Red Light Blinking

There is a red light blinking on the front of the case. I don't know what it is and why it's blinking. Honestly I don't even know if it was always blinking or not, but recently I noticed it and I don't know why it does that.

 

My PC is working just fine and I read somewhere it could be some indicator that there is dust inside or something like that...But recently I removed the dust so idk...

 

Could someone explain why its blinking like this?

this one: the red light on the front is blinking.

alright, thanks.

if the hard drive blinking bothers you, you can always unplug the lead going into your motherboard telling the LED to blink (The H.D.D Led one)Image result for front panel connectors
