1.4 General Information

This document is valid only for:
n Cios Spin

 n

n
Cios Alpha beginning with System SW VA30
Cios Flow
n Cios Select beginning with System SW VA20

New security concept from VA30G onwards: a site-specific BIOS password is required. Be
sure to have the necessary site-specific password available before starting. Download the
password files from the CMDB or order it from the Licensing Center.

This document describes how to create and reinstall a recovery image of the system parti‐
tion on FLUOROSPOT Compact-based systems with the COBR (CO Backup Restore) tool.
An initial recovery image was created by the factory.
All the recovery images reside in:
Service (Z:] systembackups\BACKUP_JJJJMMDD_hhmmss - [Service (Z:) - Partition on
2nd HDD].
The recovery image has to be restored if a PC is replaced, the system HDD is replaced or
because of corrupted software.
A new recovery image must be generated in the following situations:
n Following a SW update (Update Instructions), whereby the system SW was changed.
n If the PC or primary HDD was replaced.
n After a service CD (e.g., MS Hot Fix) has been installed.
n Automatically after a failed remote update (RuH) (not for VA30B).
n Perform the following work steps prior to generating a new recovery image:
- Install the SW according to the appropriate UI.
- Restore the FL-C / System backup.
n Create a new recovery image according to the following pages.

1.6.3 Creating a Default Image Partition on the Primary HDD (System Disk) -
Optional

The following work steps need to be performed only if:

n the primary HDD (system disk)
or
the complete PC (including a new system disk)

n

was replaced.
Rebuilding the image partition does not need to be done if only a recovery image was
restored, e.g., due to corrupt software.
If rebuilding the image partition is done while an image partition still exists, all patient
images will be deleted without possibility of recovery!

n After restoring the recovery image, the image partition (D:\) needs to be created. This
can be achieved by using the FL-C SSW.

Please note that the following work step is required only after the system disk has been


replaced or the complete PC has been swapped!
The following work step is not required after a recovery image of the system partition is
restored.

- Log in to the service software.

- Start the FL-C SSW.
- Select <System> <System Settings>.
- Press the <Check Image Partition> button at the bottom left side on that page
( 1/Fig. 18 Page 19).
 A pop-up appears, Do you really want to check image partition?
- Confirm the pop-up with <Yes> ( 2/Fig. 18 Page 19).
 A default image partition (D:\) is created and the progress of that procedure can
be observed in the text box on that page.
n Existence of the created image partition must be verified as follows:
- Wait until the FL-C has rebooted and remains in the Patient List again.
- Log in to the service software.

- Start the FL-C SSW.

- Select <System> <System Settings>.
- Press the <Check Image Partition> button on the bottom left side of that page.
 A pop-up appears, Do you really want to check image partition?
- As a result of the check, it is expected that the image partition already exists
( Fig. 19 Page 19).
 Everything is fine. Nothing to do!
 After a few seconds, the pop-up will disappear automatically.

1.8 Preparing the 2nd HDD, Service Disk

The 2nd HDD (service disk) contains two partitions:
- COBR partition (Y:\, hidden)
- Service partition (Z:\)

The COBR partition is bootable and can be selected from the Boot menu.
It is the second device from top in the boot menu.
The Service partition serves as a storage medium for system backups and RUH packages.

The 2nd HDD is available as a spare part and it is blank if shipped from CS stock. There is a
menu item in FL-C SSW (bottom of System Settings page), called <Prepare 2nd HDD>.
Utilizing that functionality will prepare the 2nd HDD, including installing the COBR tool
and creating a default service partition (Z:\).
The disk capacity and material number of System HDD and 2nd HDD (Service Disk) are
identical. Hence there is only one material number that serves as a spare part for both the
system disk and 2nd HDD (Service Disk).

1.8.1 Preparing the Disk

From the FL-C SSW main menu:
n press the <System> button
- Select <System Settings> from the tree browser on the left.
- Press the <Prepare 2nd HDD> button at the bottom of that page
( 1/Fig. 20 Page 22).
- Confirm the pop-up Do you really want to prepare the 2nd HDD, all data will be
deleted? with <Yes>, ( 2/Fig. 20 Page 22).
 Preparation of 2nd HDD is done. Observe the text messages “Script finished
successfully” in the text box on that page ( 3/Fig. 20 Page 22).

n As a check, perform the following work steps:

- Start the FL-C SSW.
- Press the <System> button.
- From the System Settings screen, press the <Command Shell> button.
- In the command shell, type diskmgmt.msc.
 The Disk Management window appears.
- The four partitions on the two disks (Disk 0 - primary HDD and Disk 1 - secondary
HDD) are expected to appear as illustrated in ( Fig. 21 Page 23).

 Partition size (GB) of COBR and Service (Z:) may vary!

- Close all windows and return to the FL-C SSW. Everything is o.k.
