Overview

This procedure describes how to install the workspace LCD color monitor used with the MR system.

Procedure

  1. Remove the new LCD monitor from its box and its packing and set the LCD monitor on the operator workspace table.
    Note:

    Only use the DVI-D and AC power cables. The other items are not used. Dispose of unused items locally.

  2. Connect the display cable from the GOC to the corresponding port on the Monitor.
  3. Connect the video and power cables to the LCD monitor. Route these cables neatly to the back of the monitor base and the operator workspace.

    Note:
    For HP monitor, use the power cord adapter GE part number 5412946-2 to attach the IEC connection to the monitor.
    Figure 2. HP Monitor Power Cord Adapter (5412946-2)
    Note: Ensure that only GEHC product video hardware is connected to the GOC so that the software properly installs.
  4. Turn on the monitor by pressing the power switch on the back of the monitor (see , , or Figure 4). Check that the main LCD monitor power is on. If not, press the Power On/Off button on the front panel.

  5. Position the monitor no closer than 16 in (41 cm) and no farther than 28 in (71 cm) from the eyes. The optimal distance is 24 in (61 cm) for either of the monitors.
    Note:

    Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before performing any adjustments.

  6. Boot up the GOC and log in as root.
    Note:

    It is possible that the customer changed the default password. If you cannot log in, contact the customer for the correct password.

  7. Open Guided Install and select Basic Configuration > System Configure
  8. Refer to Figure 5 to verify the following:

    • Make sure the correct video card is selected. If not, choose the correct video card model from the Video Card menu. If the correct video card is not listed, make sure the most recent MrApps software and Service Packs are loaded.

      Note:

      To determine the video card model (if not auto-populated), open a command window and log in as root. Type the command lspci | grep VGA.

      Note: It is possible that the customer changed the default password. If you cannot log in, contact the customer for the correct password.

    • Make sure the correct display type is selected. If not, choose the correct monitor model from the Display Type menu. If the monitor model is not listed, make sure the most recent MrApps software and Service Packs are loaded.

      Note:

      For the NEC P241W monitor, select LCD Monitor as the display type. After the LCD Monitor is configured in Guided Install, default gamma tables will be installed on the system.

      If Guided Install does not provide the LCD Monitor setting, select NEC2490WUXi2 instead.

      For the HP monitor, select the display type LCD Monitor - Other.

  9. Click Configure.
  10. When the process is complete, exit Guided Install and reboot the system.
  11. Log in as sdc with password adw2.0.
    Note: It is possible that the customer changed the default password. If you cannot log in, contact the customer for the correct password.
  12. Adjust the screen of the monitor to suit the preference of the customer. For details and recommended settings, see LCD Monitor Screen Adjustments.

Finalization

Perform a scan to ensure the system is working properly.

Note:

If the system has a camera and the customer wants to match the camera image to the new monitor image, the customer must notify the camera vendor that a new monitor type has been installed and camera adjustments are required.
