state has a unique blink pattern. Default is disabled.

repeated cycles of 4 blinks and a pause.
S5 (Soft Off) = LED is off.

are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is deactivated by BIOS and would indicate that a halt occurred during
execution if the alert is sent to the management console. An operating system alert is deactivated by
the operating system image and would indicate that a hang occurred during its initialization.
