This module describes the procedures used to upgrade the Console Bulkhead. The new bulkhead has three additional RJ45 ports, to allow the direct connection of the ECG device, the Injector Device, and an Auxiliary Printer.
1 Power-Off (Shut Down) the Console
Procedure
- Select one of the following methods to Power OFF the Operator Console:
- If Applications are up, click on the [Shut Down] button and select [Shutdown]. The Operator Console monitor will display a 'Power Down' message when it is acceptable to power OFF the Operator Console.
- If Applications are down, open a Unix Shell. Type: halt. The Operator Console monitor will display a 'Power Down' message when it is acceptable to power OFF the Operator Console.
- Power OFF the console at the front panel switch.
2 Remove the Old Bulkhead
Procedure
- The old bulkhead is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Old Bulkhead Assembly

- Remove the front and rear Operator Console covers.
- Unplug the main Power from the Console Bulkhead.
- Unplug the Hospital Network Cable from the Console Bulkhead and label if not already labeled.
- Remove the 4 screws holding the bulkhead in place and retain for later use.
- Pull the Bulkhead slightly.
- Disconnect the J20 Cable from the Bulkhead, and label appropriately if it is not already labeled.
- Unplug J52, Data Cable.
- Unplug any other Network Connections that may be plugged in.
- Disconnect G1, from both sides of the bulkhead.
- Disconnect fiber optics cable from both sides of the bulkhead.
- From the Host Computer disconnect:
- G2 Ethernet Cable – HOST “Ethernet Port D”
- Network Host “Ethernet Port A”
- AW – Host Network
- Remove the old bulkhead and set it aside.note:
Refer to the schematic located on the rear console cover for cable connection details.
3 Install Ethernet Switch
Procedure
- Remove the power switch assembly, using a 3mm Allen Wrench or Phillips
Head screw driver depending on your console configuration.
Figure 2. Remove the Power Switch Assembly

- Remove the Service key cable from the power switch assembly.
Figure 3. Service Key Connector

- Remove 3 screws from the power switch assembly and pull cover plate away from the assembly.
- Disconnect the power cable from their connection terminals.
- Move the power switch from the old power switch assembly to the new one.

- Move J25 connector from the old power switch assembly to the new one and set aside.
4 Install Mounting Bracket
NOTE: Skip this section for GOC4 Upgrades.
Procedure
- Attach 2 mounting clip nuts to the pre-drilled holes just above the
outlet box. Take caution not to drop the mounting screws or clip nuts behind
the power box.
Figure 5. Clip Nut Position

- Attach L Mounting Bracket to the vertical rails using existing 4mm threaded
