Question Red Light on My Z270 Motherboard

Hi all,

I am not able to take a picture of it because my phone is broken right now. But I have this picture from the internet. I pointed the red light with a red highlighter:

I am using my PC without any seen problem. Here is its specs:

MSI Z270 Gaming M3 motherboard

GSkill RipJaws 3200MHz RAMs, Dual channel as 2-4 and 2x8GB.

i5 7600K CPU

MSI GTX 1060 6G Gaming X GPU

650W Thermaltake 80+ PSU

Thermaltake 3.0 Water water cooling.

The problem is that I have no idea about that red light. I tried to find it from my user manual, however I could not. The light is near to my RAMs. My BIOS is updated. Do you have any thought?

Can you identify which LED, specifically? All the debug LEDs on that board are in the same general vicinity.
It'll be printed on the PCB, likely below the LED. CPU/DRAM/VGA or BOOT.

On page 40 of your manual....that is showing that is the XMP LED.

If it is on....it means XMP is enabled.

Misread the question. If the system is functioning correctly - it's very likely the XMP LED as jay33267 mentions.

A lot of boards have an LED that's simply "everything is ok" too, so it may just be a successful post LED - although given the location, XMP sounds right.

Some of users said that red light is for XMP. I think that means my XMP is on. That manual picture you sent, the light is not located on that red circle on my motherboard. Thanks for your help anyway, I think I have no problem about anything, I just wanted to know if there is one.
