[Link] Description of the LED statuses
The different statuses that arise during the booting procedure are indicated by means of the
LEDs on the Control Unit.
● The duration of the individual statuses varies.
● If an error occurs, the booting procedure is terminated and the cause is indicated
accordingly via the LEDs.
● Once the unit has successfully booted up, all the LEDs are switched off briefly.
● Once the unit has booted up, the LEDs are controlled via the loaded software.
