Reset button on the Motherboard is blinking. Is this normal? Is is something to be concerned about if it isn't normal?
Blinking (white) at different speeds and pauses.
I've had this motherboard for a few months, never noticed it blinking before. But where it's located, it's hard to see it unless my cover is off and I am looking at it from close to the floor. So I just never knew if this is a new thing, or it's been this way from day one.
Button number 17 in the image from the manual.
 
Thanks.

    It's your hard drive activity, if I am not mistaken.

    As Scarlet said it is a hard drive activity light.

    That is documented on Page 11 of Part 2 of your motherboard manual which states that  "The RESET button with an integrated LED indicates the activity status of the hard disk drives and will flicker accordingly."..Interesting stuff.
