i just put together a dual xeon system with the X5DPA-GG motherboard
with a Antec TruePower 550 EPS12V power supply...

the D1 LED on the motherboard lights up in ORANGE as soon as the power
cable is connected. it turns to GREEN when i power on the box and
everything seems to run normal.

my question is, is it normal for the D1 led to glow orange when the
machine is off ?

thanks,

o Generally most recent boards use an LED to indicate standby-power
---- ie, PSU has power & PSU is "off but in standby mode"

o Standby is a maintained 5V feed so the board can boot electrically
---- eg, due to WOL signal, WOModem signal or such like

It's useful for compute servers which are brought up on demand by WOL,
although personally I've never found WOL to be reliable "PC wide".


The LED is a service alert to users that the board is not electrically off,
adding/removing DIMMS should not be attempted until power removed.

Some older boards lacked this LED, and I suspect a casual user or human
error had some adding/removing PCI cards or RAM in a Standby state.
