and their associated meanings are covered in Section 5.6.)

Enabling blackout mode turns all front-panel LEDs off.

Disabled

, the procedure below will enable it

(turn off the front-panel LEDs). If the Bridge is already in
blackout mode, the procedure will disable it (turn the front-
panel LEDs back on)
