Introduction: Safety Information
Information Technology Equipment
The hardware components that make up the MARS PC Workstation are
considered to be Information Technology Equipment (ITE). These
individual components have been found to comply with the standard for
Safety of Information Technology Equipment, Including Electrical
Business Equipment EN60950 (UL 950).
The software used in the MARS PC Wo rkstation is consid ered as medical
software. The software has been designed and manufactured to the
appropriate medical regulations and controls.
The MARS PC Workstation, which consists of the hardware and software
components together, is considered a medical device. However, the
appropriateness of applying the ITE requirements to evaluate the
hardware portions of the workstation can be justified by the fact that the
MARS PC Workstation does no t h ave a ny a pplied pa rts nor is the M ARS
PC Workstation intended for use in the “patient environment”.

or supported by GE Me d ica l Sy st em s Information Technologies.
The MARS PC Work station c an be con figured in to a stand alone, a server,
or a client system. The configurations are described below:
1. Standalone
The patient data is stored locally and saved patient reports can
be sent to a MUSE server across a network. There is no access to
patient data from other MARS systems. The standal one runs
with Windows NT or Windows 2000 professional software.
2. Server
All patient data will be stored on the MARS PC server and can be
accessed by MARS PC clients. However, in the event of server
failure or availability, patient data acquired at the client will be
stored locally on the client. The server may have a card re ader o r
tape acquisition devices on it if 5 or less clients are attached. The
patient reports can also be sent to a MUSE server. The server
runs with Windows 2000 server software.
3. Client
Network Functions
The client automatically sends patient data to the MARS PC
server, and has access to all patient data stored on the server. It
has data acquisition devices attached. The patient reports can
also be sen t t o a MU S E se r ver . Th e cl ie nt m ust h ave a M A RS P C
server to operate. The client runs with Windows NT or Windows
2000 Professional software.
The individual configurations can create three different MARS PC
network configurations using a standard ethernet TCP/IP network.
The network configurations are:
1. MARS PC standalone configuration
This configuration can communicate with a network printer
and/or a MUSE server. It can also have a parallel printer.
2. MARS PC client-server configuration.
This configuration allows the MARS PC client to access and send
patient data to a MAR S PC serv er. Pati e n t data is aut oma ti ca l ly
sent from the client to the MARS PC server. Patient reports can
also be sent to a MUSE server. The client can print to a network
or parallel pri nter.
3. MARS PC server configuration
All patient data will be stored on the MARS PC server and can be
accessed by MARS PC clients. It may have card reader or tape
acquisition devices if five or less clients are attached. The server

Network Setup for Windows 2000 Systems
Default Factory Setup
At the factory and during a rebuild, all MARS PC server, client and
standalone systems (which use the Windows 2000 Operating System) are
setup to use Windows workgroups by default. A new workgroup
(MARSWORKGROUP) is set up automatically at the MARS PC server to
provide secure client access to the drive shares.
A drive share with read/write/execute permission is set up automatically
for “<server drive letter>:\gemsit” (with a drive share name of “gemsit”)
to allow the client to access the reports and slots directories.
The mei user account is automatically created and added to the
MARSWORKGROUP. All new users added to the MARSWORKGROUP
will have access to the drive shares.
,03257$17
To protect the MARS PC Workstation from viruses, the appropriate
anti-virus software should be installed before connecting the system
to the network. It is recommended that the customer turn on the
anti-virus software auto protect option, and keep the virus
definitions current to avoid virus infections. Please discuss virus
protection with the hospital Information Systems (IS) department
before proceeding with the network installation of this equipment.
In addition to installing anti-virus software, it is recommended that
the customer limit drive share access for additional virus protection.
This can be accomplished by changing the share permissions for the
gemsit folder. It is recommended that permissions be set for
individual users, rather than the entire MARSWORKGROUP or an
entire domain. This will change the default factory setup.
Adding New Users to Workgroups
To add a new user to a workgroup you must add the user to the MARS
PC server and to the MARS PC client.

If you would like further assistance, please contact the MARS PC
Workstation Technical Support Line at 1-800-558-7044 or
1-561-575-5000 ext. 4243.
Domain Network
If a customer has its own domain controller, the MARS PC can be added
to the domain. The advantage of using a domain controller over the
workgroup is that is allows for centrally controlled user administration.
If you create a new user account on a domain controller, the new a ccount
is automatically added as a member of that domain.

Joining MARS PC to a Domain
The following are the general steps necessary to add the MARS PC to the
domain:
1. The customer must provide the domain name to be used.
2. Add the user names to the domain.
3. Configure the MARS PC server and the clients to join the domain.
127(
This section is onl y needed if the customer intends to configure the
MARS PC to join a domain and does not want to use the workgroup
default setup.

Standalone units can also be added to the domain, but there is no
advantage to doing this.
4. Configure the gemsit drive share on the server with full control
permissions for the domain users.

Standalone and Client Configurations Running Windows NT
127(
This section is for MARS PC standalone and client systems running
the Windows NT Operating System.
The following st eps are needed to complete the network configuration of
the Windows NT boxes:
1. Determine if the MARS PC system has Ethernet capabilities.
2. Add network drivers if necessary.
3. Perform the software upg rade from version 5.1 (for standalone
configurations).
127(
The upgrade allows the option of keeping the unit as a standalone or
changing it to a client configuration.
4. Set up the network.
5. Check out the system.
Ethernet Capabilities
If the system box does not have an Ethernet card it can be upgraded to
MARS PC version 6, but it cannot be attached to the network or
communicate with the MUSE system. There is no network upgrade kit
available for these units.
Only the MARS PC version 5.10 standalone configuration is available as
an upgrade to version 6. The upgraded systems cannot support the tape
acquisition unit.
Determine if Adding Network Drivers is Necessary
All MARS PC systems that have a product code of PU have network
capability. The PU product code units were manufactured in the United
States, and run on a Compaq or Hewlett Packard box. You must confirm
that units without the PU product code contain a network card.
Looking at the seri al label on the back of the unit determine:
if the MARS PC... then go to...

Adding Network Drivers
If you look at the back of the MARS PC system (catalog number
2006542-002) and see an Ethernet connector, the system has network
capabilities, but the network drivers must be installed prior to upgrading
the unit. Use the Installation Guide, part number 2006531-006, for
instructions on adding network drivers.
After you have installed the network drivers go to “Perform Software
Upgrade to v6” on page 3-6.
Perform Software Upgrade to v6
Introduction
Before beginning this setup, consult with the hospital Information
Technology (IT) department and determine if the site is planning to use
workgroups or a domain. If using workgroups, gather the user name,
password, and computer name. If using domain, gather the user account
domain and computer domain information.
Available Configurations
127(
This section is for upgrading a MARS PC standalone workstation to a
client configuration, or to a new standalone configuration that has
networking capabilities. The system must be running software
revision 5.10 to upgrade to version 6.
The MARS PC upgrade options available are:
1. Standalone
The patient data is stored locally and saved patient reports can
be sent to a MUSE server across a network. There is no access to
patient data from other MARS systems. The standalone
configuration runs with Windows NT or Windows 2000
professional software. Use the standalone configuration if t h ere
is no MARS PC server available.
2. Client
The client must have a MARS PC server available. The client
automatically sends patient data to the MARS PC server, and
has access to patient data stored on the server. It has data
acquisition devices attached. The patient reports can also be sent
to a MUSE server. The client runs with Windows NT or Windows
2000 Professional software.
Upgrade Options
The MARS PC allows a choice between a Custom Upgrade or a Typical
Upgrade. It is important to understand the difference between the
upgrades before you continue.

127(
If you want to change from a standalone configuration to a client
configuration, you must perform the Custom Upgrade option.
The Typical Upgrade will keep the standalone configuration and will add
networking capabilities. It will not prompt the user to select be twe en a
client or a standalone configuration. The Typical Upgrade does not make
any changes to the MARS PC application location, number of patient
slots, or startup information. The Typical Upgrade leaves all the patient
data in its current location and retains the System Setup information.
Custom Upgrade
The Custom Upgrade will prompt the user to select between a client or a
standalone configuration. The Custom Upgrade will prompt the user to
change the MARS PC application location, number of patient slots, and
startup information. The Custom Upgrade option will maintain the
original patient data, even if the user changes the MARS application
software from the current disk location. The System Setup information
will be retained.

Troubleshooting: Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
The theory of operati on provides a very bro ad overvie w of the s ystem box
hardware and the various MARS PC configurations.
Configurations
There are three different MARS PC network configurations available
using a standard Ethernet TCP/IP network. The MARS PC can be
configured as a client, a server, or a standalone unit.
Standalone
The MARS PC standalone stores patient data locally, and the saved
patient reports can be sent to a MUSE server across the network. The
MARS PC standalone cannot receive patient data from other MARS
systems.
Client
Server
System Box
The MARS PC client allows reports to be edited and printed. The MARS
PC client-server configuration allows the MARS PC clients to access and
automaticall y send pa tie nt dat a to the MARS PC se rver vi a the networ k.
Patient reports can be sent to a MUSE server.
MARS PC servers store the patient data, and “serve” file requests from
other MARS PC clients on the net work. A ll patie nt data wi ll be store d on
the MARS PC server and can be accessed by MARS PC clients. The
server can support a maximum of 25 MARS PC clients. The patient
reports can also be sent to a MUSE server.
The system box contains a motherb oa rd, C PU proc essor( s), hard dri ve or
drives, physical RAM, an internal CD-RW drive, floppy diskette drive,
two separate Ethernet network ada pters, and a power supply. It also
contains four audio ports, an internal speaker, two parallel ports and
four serial ports. PCI expansion slots connect directly to the system bus
and allow for additional network interface cards and other devices.
The motherboard contains the main ethernet interface for connecting to
the network. MARS non-realtime devices such as printers or RSS access
units have independent ports.

First Things to Ask
If the unit is not working prop erly, start by asking yourself these basic
questions.
1. Are the unit and all peripherals turned on?
2. Have there been any changes in the use, lo cation, or environment of
the equipment that could cause the failure?
3. Has the unit been modified in any way, either in software or
hardware?
Visual Inspection
AreaLook for the following problems
I/O Connectors and Cables
4. Is operator error the cause of the problem? Try to repeat the user’s
scenario exactly and compare that to the proper operation of the
equipment. Check the operator’s manual as necessary.
A thorough visual inspection of the equipment can save time. Small
things — disconnected cables, foreign debris on circuit boards, missing
hardware, loose components — can frequently cause symptoms and
equipment failures that may appear to be unrelated and difficult to
track.
Read the Disassembly Guidelines in the product’s OEM manual before
you perform an internal visual inspection of the components.
Take the time to make all the recommended visual checks (refer to the
following visual inspection chart) before starting any detailed
troubleshooting procedures.
