PRELIMINARY
4-2-5 Using Removable Media
4-2-5-1 Introduction
Vivid S5 N and Vivid S6 N ultrasound scanners are equipped with a Magneto Optical Disk Drive
(MO Drive) and a DVD/CD-RW Drive.
The MOD Drive can be connected to either of the USB ports (upper or lower) on the rear connectors
panel. This connection must be via a USB-to-SCSI adaptor; one side of the adaptor being connected to
the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N USB port, and the other side to the rear of the MOD drive.
When connecting the MOD drive directly to the system, it is necessary to use an additional power
source. Dedicated peripheral power outlets are available at the rear of the system, providing
power to the system’s peripherals via an internal insulation transformer.
The MOD Drive may be connected once the system is powered ON, or after shutdown. All software
drivers for the MOD Drive are pre-configured and installed designated to be used with the specific MOD
drive supplied by GE HEALTHCARE.
4-2-5-2 Install MO Disk in MO Drive
1.) Preparations before installing an MO disk in the MO Drive:
a.) The unit must be turned ON and “up and running” before using the MO Drive
b.) Verify the MO disk for loose hardware or damaged labels which could jam inside the MO Drive.
c.) Ensure that the slide switch in one corner of the disk is set so that the disk is write enabled
(disk hole closed).
2.) Insert the disk into the MO Disk Drive with the label for the side you intend to use, facing up.
NOTE: A new physical storage message is displayed.
4-2-5-3 Eject and Remove MO Disk from MO Drive
In some cases, the MO Disk is ejected automatically. If not automatically ejected, use the manual
ejection method as described in the following steps:
1.) Press the Eject button on the keyboard
OR
Press <Alt> + E on the alphanumeric keyboard to display the Eject Device menu.
Do not attempt to use a different type of mass storage device other than the
MOD Drive supplied with the system. The ultrasound system is an extremely sensitive
and complex medical system. Any unauthorized peripherals may cause system failure
or damage!
Never move the unit with a MO disk in the Magneto Optical Disk Drive because the drive actuator
will not be locked and the Magneto Optical Disk Drive could break.
Do not eject the MO Disk using the button on front of the MO drive.
