OK this step is optional. But with the LED is more beautiful and also you can see it in the dark.

These mini HUBS usually have a small green LED . But the problem is that this LED will not be seen after we will place the floopy. So now we choose the color of led Red is more Alert, Green is more adabted in the enviromment special if we work in a drak room. The polarity for those they dont know goes like + is the longer foot of the LED.
Now very carefully by assisting of a solder pump we take appart the all the solder of the HUB's LED and carefully we remove it. You must very carefull because the circuit in that point is very small and fragile and we don't need any breake of the PCB.

Now place the new LED, The + is indicated in the circuit so dont warry about it. The highest point of the LED it must be 2,5cm, not more.

When you done also now place the HUB in the bottom cover and then in the bottom disk and. find out a 2,5cm screw of diameter 2mm. Also a nut of the same diameter. Now your work looks like the image bellow.
