Edit: this guide doesn’t seem to mention it https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t480-type-20l5-20l6/20l6/20l6s01q2y/document-userguide

I was flashing Libreboot on to my ThinkPad T480, when I noticed this little button. Sorry for the poor images!

No idea what the button is and I found nothing about it in the Hardware Maintenance Manual

The system board has the part id 01YU859

Scribd has the schematic of the board, but I'm not technical enough to use it and answer your question.
