Orange blink on Nuc I5 8th gen

Roon Software Discussion ROCK
1

Hello guys,

Sorry to ask this question but what is the orange blinking cyclindre on the front panel of the Nuc? Not the power button but opposite side.

I just can’t find the answer on the net even on user manual…

I have just installed Roon rock smoothly on this brand new NUC.
It works fine as a core but this thing cannot stop blinking on orange every 5 seconds.

I tried removed Ram and SSD

My only clue so far is that it does not blink when i am into the bios.
Many thanks in advance

Benjamin

I reply to myself, finally found the answer on the forum
It is the HDD led…and written nowhere on Intel’s manuals… grrrrrr

A black stationary dot will solve the issue

Thanks :grimacing: it is fair to joke about it

I do that for bright leds on things I don’t care to see. Small enough to miss noticing and very effective. Not joking at all. :cowboy_hat_face:

Ah ok thanks because i just figure out that i can disable it in the BIOS.
But your idea is good for all poluting lights at home! :+1:

Hi,

I have this “problem”, and no matter what I choose in the BIOS I cannot turn off the blinking orange light. Any advice?

Thanks.

Put a piece of tape over it.

This is SSD working, no worries nothing bad.
As said previously and I thought it was a joke but at the end I end up putting a piece of black tissu on it.
