A: Yes. The blue LED illuminates as soon as your PC powers on and stays lit while the system is running, giving you a clear visual indicator of your desktop's status at all times.
Q: Is the 1.8 m cable long enough to reach from inside my tower to the top of my desk?
A: For most standard desk setups, 1.8 m (approximately 6 feet) is more than sufficient to route from the motherboard header pins inside a mid-tower case, out through a cable port or gap, and across to a convenient spot on your desktop surface.

A: No — installation is completely plug-and-play. There are no drivers, no software, and no additional tools needed. Just connect the 2-pin plug to your motherboard's power header and you're ready to go.
