LED boot sequence
Upon reset, the PWR LED appears solid red for about 2 seconds
(system boot), followed by 12 seconds of Orange (start of system
boot process). The PWR LED then fast flashes between red and
green for 30 seconds (stage 1 of system boot process) followed
by a slow flashes for 50 seconds (stage 2 of system boot process).
At the end of the boot sequence the PWR should appear solid
green. The time periods are approximate, and depend on the
hardware and firmware revisions.
