Installation Notes

Use the enclosed software installation kit and these instructions to incrementally update or completely rebuild a MARS system to version 4 software.

Each field engineer should keep a complete rebuild kit and take it to each MARS site they are updating. Leave the customer kit at the customer site.

An extra CD was included in the Customer Update Kit. Ask the customer to store the extra copy of the MARS CDROM in a safe place for future system support.

If upgrading any other hardware, install those upgrades after installing the new version of software.

Carefully follow all the steps in these instructions! Skipping steps may result in incorrect software operation.

Determine Upgrade Path

There are three paths available depending on the extent of the update or rebuild needed and platform you are running on.

■ Incremental update

This installs the MARS software only. It does not include installation of the Solaris operating system. Use this path if you are running MARS version 3.1 or higher and need to upgrade or re-install your MARS software.

MARS version 4.1a sof t ware pr oces s es fa st er than MARS version 4.1, therefore always use version 4.1a.

Important Installation Notes: Introduction

■ CD-ROM rebuild (“H” Series platforms)

A full system rebuild. This process installs the SUN Solaris 2.5 operating system and MARS Software Version 4.0a. Use this path if you are running on MARS unity workstation "H" series platforms and you require a complete system rebuild.

Workstations running MARS software Version 3.0 or lower must use this path.

■ CD-ROM rebuild (“R” Series platforms)

A full system rebuild. This process installs the SUN Solaris GE_2.6 operating system and MARS Software Version 4.1b. Use this path if you are running on MARS unity workstation “R” series platforms and you require a complete system rebuild.

Introduction

Incremental Update Procedures: Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for performing an incremental update of the MARS software to version 4.

Your workstation must be at software version 3.1 or higher to perform an incremental update.

If your current software version is 3.0a (or lower), go to chapter 3, “Backup or Record System Setups” to manually record or print your system setups before rebuilding software to version 4.

The incremental update will take about two hours.

To verify the current software version:

1. Click Help on the menu bar.

2. Click About. The version appears on the screen.

IMPORTANT NOTE

LOSS OF DATA (SLOT FILES) MAY OCCUR!

As with any software update, a loss of data is poss ible. Pl ea se refer to the installation notes following.

Before performing this up date it is extremel y important that all data be edited, printed, stored and/or deleted.

Among the circumstances that can result in the loss of data (slot files):

■ updating a system already at version 4.0 or 4.0a.

■ unexpected update failures requiring a full disk rebuild or

drive replacement.

See “Checking the Slo t Set-up” near the end of this c hapter to check and verify your slot configuration after the update.

If you have any problems during the update, contact MARS unity workstation technical support at:

■ 1-800-558-7044 (for calls from within the United States)

■ 1-561-575-5000 ext. 4243 (for international calls)

NOTE

CRS (monitoring) acquisition will stop during the software update. It will resume after the update is successfully completed.

Incremental Update Procedures: Before You Begin

Before You Begin

Locate or Create a

Backup of the Setups

Backup Procedure

If the update fails and a full system rebuild becomes necessary, set-up values will be lost and must be reset. For this reason GE Medical Systems Information Technologies recommends that a current copy of the system setups be available during the update. If a current copy is not available, create one, following the backup procedure described below.

The MARS backup utility saves the current MARS configuration settings for system, users, menus or applications to a floppy diskette. The restore utility can then be used to restore these settings. Typically, a restore is only needed after a drive rebuild or exchange.

The backup procedure does not record the setup information for Slots. The Slot setups must be manually recorded.

The admin user should perform a backup of the setups periodically (or whenever any user or setup changes are made) to ensure a current copy of the setups are available if needed.

Follow these steps to back up the MARS workstation setups:

1. Log in as admin user.

2. Click System on the workstation menu bar. The System pulldown menu appears.

3. Click System Setup. The System Setup pulldown menu appears.

4. Click Backup and Restore. The System Setup Backup/Restore Tool window appears.

5. Select Backup System Setups.

6. Click the Apply button. A confirmation window appears.

7. Insert the System Setup Backup diskette.

The backup procedure reformats the floppy diskette. This erases ALL the information on the diskette.

A separate backup diskette is required for each workstation, and included in each customer update kit.

8. Click Continue.

Locate or Create Backup Diskette

If your system is currently running version 4 or higher, and you are performing a full software rebuild to version 4 (or higher), a backup diskette of the current MARS software setups is needed.

■ If a current System Setup Backup Diskette already exists, locate

that diskette.

■ If no backup diskette exists, create one now per the following

procedures.

Back Up the Setups

Backup Procedure

The backup procedure does not record the setup information for Slots. The Slot setups must be manually recorded.

The admin user should perform a backup of the setups periodically (or whenever any user or setup changes are made) to ensure a current copy of the setups are available if needed.

Follow these steps to back up the MARS workstation setups:

1. Log in as admin user.

2. Click System on the workstation menu bar. The System pulldown menu appears.

3. Click System Setup. The System Setup pulldown menu appears.

4. Click Backup and Restore. The System Setup Backup/Restore Tool window appears.

5. Select Backup System Setups.

6. Click the Apply button. A confirmation window appears.

7. Insert the System Setup Backup diskette.

The backup procedure reformats the floppy diskette. This erases ALL the information on the diskette.

A separate backup diskette is required for each workstation, and included in each customer update kit.

Select Language and Locale

The locale you select on this screen becomes the default displayed on your desktop after you reboot the system. Selecting a locale determines how online information is displayed for a specific locale or region (for example, time, date, spelling, and monetary value.)

NOTE: The ASCII only portion gives you the default 128-character set that was available in previous releases. If you do not need to send/receive international correspondance where you need locale-specific alphabetic characters (like accented or umlaut characters) the ASCII only set is sufficient. Otherwise, use can select an ISO locale which contains a 256-character set. Selecting an ISO locale can cause minor performance degradation (in many cases, less than 5%)
