There are no relays in the Polaris. On startup, the LEDs initially come up in a random state, and less than a second later the CPU initializes them to the correct state. If the CPU never starts, or crashes before that point, the LEDs will be in that initial random state, which will usually be invalid (e.g., more than one letter or digit on).
