From left to right:

hardware kill switch for camera and microphones (internal and external microphones will be cut off)
white LED indicator for cam/mic kill switch, LED on=cam/mic on, LED off=killed
hardware kill switch for WiFi / Bluetooth, actually this will cut power to the WiFi/BT M.2 slot and enable the #DISABLE signal on the M.2 slot
white LED indicator for WiFi / Bluetooth, LED on=WiFi/BT active, LED off=killed
- the LED can be repurposed using the Librem EC ACPI driver, see section "Hardware Specific Software" below
software controlable notification LED, red / gree / blue
power state LED, same states as the outside power state LED:
- off - laptop is powered off
- white - normal operation
- green - charging
- orange - battery state low (less than 20%)
- steady on - laptop is powered up
- glowing / fading on/off - laptop is in sleep mode

Note: There is one case where the power state is ambiguous, when laptop is off but connected to the charger and charging, then it is showing steady 'green' until charge is finished and the LED turns off.
