3. Notes for updating
1) Never turn off the power during the updating the DRAW program. If updating is not
completed successfully, the screen shows nothing and re-updating is disabled. When
this occurs, the SPU board should be replaced or update by the Mini-program card is
required. See page5-9.
2) In updating the RFC program, if the next step does not start with the message “NOW
ERASING Message….” displayed for 30 seconds or more, try again.
3) The SPU board uses three CPU programs: MAIN, ARPA, and DRAW CPU and
FPGA Program. Each program is isolated.
4) The table below lists approximate time for updating.
