# The fault LED does not start flashing or does not stop flashing

The initialization wizard indicates that you must transfer the USB flash drive to the canister that you are initializing. After you transfer the USB flash drive to the node canister, the fault LED on the canister starts to flash, and then stops flashing which can take approximately 3 minutes.

If the fault LED does not start flashing or does not stop flashing after the designated time, use these tasks to determine any necessary corrective actions.

Select the appropriate task that fits your situation:

- Determining which port to insert the USB flash drive
  If you are unsure which port to insert the USB flash drive in, use this information to ensure that you are using the correct port.
- The fault LED is not flashing
  If you inserted the USB flash drive into a USB port on a node canister of the correct system and the fault LED of the node canister does not start flashing, use these instructions to determine any necessary actions.
- Fault LED did not stop flashing
  After the USB flash drive is inserted into one of USB ports on the node canister that is being initialized, the fault LED starts to flash, indicating that the node canister is initializing.
