Motherboard LEDs

There are several LEDs on the motherboard. LE1, located near the CPU1

chassis fan connector, indicates that system power is present on the

motherboard when illuminated. DA3 and DA4 are located near the AIC-7899

SCSI controller chip. These LEDs indicate activity on each of the SCSI

channels when flashing. DL2 is located near the JD4 jumper and indicates

connectivity to the LAN when illluminated.
