Section 7-10
Minimum Configuration to Boot/Scan
7-10-1 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.
Operation:
1.) Power On / Boot Up the system as described in Section 3-6-2 "Power On / Boot Up" on page 3-23.
2.) As soon as the start-up process bar indicates "Initialization of Voluson", press the H key on the
Alphanumeric keyboard.
3.) Keep the H key pressed during complete startup (~ 1 minute). Following message appears:
