These "RGB" fancy pancy devices usually have some sort of "RGB
CONTROLLER" that is a separate device somewhere where cables come in
(unless it is onboard rgb controller). Follow the wires and see if
there are some sort of regulators / buttons / knobs that would allow
light control :-)

On the other hand, these lights can be used to communicate some
important events, cpu load, network load, etc, well, if its already
out there :-)
