One is to indicate power is on to the system and the other is usually a HDD activity LED indicator. This one usually blinks rapidly when storage is being accessed.

Both LEDs used to be green and now you have one green and one red? (Which is what it seems from the picture?) Or you had a green LED and no LED next to it?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Is that a pre-built or your own filled case?
If the first, does it have a manual telling you what this very specific thing means?

If its the 2nd, how are those lights connected?
Most likely like others have said, one power LED and another for HDD activity.

 

And also is this a new computer (to you) that you ask this question?

Shouldve put a little summary besides just posting the picture, make it easier on us all. 🙂

In traffic green means go red means stop.

This is not traffic however so we would need more info.

We dont know that specific case, or how its built. 😉

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!

It means whoever designed the case thought it would look nice with a red power LED and a green drive activity LED.

 

The color doesn't matter, only whether they're on or not. (They can only light up in one color, they're not RGB.) Back in the day, it was common to see green power LEDs and yellow (amber) drive activity LEDs. 

I sold my soul for ProSupport.
