Is this normal behavior for a Dimension V350?

I recently obtained a Dell V350 Dimension. When I plug it in (either to an outlet or a power strip),the keyboard lights flash momentarily and the computer whirs briefly (less than a second). I've never owned a Dell, and I was wondering if this is characteristic of this make/model or is it a symptom of a problem?

Thank you.

    Yes, that's normal. My V400 does exactly the same. Do you use Linux on this machine, and if so, which distro? My V400 runs well with Xubuntu.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I'm running Ubuntu 5.10, with XFCE as a window manager. I didn't know about Xubuntu at the time. I still haven't decided if I like XFCE. But *ubuntu is very impressive.
