An orange light (sometimes amber or yellow) on the front panel of a server typically indicates a hardware alert or degraded status. After a power outage, if the server is running slowly and there's an error light, a degraded RAID array is a likely cause. This can happen if the RAID controller’s battery backup unit (BBU) has failed or is in a learning cycle, which affects write caching and performance. Therefore, the RAID battery is the most likely component to check next.

Considering servers usually have redundant power supply's I don't think this would cause the system to any run any different. I would go with Raid battery here.
