It will be until you clear the error condition. The diagnostic codes are here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/SYSTEMS/vos260/en/SM/MT/GUID-875CAF7A-38B2-4683-9BF4-532A1D5BA56A.html
You are going to need to diagnose the issue and resolve it.
For a blinking amber light...
- Remove and then reinstall any cards.
- Remove and then reinstall the graphics card, if applicable.
- Ensure the power cable is connected to the motherboard and processor.
The full manual and troubleshooting info is here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/SYSTEMS/vos260/en/SM/MT/index.html
This could be as simple as reseating a cable or card. The indicator will go out but not until you can identify the issue.
