Diagnostic button for the power supply known as PSU BIST (Built In Self Test). This tool enables technical support agents to determine if the PSU is working properly.
PSU BIST has 2 diagnostic results – Green LED = PASS, no LED = Troubleshoot (you will need to troubleshoot to fault isolate if the PSU BIST fails).
Proper usage of PSU BIST requires multiple attempts to fault isolate whenever a faulty component is present.
Perform the Power Supply (PSU) Built In Self Test (BIST) to make sure there are no issues with the PSU.

Thanks for the replies. This forum is more helpful than any of Dell's online options.
