What is this button?

There is a sliver button on the left side of my mbp. Next to it are 8 tiny lights. When I press the button 6 of the lights light up briefly. Does anyone know what this button is?

It'd do you a whole ton of good to read the user's guide that came with the laptop and is also available online.

Indeed.

RTFM, always helps to do so.

You guys are so nice for not telling him it's the automated format button. You just know when it kicks in at next boot that he won't be back to call ya on it
