Auto Power Reset
When a power outage occurs, the power switch on the back of the PC box must be pushed to turn
the unit back on. In a hospital with multiple auxiliary cabinets, this is an unmanageable situation.
To solve the problem, change the dip-switch setting on the internal power/communication board
so the unit automatically turns on when the power is restored. The new settings should be a
production default in the future.
Caution: Cabinets that have the new dip switch settings must be unplugged before doing maintenance as
the power switch will no longer turn off the power. A warning sticker for this situation should be placed on the
cabinet in manufacturing.
1. Open the PC box.
2. Change dip switches 1 and 2 on the power/communication board to On.
4. Apply label 65-8035 near the power switch to indicate that the unit has been modified. The
label warns: to turn the unit off, the power cord needs to be unplugged from the wall AC
outlet.
If power problems continue to occur, these cabinets should be placed on an external UPS unit.
The 1-, 2-, 3-Cell OmniSupplier cabinet has a metal frame which houses the switchpanel control
boards (SPC boards) and many of the cables that connect the components of the system. The
frame is not field repairable and must be replaced if it is damaged. The wireway on the right side
of any cabinet in a 1-, 2-, or 3-cell OmniSupplier is removable and the SPC boards contained on
the wireways are also replaceable.
In the following procedure, references are made to removing specific modules such as the 9drawer carrier and the OmniDispenser. These portions of the procedure are not intended to show
how to completely remove a particular module, but to show the least amount of work that is
required to get the wireway free from the cabinet frame.
This chapter provides removal procedures. Installation can be done by performing the appropriate
removal procedure in reverse order.

Pull-out Shelf
A pull-out shelf is designed to increase the accessibility of items located at the rear of a cabinet
shelf. The shelf is mounted on rails and can be pulled out from the cabinet. The pull-out shelf is a
product option that must be purchased separately and does not come as a standard feature.
A pull-out shelf should never be installed in the top 1/3 of a cell
1. Perform a graceful shutdown of the CT PC box.
2. Open the door in the zone where the pull-out shelf will be located.
3. If a standard shelf already exists in the location planned for the pull-out shelf, remove the

Switchpanels are located in four places on Omnicell units: on a shelf, in a supply drawer or pullout shelf, on a suture rack and on a catheter rack. The switchpanels, commonly referred to as
button bars, are used to aid in the identification of specific items in a dispenser unit. When a user
selects an item from the dispenser unit, the LEDs on the switchpanel light up and indicate the
location of the product.
The switchpanels can be removed and relocated with the corresponding shelf, drawer or rack and
can be re-used from one shelf to another similar shelf or from one drawer to another drawer.
However, a switchpanel cannot be moved from a shelf to a catheter rack or from a drawer to a
shelf. Each switchpanel is designed to work with one storage type only.
This chapter provides the removal procedure. Installation can be done by performing the removal
procedure in reverse order.

Introduction
Tools list
The following tools are required to install the CT PC Box:
There are a variety of drawers available for the 1-, 2-, and 3-cell cabinets. Each drawer type offers a
different level of control for storing and tracking medications and pharmacy supplies.
The supply drawer is the lowest security drawer available. It is typically used to store items that are
frequently used and require little security. The drawer is custom configured using individual
dividers and has a 24-line maximum capacity.
The Omnicell Matrix Drawer (OMD) models are matrix drawers without lids that are configured
by using individual dividers. Drawer liners are used to configure matrix drawers to the required
number of bins. The matrix drawers can be lit with guiding light technology (OLMD) or can come
unlit (OMD).
The lit matrix drawers are configurable up to a maximum of 24 bins and the unlit matrix drawer is
configurable up to a maximum of 96 bins. The drawers are separated into four equal quadrants. In
the unlit drawers, each quadrant can contain a maximum of 24 bins. In the lit matrix drawer, each
quadrant can contain a maximum of six bins.
The Omnicell Sensing Lid (OSL) models have sensing lids. As each lid is lifted, the system senses
and records access to the bin. This guarantees security to those drawers that contain controlled
substances.
The Omnicell Locking Lid (OLL) models are the highest security drawer available. When these
high security drawers are opened, the user can only access the one bin containing the pre-selected
medication. No other bin is unlocked when the user is working in the desired bin. Special censors
provide audible and visual feedback if users attempt unauthorized entry into bins that are not preselected.
Drawers 7-1
Introduction
Tools List
The following tools may be required to install a drawer:
Each unlit matrix drawer can contain a maximum of 96 bins (24 in each quadrant). Customers
can utilize the flexibility of this drawer and customize it to meet specific needs and requirements
for the site. As with other matrix drawers, the dividers are designed to be snapped off, enabling the
bins to be custom-configured to fit site-specific needs.
Figure 7-1. Matrix drawer dividers
Note:
Dividers must be placed into the drawer in a specific order with each divider in a specific slot, so
separating the dividers by part number is recommended.
1. Make sure that the layout of each drawer has been approved by the customer before installing
the dividers.
Note: It is recommended that a drawing be made of each drawer, showing the customer’s preferred
configuration for each quadrant of a given drawer.
2. Break the divider tabs according to the customer design and trim away excess plastic to ensure
a snug fit in the drawer.
3. Add the dividers to the bin liner. The dividers should snap into the bottom of the drawer and
the sides of each bin liner quadrant.
4. Use the gray circular labels provided with the kit to cover any un-used divider slots in the bin
liner.

the sides of each bin liner quadrant.
4. Use the gray circular labels provided with the kit to cover any un-used divider slots in the bin
liner.
5. Insert the light pipes into each notch provided in the dividers. The light pipe is installed on the
rear side of the bin divider and snaps into a slot on the bottom of the bin liner.
Note: Be sure to place a light pipe into every notch, even if the position will not be used for guiding light
purposes. The pipes provide support and help keep the dividers in place.
Numerical bin labels are provided with matrix drawers to make bin identification and restock
easier for the customer.
The bottom of the bin liner on any matrix drawer is numbered according to its type (i.e. 1-96, 124, 1-4). These numbers are used to identify bin locations for the drawer. The drawer will be
numbered by using the lowest number in a specific bin.
In the following example, the bin in the lower right corner of the drawer would be Bin 7, the bin in
the upper left corner would be Bin 49, and the bin in the upper right corner would be Bin 85.
Figure 7-3. Matrix Drawer labeling System
Once a bin has been configured, label the bin divider to correspond with the bin name corner. and
affix the label to the top of the right rear divider of that bin.
When replacing a drawer, reset the drawer address before performing the replacement. See “Resetting
Drawer Addresses” on page 7-17.
