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”.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

Area Look 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.
