Pattern
Off when the update begins, then on for
0.5 second, and then off for 0.5 second.
The pattern repeats until the BIOS update
is complete.
On-off (1.0 second each) two times, then a
2.5-second pause (off); the entire pattern
repeats (blinks and pause) until the system
is powered off.
On-off (1.0 second each) three times, then
a 2.5-second pause (off); the entire pattern
repeats (blinks and pause) until the system
is powered off.
Each beep will be accompanied by the
following blink pattern: 0.25 second on,
0.25 second off, 0.25 second on,
0.25 second off. This results in a total of
16 blinks followed by system shut down.
