4 1 General information

1.1 General information

 To prevent missing data, the customer needs to manually store reports that have been
created as well as all other data on the H-drive prior to installing the update.

 For safety reasons, the customer needs to archive all images and raw data prior to instal‐
ling the upgrade.

1.1.1 Reason for the Update

n Release of new software version VB41
- For more information, refer to the Software Release Notes

1.1.2 Time for Upgrade

The upgrade will take approx 7 hours.

1.1.3 Prerequisites
n SOMARIS/5 VB30/VB39/VB40 is running.
n ICS & IES new service key and licenses for VB41.
n Customer has archived all images and raw data.
n For the configuration of Virtual Simulation software (VSim) you need support
from Siemens OCS CSE or the Applications Specialist and the Physicist.

1.1.4 Ordering Information

There are 2 Upgrade Kits available:
1. Software Upgrade Kit: includes the VB41 software
2. Soft- and Hardware Upgrade Kit: includes the VB41 software and an IRSmx2s

2.1 Preparations

2.1.1 General Information

This document describes the upgrade of Somaris/5 VB30/39/40 to VB41.

 For safety reasons, the customer needs to archive all images prior to installing the up‐
date.

 To prevent missing data, the CSE needs to manually store the postprocessing applica‐
tions data on the H-drive for the customer prior to installing the update.

The customer needs to archive all raw data prior to installing the update, because the
 data will definitely be deleted during the software installation of the IRS. The IRS soft‐
ware has to be installed completely (boot from CD/DVD).

To ensure successful installation of the software, ensure the following:

1. There must be no restart pending due to changes made in the configuration. Open
LocalService and go to Configuration. Check whether a "restart pending" is shown in the
message bar. If this is the case, click HOME to start the missing automatic restart.

 2. All applications (e.g. Explorer, Patient Browser) must be closed and stay closed during
the entire update unless requested in the instructions.
3. Walk through the instructions step by step and do not try to save time by working out
your own "update strategy". This is especially important when installing the IES. WAIT
when it asks you to wait until the ICS is ready.

It may be helpful and save time if the license file and all DICOM nodes are noted prior to
the update.


n Open Windows Explorer
n Search for C:\somaris\service\html\report\report.htm, right-click on the file and use
Send to... to save to a floppy
n Copy the file license.dat in folder C:\Somaris\Config\Licensing also to a floppy.

2.1.2 Required data

The Navigator and Wizard have to be switched on.
Read out the following configuration data and enter them in the fields provided. These
data will not be restored. Additionally, you can store the file report.htm.

Installing the new IRSmx2s

Transporting
Move the IRS on its pallet near its final installation location.

 Do not move the IRS over uneven sections of the floor. Vibrations can damage the IRS.

Unpacking the IRS

1. Remove all nails and fasteners with the pry bar if necessary.
2. Remove the top and sides of the wooden crate if necessary.

Checking for transport damage

After removing the transport crate, examine the IRS for transport damage, e.g., due to
moisture or external forces.

 In case of transport damage, inform the local project manager immediately.

Removing the IRS from the pallet

n Adhere to the instructions hanging from the side of the IRS.

Assembling the IRS at its installation location

The IRS is air-cooled by internal ventilators. Ensure unimpaired circulation from the in‐


take and outlet. For correct cooling, a minimum distance of 100 mm at the back and 150
mm at the front between the IRS and other objects is required!
Never put the IRS into a closed cabinet; otherwise, it will overheat!

 For the exact installation location, refer to the project plan or ask the on-site project
manager. The IRS can also be installed in a room adjacent to the examination room.

n For the installation, fold down the spacers at the back of the IRS. This is necessary to
maintain the minimum distance to the wall.
