[rescue] Troubles with an SE card

[Shawn Wallbridge]

>      QA    X  X  PCI Expansion
>      QD    X  X  QB
>      QC    X  X  Heart
>
> The "BaseIO" and "Heart" LEDs should be lit, no matter what.  The "Q"
> LEDs are XIO presence-detect indicators.  When facing the rear of the
> machine, "A" is the upper-left slot, "B" is the upper-right, "C" is the
> lower-left, and "D" is the lower-right slot.

> If the LED corresponding to the card with the SE is not lit, the card
> isn't even alive enought to talk on the XIO bus, which probably
> indicates a munged compression connector or a cracked board.

> Also, make sure you have the SE card installed in slot "A".  That's
