge
	media slot.
