(Intranet Link / Extranet Link). Check the NX 2008 Service Bulletins for a possibly
more recent Hotfix release.
2.2.3 DX-S or CR 30-X Digitizer Device Software
If the NX Workstation is connected to a DX-S or CR 30-X digitizer, the compatible

device software has to be downloaded from Mednet GSO library and installed on the
workstation.
(1) Refer to chapter 1 “HW/SW compatibility chart” (DD+DIS043.08E) to find the
compatible version number(s).
(2) Go to the Mednet GSO Library (Intranet Link / Extranet Link) to download one of
the following device software packages:
• GSO Library Æ Computed Radiography Æ CR Digitizers Æ DX-S Æ Freeware
• GSO Library Æ Computed Radiography Æ CR Digitizers Æ CR 30-X Æ
Freeware
2.2.4 X-ray Device Integration (XRDI) Software
Information on which version of XRDI software is released and how it can be obtained:
• In case of a Mammography system, refer to the Mammography Solution Manual
(DD+DIS227.04E).
• In case of a DX-Si system to the DX-Si System Documentation (DD+DIS032.06E).


2.3 Obtaining Application License File (ALF) (if needed)
IMPORTANT:
When performing a clean installation, the ALF should normally still be available and
can be used for the same software version after the clean install.
This is not the case if:
• The ALF got lost after a system crash:
o Fetch it from the Electronic License Management System (ELMS).
• You are upgrading a CR QS system:

You have two possibilities:
o Create it with the Simplified ELMS. In this case the Fingerprint File (FPF) has to
be created during the Clean Install (see section 3.10).
o Request it from the NSO.
Refer to the “Installation Instruction for Upgrade of QS to NX 2008”
(DD+DIS055.08E) for the information to be gathered to obtain the ALF.
INSTRUCTION:
For a detailed description of the procedures to obtain a License File (ALF) refer to the
Licensing Service Manual (DD+DIS012.06E) on MedNet GSO Library
(Intranet Link / Extranet Link).
3 Clean Install Procedure
3.1 Prerequisites
Check following items before you start the installation:
• Check hardware to see if it is supported for NX OS XP.

Install the NX only on machines that are on the supported HW list.
The list of supported hardware is specified in NX 2008 Service Manual, chapter 1
HW/SW Compatibility Chart (DD+DIS043.08E).
• Use the correct set of the Installation DVDs:
NX Starterkit DVD 1
NX Starterkit DVD 2


• Windows License Key:
For all installations you need to provide the Windows license key for the
operating system. This is often a ‘hologrammed’ sticker attached to the system
itself by the manufacturer. The key itself is referred to as the ‘Product ID’ and
has the form 5 characters in 5 blocks, for example:
HVYF3-T28PW-HWGKB-33J4W-B4VPM
• Network connected:
When installing, the NX PC must have a network connection.

The minimum is a connection to a hub so the system can ‘see’ a network
connection and another PC on the network.
The system can be connected to a larger network when installing, like the
hospital or company network, but be careful. If other NX systems are installing
at the same time, an IP conflict can occur.
• Change the keyboard to a QWERTY (US international) keyboard:
When you log on as administrator you will always have the English version of
Windows XP. Therefore it is easier working with a QWERTY keyboard
(US international) attached when you have to type something.
To configure the keyboard on the NX:

(1) Go to Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel Æ Regional Settings.
(2) Go to the tab Languages and click <Details>.
(3) Select English (US) as Default Input Language.
• BIOS Settings for DELL PCs:
(1) Enter the BIOS setup by pressing <F2> during booting.

(2) Make sure that the boot sequence in the BIOS features the hard drive (HD)
before the CD/DVD drive.
(3) Set ATA/SATA mode:
o For machines that use serial ATA drives you can find a BIOS option to
set the ATA mode. Here you can choose normal or combined. Make
sure to set this setting to ‘combined’.
o For Dell 745: SATA operation to be set to ‘Legacy’.
o For Dell 755: SATA operation to be set to 'RAID/Autodetect/ATA'.
(4) Activate SMART Reporting: Set <Drives\SMART Reporting> to <ON>.


(5) Deactivate Hyper-threading (not applicable for multiple core CPUs): Select
<Performance\Hyper-Threading> and set to <Off>.
(6) Activate Multiple CPU core (only applicable for multiple core CPUs (e.g.
Dell D830 and Dell Optiplex 755)): Set <Multiple CPU core> to <ON>.
(7) Exit with <ESC> and save the changes.
• BIOS Settings for HP PCs:

(2) Make sure that the boot sequence in the BIOS features the hard drive (HD)
before the CD/DVD drive.
(3) Set Storage Options: SATA emulation to be set to 'IDE'.
(4) Go to File Æ Save Changes & Exit, press <Enter> and accept with
<F10>.
IMPORTANT:
For both, Installation and Configuration, have your Acceptance Test Protocol document
at hand and fill it in on-the-fly at every installation and configuration step instead of
filling it in afterwards. This saves a lot of time.
The document is available on MedNet GSO library (Intranet Link / Extranet Link).
3.2 Installing the Operating System (OS)
IMPORTANT:
Installing the OS leads to a removal of all available data on the complete hard disk,
including all existing partitions!
(1) Insert the NX Starterkit DVD 2.

(2) Reboot the PC and
• on a DELL PC: press <F12> during the boot sequence (custom boot).
• on a HP PC: press <F9> during the boot sequence (custom boot).
(3) Select to boot from CD-ROM and press <Enter>.


(4) Confirm the installation by pressing <Y>.

IMPORTANT:
Perform the next two steps only on a DELL 755 system. Also perform them
if you are installing a DELL 755 system without RAID!
(8) Set ATA/SATA mode to 'RAID ON'.
IMPORTANT:
Perform the next two steps only on a HP system. Also perform them if you
are installing an HP system without RAID!
(10) Set Storage Options/SATA emulation to 'RAID'.
(11) From now on the installation is unattended. Your presence is no longer required
until you are prompted to log in.


REQUIRED TIME OF UNATTENDED INSTALLATION:

Approx. 60 min.
IMPORTANT:
Don’t click anything until you get the log on screen described below in item 7. It could
interrupt the installation.
The unattended installation consists of the Norton Ghost Restore Procedure, the
Windows XP Setup and post-installation customization.
• Norton Ghost Restore Procedure:
A progress bar indicates the progress of the restore procedure. The PC will
automatically reboot afterwards.
• Windows XP Setup:
During the installation you’ll see a lot of screens of the Windows XP Setup.
Don’t worry, the installation runs in the background.
• Post-installation customization:
Automatic scripts run once the Windows XP Setup process has completed. Wait
until you see the log on screen. Do not interrupt these scripts.
(5) After the unattended installation and the final reboot the log on screen is
displayed. Press <Ctrl-Alt-delete> and log in using Administrator account:

figure 8
(8) Remove the NX Starterkit DVD 2 from the disk drive.
Result Here ends the Operating System installation. It is now necessary to carry out
some system configuration.


3.3 Performing additional Partitioning
REQUIRED TIME:
Approx. 5 min.
The operating system has now been installed on the System & Configuration partition
(drive letter C:).
For NX we need to define 1 more partition (Data & Backup partition) with
following parameters:
• If possible create the partition on a second hard drive.
• Drive letter: D:
• Volume Label: DATA
• Size: 160 GB
NOTE:
The screenshots below are made on a two hard disk system. If the platform contains
only one harddisk, the previous OS installation step has allocated 25 Gbyte of the first
hard disk found for the C: partition (applicable from XOS 1.0.18 on). The D: partition
has be made manually!
IMPORTANT:
RAID: If the system contains a second harddisk for RAID mirroring, do NOT create
partitions on the second disk.
To create a new partition, perform the following steps:
(1) Right-click ”My Computer” and select “Manage” from the menu:
figure 9


(2) In the Computer Management window, select “Disk Management”:
figure 10 – Example – The disc sizes may differ on your system.
NOTE:
In case of reuse of CR QS hardware, there is still the old CR QS D: and E:
partition. Delete both partitions.
(3) Right-click an unallocated disk partition.

(4) Select ”New Partition” from the menu.
(5) Click <Next> in the welcome window:
figure 11


(6) Select “Primary Partition” and click <Next>:
figure 12
(7) If the size of the harddisk allows it, set the partition size to 160000. Otherwise
select less. It is not advised to choose a value higher than 160000.
NOTE:
• There might be more disk space available. Anyway, the partition D: should be
limited to 160 GB and partition C: to 25 GB. Those are the capacities that the
software has been tested and verified with.
• Excessive disk space can be used to create an extra partition for
backup purposes.
• When using a laptop platform (e.g. Dell Latitude D830), it may have insufficient
disk space to allocate 160 GB for the second partition. Allocate the full remaining
size to the second partition.
(8) After entering the parition size click <Next>:
figure 13


(9) Choose the drive letter D: and click <Next>.
figure 14
(10) Enter following settings:

• Choose the partition formatting.
• Fill in the appropriate Volume Label DATA.
• check “Perform a quick format”, uncheck “Enable file and folder
compression”:
figure 15
(11) Click <Next>.

(12) Click <Finish> in the summary window to create the partition:
