ABSTRACT:
A computer system having a computer housing, a printed circuit board within the housing having at least one connector for receiving an expansion card, a power control switch for controlling power to the connector, and an actuator device that is movably coupled to the printed circuit board so that movement of the actuator relative to the printed circuit board causes the actuator to activate the power control switch. The actuator is further capable of transmitting light emitted from a connector status indicator on the printed circuit board from a first point along the length of the actuator to a second point along its length.
