Troubleshooting General/Logic Board LEDs - 8
Logic Board LEDs
There are seven LEDs on the Power Macintosh G3/Macintosh
Server G3 (Blue and White) computer. A graphic follows that
identifies their logic board location.
DS1 = ATA drive activity
If a CD and/or Zip are attached to the ATA bus, this LED will
illuminate at power/on restart time for a few seconds. After that,
it is unlikely it will illuminate again in a trouble-free system. If
this light stays on for a prolonged period, this is a sign of trouble
on the ATA bus. If devices are connected to the ATA bus and this LED
is dark at boot time, that is also likely a sign of trouble. If a hard
disk drive were attached to this bus, the LED would flicker
regularly indicating drive activity (reads/writes).
Note:
There is no DS2 or DS3 on the board
