The power LED is software controlled. It won't turn on without the CPU telling it to.

If you had a keyboard it would be using the LEDs to show how the POST is progressing.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

To satisfy my Sun workstation craving I accepted a freebie from work 26 years ago. It's been under the bed in the front room almost all this time. They had lots of different models up for grabs. I went with the Sun Ultra 5 as unlike older models it's practically a PC but with an Ultra SPARC processor. It has IDE for HDD & CDROM, 31Khz VGA output, standard PCI slots and standard DRAM slots.
