On a standalone device, this button is always on. In Active/Standby pairs, it is on for the active unit and off for the standby
unit. In Active/Active pairs, it is on for any unit with an active failover group. Furthermore, when the system software causes

causes the button to be off, pushing the button lights it. Pushing the button again will cause it to turn off again.
