SeaSonic S12-430 power switch

My SeaSonic S12-430 has a power switch at its back. Does anyone know what it does exactly?
Someone told me that when you turn off a power strip that has a switch, it can still leave the devices connected to the phase wire (whatever that is).
I wonder if this applies to my PSU, because whenever I work inside my computer I turn off the switch of both my PSU and the power strip, just to be sure. I don't unplug because I want to stay connected to the earth, but I'm concerned my components are connected to the phase wire when I'm working inside.
Someone else on another forum mentioned that if the motherboard has a +5VSB LED and it goes off when you switch the PSU off, you should be safe. Does anyone have that kind of LED with the same PSU?
