blinking), giving an opportunity for a proper image to be uploaded. See chapter 12 (Europa firmware
update utility) for further information. If the Europa image is good, there is no reason to update firmware
to the same version! The EFUU will alert the user to any bad images and if the image is not bad, updating

to the same version will change nothing!

8. Europa execution begins

8. Europa execution begins

lit solid). This indicates one or both voice boards failing or swapped

cables to the controller board.

A command is sent to both voice boards for them to tune themselves. Europa waits for up to 5 seconds
for the voice boards to become busy, and up to 5 seconds for them to become idle. If the voice boards do
not become idle, a voice board failure is assumed and a voice board failure code is shown (indicated by
BANK F
