are you sure it's not the Fan light ?? I know that Nortel pulled out a patch on BCM 200 with 'red fan light' problems. The patch resolves the problem pretty easily. But if it's your power light.... no clue.
good luck !

Does the system power up.
If the system does not power up remove all the modules and try again. Have seen this fault with a faulty module.

Red light failures are usually faulty base function trays. Document PAA-2003-0305 Global. There is an updated document that's been release since then, but I can't find it at this point. Here's a snippet from that doc:
Recently, following reports from Nortel Networks distribution channels, a small percentage of field failures of the Business Communications Manager 3.0 in both the BCM 200 and BCM 400 systems was discovered. The characterization of these failures is an operational system failure with the red power LED remaining on and the inability to reset the system by either the reset button or a main power reset. After extensive testing in Nortel Networks labs, a component failure due to a process issue has been identified on the BCM motherboard, which causes the BCM system to go into a stand-by mode.
Call ITAS, open a case, and they'll RMA the tray for you.

I've seen a BCM200 with this, although in my case sometimes it would go green momentarily. Internal traffic was OK, however, the BRI module would trip in and out. The red light is invariably a hardware fault, in my case it was the PSU rails flctuating. Changed PSU, everything fine and dandy thereafter.
