NVRAM and flash via holding BENDER and powering the board on E 7 Patches and presets copied from internal flash to NVRAM This converts presets from Europa format back to Roland format so the Roland code can read the patches and presets Note that many Europa specific settings are lost if the data is copied to NVRAM and then back to flash GROUP F BOOT CODES The F group of boot codes indicate diagnostic failures that Europa has detected but cannot correct due to the memory protect switch being on One or more of these codes will be shown but the board will not boot further as they are hard failures that need to be corrected before board execution can occur F 4 to F 5 Identical to E 4 and E 5 as listed in the prior E group section but the conditions are not correctable due to the memory protect switch being on To correct power off the Jupiter 6 disable the memory protect and power the Jupiter 6 on F 6 Indicates that one or both voice boards are not responding This fault can also show up if the voice boards connections to the controller board were installed backwards or aren t making a solid connection to the controller board F 7 Identical to E 7 above but indicates that the copy to NVRAM isn t possible because the memory protect switch is on For convenience Europa s Powerup diagnostic flowchart is as follows Page 18 Board power on CPU Stack RAM OK ane code mt CPU XRAM OK
