LED Information Codes:

The status LED will flash amber to give information codes.  Like the error codes, these alternate 

between flashing for 1 second (tens digit) and 1/2 second (ones digit).  Combine the number of 

longer flashes with the number of shorter flashes to produce a two digit information code:

I19 - erasing disk. 

I23 - initializing system.

I25 - updating firmware.

I26 - initializing web configuration.

I27 - checking USB disk.

I28 - formatting USB disk.
