(10HW02.x / 10HW33.x) Load From Cold - Optima CT660

Prerequisites

Overview

The following procedure describes and illustrates the system software loading process commonly referred to as the Load From Cold (LFC). It is important to follow the steps listed below in order.

1 Software Deliverable for RIO Console

Procedure

  1. CTT Operating System, Version 5.3.11
  2. CT Applications Software

2 Pre-LFC Checks and Information Gathering

Procedure

  1. Confirm that a current System State Backup Media is on site. If unsure of the status of the System State, execute System State Save Restore procedure found in the Software Chapter of this manual. Save a System State Backup to either DVD-RAM or USB Media.
  2. Remove all media from DVD Peripheral Towers before starting the OS Load of the LFC process.
  3. Record the following setting information:
    • Connecct Pro (IP Address, Port Number, Etc.)
      PPS server information can be confirmed by the following procedure.
      1. {ctuser@hostname} cd /usr/g/ctuser/resources/pps
      2. {ctuser@hostname} head -12 ppsserver.cfg

        Output Example:

        PPS_REMOTE_AE_LIST =

        {

        # AppTitle,IPAddress,IPPortNo,HostName;

        DICOM_TEST_RMT,3.70.204.86,4500,Default;

      3. Record the PPS Information per the following EXAMPLE:
    • Exam Split (perform the following to determine VES or HES)
      1. {ctuser@hostname}su -
      2. Password:<password>
      3. {root@hostname} ls -l ~ctuser/ves/.hesMode
        note: There are no spaces in the phrase~ctuser/ves/.hesMode.
      4. Examine the results. If the results are similar to:

        -rw-r--r-- 1 ctuser users 0 Apr 3 12:43 /usr/g/ctuser/ves/.hesMode

        then HES (Hard Exam Split) mode is configured.

    • EKG Monitor (model)
    • Injector (pressure Unit) on CSD menu

3 Operating Software (OS) Load

Procedure

  1. Unplug the Hospital Network (HSP) cable from rear Console bulkhead.
  2. Remove the Operator Console front cover per the prescribed procedure Console Cover Removal and Installation.
  3. Insert the OS Disk into the Host Computer DVD Drive. See the following illustrations.
  4. Shutdown and Power Cycle Operator Console (wait approximately 10 seconds for cycle power)

    Figure 1. Monitor Display – System Halted

  5. As the Host Computer restarts, the boot process messages appear. After the booting process completes the boot: prompt appears.
  6. At the “boot:” prompt, type the following:

    Type: boot: GEHC2

    Figure 2. Monitor Display – Boot Prompt

  7. After the OS is loaded on the Host Computer, the Complete Window appears.

    Figure 3. Monitor Display – OS Load Complete

  8. Remove the OS Disk from the Host Computer DVD drive when it ejects and close the tray. Press Enter to Reboot.
  9. The Host Computer begins to reboot.
    note:

    Do not insert the Applications Software DVD into the Host Computer until the Host Computer has completed rebooting and a Terminal Window appears, displaying the prompt: [root@localhost ~]#.

    Figure 4. Terminal Window – After OS Load and Reboot

    note:

    Dual Monitor Displays: From this point in the procedure, the dual monitor display will appear reversed (Right monitor video will display on Left monitor and Left monitor video will display on Right monitor). This is normal, do not move monitor video cables! This also impacts the behavior of the mouse cursor. The mouse cursor will not cross over the middle junction of the dual monitor display. Instead the mouse cursor will need to be dragged to the outside of the dual monitor display in order to change from one monitor to the next. To place the mouse on the right monitor, drag the mouse outside the left monitor’s LEFT side. The mouse will then appear on the right monitor. This condition will be resolved after the Application Software is loaded on the system.

    Error Window After OS Bootup: After the OS Bootup, an Error Window will appear. This is normal and is related to the new Host Computer's (HP Z400) on board audio controller. When Error Window appears, close the error window by clicking on the Close button. This error is the result of driver configuration for the on-board audio hardware and will be resolved once the Application Software load is completed on the system.

    Figure 5. Error Window - After OS Load and Reboot

    note:

    Warning Window During APPS Load: After the OS Bootup and during the APPS load, a Warning Window will appear. This is normal and is related to the Host Computer. When Warning Window appears, ignore it (take no action). This warning message is the result of driver configuration for the on-board audio hardware and will be resolved once the Application Software load is completed on the system.

4 Applications Software (APPS) Load

Procedure

  1. Open the tray on the Host Computer DVD Drive.
  2. Insert the Applications Disk into the DVD Drive and close the tray.
    note:

    The Apps Software Disk will open and run automatically.

  3. Select Run Command in the Warning box.

  6. System State (Install INFO) Media Type decision window will appear

    Select DVD or USB based on media type available.

    Figure 10. System State Media Type Window

  7. Insert the System State Backup Media (DVD-RAM or USB).
    note:

    DVD-RAM Media: Insert DVD-RAM Media into the DVD-RAM Drive located in the DVD Peripheral Drive Tower.

    USB Media: USB Media can be inserted in any of the USB ports located on the console. Recommend using the Service USB port located next to the console's power switch.

    Select OK.

    note:

    Install INFO detail in illustration will differ depending on System type. Verify that the Install INFO detail is correct for the system before selecting [YES].

  10. System Install INFO will be now used to create the CT Application load routine. Do not remove the Apps Disk until completed.
  11. When completed, the Operator Console will automatically reboot.
  12. After the Host Computer reboots, a pop-up window will appear
