Little red light on MOBO

[clare]

Good morning,

I have an ABIt AB9 Pro MOBO. I am running it in a case with a viewing window. I have noticed on the MOBO to the side of the RAM a small but very bright red light. This occurs when the PC has been booted, and stays lit when the PC has shut down. I have to disconnect the mains, or flick the case switch on the PSU to turn it out.

Please can someone identify the light and its purpose? Is it a hazard to keep it lit?

Many thanks

Clare
