On these DEC power bricks, the LED (originally a filament bulb) is simply
connected to the output (with a series resistor, of course). It should be
on when the supply is operating.
If it's not, then either the PSU brick has problems, there's a short on
the output, or (of course) the bulb/LED has failed.
I would grab a voltmeter and check the voltage at the backplane. And then,
if necessary, look at the printset to debug the regulator brick.
