8.5.3.2 Diagnostics via LEDs
Behavior of the LEDs during booting
The different statuses while booting are indicated using LEDs on the Control Unit.
● The duration of the individual statuses varies.

accordingly via the LEDs.
● Once the unit has been successfully booted, all the LEDs are switched off briefly.
● Once the unit has been booted, the LEDs are driven via the loaded software.
