Note: The reset button is slightly recessed from the front panel to

prevent it from being accidentally pressed. You need a tool,
such as a bent paper clip, to press this button.

Power Supply & Status Lights

+3.3-Volt Power Supply Light

The matrix’s +3.3-volt power supply provides electric current to this
green light. When lit, the light indicates that the +3.3-volt supply is
present and supplying power to the card.
