Troubleshooting Flow Charts
The diagnostics flow chart series provide a guide to troubleshooting a malfunctioning

CV70.
The Component Designations section of this manual provides a table called Subsystem
and Component Designations that identifies the acronyms used in this chapter to identify
devices.
Refer to the following chapters in this manual for additional information:
System Architecture
Component Designations
Configuring a Remote Network Export Device
Configuring DICOM
Software Option Keys
FRU Removal and Replacement Procedures
WARNING
The CV70 contains hazardous voltages that can range from 90

VAC to 264 VAC. These voltages can cause serious injury or death.
Only authorized service personnel are permitted to
remove protective covers and access the energized components of this system.
The system-troubleshooting flow chart is designed as a closed loop. The main flow chart
branches to secondary flow charts, each of which returns to the main flow chart for continued troubleshooting. With this method, fault conditions involving more than one error may
be resolved. The flow chart is not intended to resolve all possible fault conditions; it is
designed to resolve 80% of typical field situations.
Using the Flow Chart
Always start at the top and check each item in the Check column. The chart on the next
page provides details for each Check item. Example: The system does not boot correctly.
Do not go directly to the Boot-up flow chart. First confirm power by checking the LED on
the Host Module OEM Sub Panel. If this LED is OK, and the monitor LED is on, then proceed to the Boot-up flow chart. When the Boot-up flow chart tasks are complete, then
confirm the remaining items.

Diagnostic LED Indicators
Several groups of diagnostic LED indicators are provided; these indicate system or component status.
System Status
Diagnostic light emitting diodes (LEDs), located on the side of the host module, provide
indications of the boot progress, the system status, and some subsystem failures. The
legend shown (Fig. 11 / p. 15) depicts the LED status for the Off (extinguished), On (illuminated), and flashing (On-Off) conditions.
In the Component Designations section of this manual provides a table called Subsystem and Component Designations that identifies the acronyms used to identify
devices.
Fig. 11: LED Legend
The status of the LEDs as they are progressively extinguished during the boot sequence
are shown in (Fig. 12 / p. 16). The LED status after the boot sequence completes for systems with and without the DIMAQ-IP module connected, are shown in (Tab. 1 / p. 17).
NOTE
The LED designated with the V character represents the 5V supply.

This LED illuminates when 5V power is available.
The RTC LED indicates the operation of the real-time clock.
The Windows 2000 operating system in the DIMAQ-IP boots during
the sequence shown in (Fig. 12 / p. 16).

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the DIMAQ-IP
Use the following instructions to troubleshoot the DIMAQ-IP.
Review Switch Failure
If the DIMAQ-IP screen does not display when the Review button is selected, use the following instructions to troubleshoot the failure.
1. Verify that a patient name and ID number are entered.
2. Verify that HDD is selected (not MOD) for Storage on the Preset Menu.
3. Access DIMAQ-IP through the Service Menu by selecting the DIMAQ-IP Maintenance
button; a blank screen indicates a DIMAQ-IP failure.
- If the trackball and the Set buttons operate properly, the DIMAQ-IP software and
Windows are running, but applications are not active.
- Loss of the trackball control indicates the loss of the internal Ethernet communication.
- Restart the DIMAQ-IP by rebooting Windows 2000 (Start Restart).
- Observe the screen during the reboot to detect HDD error messages.
- If errors are detected, run the Scan Disk application from the Start Programs
Accessories System Tools Scan Disk menu item.
- If no errors are detected on the HDD, reboot the system.
4. If DIMAQ-IP still does not function properly, reload the DIMAQ-IP software.
Corrupt Images and Clips
If corrupt images or clips display after pressing Review, the following failures can be the
cause.
1. New images or clips produced by real-time scanning are corrupt, but images loaded
from studies on the HDD or from a CD are not corrupt.
Corruption of ultrasound images is caused by a failure in the host module or the failure
of the image transfer path (serial). Inspect and test the host module and the serial path;
replace the host module if necessary.
2. New images from real-time scanning are not corrupt, but images recalled from the HDD
or from a CD are corrupt.
The corruption of images loaded from the HDD or a CD is caused by the DIMAQ-IP
software or by the CD-R/RW drive software. Reload the DIMAQ-IP software to resolve
the problem.

SRAM Memory Clear
Overview
Background
This procedure is valid for use with systems at software versions below 2.0. Battery-backed SRAM memory may become corrupt after an unexpected power loss during
system operation. If this happens, the following may occur:
The system may not power back up to imaging.

The system may display errors or display the message No System. Insert System Disk.
Reloading system software may not be possible without first clearing battery-backed
SRAM. When the problem occurs the Unknown file error messages are typically displayed before and after software reload attempts.
Purpose
This procedure describes how to clear the battery-backed SRAM so that the software can
be reloaded. Two methods are provided: a software solution (recommended) and a hardware solution.
Software Solution - This method uses the Memory Repair Disk to clear SRAM memory
and is the most effective and recommended method.
Hardware Solution - This method removes battery power from the SRAM in the Host
module to clear the memory and is provided as a alternate to the recommended software method above.
CAUTION
Clearing SRAM memory clears system Software Option Keys,

QuickSets, Preset data, and Service data.
Obtain the Option Key MO disks and the Preset MO disk
to restore the system to the previous operating condition. If Preset data, Service data, and QuickSets were not
previously backed up to the Preset MO disk, manually
reconfigured the system to customer preference. Clearing SRAM memory should not effect exam data stored on
the DIMAQ-IP hard drive.
CAUTION
Reloading DIMAQ-IP software overwrites all data on the DIMAQ-IP

hard drive.
Therefore, before reloading DIMAQ-IP software, customer data on the DIMAQ-IP hard drive that must be
maintained should be backed up to CD.
