Helios4 board was designed to either use the on-board LEDs or use an expansion panel (not-available). To use the on-board LEDs insure to switch to ON the dipswitch SW2.

## Reset Button
Helios4 board provides a RESET push button (U16) to hard reset the SoC (System-On-Chip).
![Reset Button](/img/hardware/reset_button.jpg)
!!! Important
This button only power reset the SoC and not the overall board power circuit. For instance it won't reset the HDD.
