MO Disk Drive Maintenance

To maintain the performance and reliability of the MO disk drive and MO disks,
keep the following points in mind:
Do not eject the MO disk when the drive is in the busy state (green light illumi-
nated). The data may be destroyed or trouble may result in the drive.
Do not use force to insert the MO disk into the drive.
Do not use force to manually eject the MO disk.
Do not use excessive pressure on the MO disk.
Do not use the MO disk under the following conditions:
— where exposure to direct sunlight is present
— sharp temperature changes
— high humidity
Do not use the MO disk in a dusty or smoky environment.
Do not open the shutter or touch the MO disk surface.
NOTE: Always remove the MO disk from the MO drive when transporting the
Cypress system.

Hard Drive Maintenance

The Cypress system's internal hard drive should not be used for long-term stor-
age of studies and patient information. Remove data from the internal hard drive
on a regular basis (daily or weekly).
Storage information is displayed on the Patient page in the bottom right corner.
A "Low Storage" warning will appear when "Free" storage falls to 600 Mb. When
you see this warning, transfer studies to a permanent storage media and then
remove studies from the Cypress system's hard drive.
If "Free" storage reaches zero, new patient studies can no longer be added and
old studies cannot be reviewed. You should immediately transfer studies to a
permanent storage media and then remove studies from the Cypress system's
hard drive.
When the "Free" storage reaches 1000 Mb, the Cypress system will automati-
cally compact the study data.
