[SOLVED] What is the meaning of this yellow light inside my tower?

Solution
That looks like a traffic led. There's 2 of them, usually found on either side of a wired connection, when connection signal is good, the first led lights up, the second will blink as the signal sees usage. It shouldn't be a measured blink, but a varied one, depending on what's actually going on with internet use.

Since you don't have a graphics card installed, my guess is it is related to that. The manual for that motherboard doesn't list any LEDs.

@kanewolf I do have a graphics card:
Code:
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso (rev d9)
Do you need more info?

By the way, it always blinks even if the computer is off. It only stops when I turn the thing entirely off with the power switch on the back.
