1.1.3 Prerequisites
n SOMARIS/5 VB30B is running
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.
The administrator password to configure SOMATOM Life and the site-specific password
to access the Extranet can be found in the CS Knowledge Base (login required). If you do
not have access to the Knowledge Base, call your USC.
2.1 Preparations
For safety reasons, the customer needs to archive all images prior to installing the up‐
date.
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).
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 Wizard.
WAIT when it asks you to wait until the Navigator 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.

If the checkboxes differ, an error message is displayed --> SRS will not work in VB39, SRS
troubleshooting is required after the update.
A SRS troubleshooting description is added at the end of this document. You may read it
during the update to speed up SRS troubleshooting after the update.

Otherwise hand over the expert-i CD to the customer and provide the following (if ap‐
plicable):
- IP address of the CTWP
- Host name of the CTWP
