Look it up in the manual.

To make it easier, download the PDF version and do a search for "EZ Debug"

read the print on the motherboard, the light is above VGA, which means your having a gpu issue or lack there of.

Motherboard status lights can vary more wildly than the PC vs Console argument from board to board.

Depends on the mobo. My has a two digit code, although it can also replace the digits with some letters.
