optiplex gx270

I am using a couple different boards 0FG015 and they work fine but I can not get a green light on the aux pwr light on the board. It is always amber. I have changed cpu's, power supplies, fans, ram, hard drives, video cards, etc. No issues show up on the dell diagnostics, so why always the amber light? No bad/swollen caps either.

If I recall correctly, the light is always amber on these boards... Ben

Thanks , I did look at the docs, it doesn't seem to mention the color
of the aux pwr light on the board though.

Ben the color of the material on the outside of the light appears to
be green when the power is disconnected. Maybe its no big deal.
My old gx 240 has an amber pwr light on the board and then a separate
green light on the board when it starts...
