Chapter 6: Troubleshooting The diskette drive LED is lit continuously ■ Remove the diskette from the drive. If the light stays on, try restarting your server. ■ Open your server and make sure that the cables are connected correctly to the diskette drive and the system board. The red-striped edge of the data ribbon cable indicates Pin 1 and corresponds with Pin 1 on the diskette drive (typically on the side farthest from the power supply connection). If necessary, reverse one end of the cable so the red-striped edge of the data ribbon cable faces Pin 1 on the diskette drive. Make sure that the pins are not bent or misaligned.
