LED Blink Patterns
The heartbeat and system fault LEDs show the operational status of the router. 
When the POST completes with no errors, these LEDs blink at a steady rate of 
once per second. When the router is in maintenance mode, the heartbeat and 
system fault LEDs are on continuously. 
All other 
system fault
 blink patterns show critical errors. The heartbeat LED shows 
an error blink pattern for the conditions listed in 
Heartbeat Blink Pattern
A blink pattern on the heartbeat LED of one second ON followed by one second 
OFF means that the router is operating normally. The heartbeat LED shows this 
pattern when the router firmware is operational
System Error Blink Pattern
The system fault LED generates a three-blink pattern (once per second) followed 
by a two second pause to indicate a system error.
