Chapter 7 - Diagnostics/Troubleshooting 7-37
Section 7-8
Minimum Configuration to Boot/Scan
7-8-1 Booting without using the Ultrasound Hardware
If the low-level ultrasound hardware is failing, the application can not be initialized correctly.
Consequently, proper boot-up of the system is prevented.
By steadily pressing the H key on the alphanumeric keyboard during startup, the application can be
started, even if the ultrasound-hardware is broken.
The hardware is not initialized; the application simply does not get ultrasound data into process.
However, one can use the Image Archive function to save patient archive and images, and to gather
system information by saving a "Full Backup". The remote service capabilities are also present.
Before that some BIOS value should be changed to boot without ultrasound hardware.
BIOS value change:
1.) Turn the system on and press “Del” key to enter the BIOS menu.
2.) Enter Password “polaris” and press “Enter” key.
3.) In case of Ivybridge Com Express,
go to “Advanced -> PCI & PCI Express -> PCI Express Port 0”
