Hello pamijill56,
I am from Dell Social Media and Community.
The system light (Power button light) and the diagnostic lights are the only two lights that are considered for troubleshooting.
Follow the link below to find more information about the LED indicators.
https://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/Op745/en/UG_en/trouble.htm#wp1114432
If you are referring to any other LED light in the system, I would suggest you to ignore it.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.
