8.7 - Hard Drive Interface Controller PDF
The IMS2760 Digital System " F R O M 03/28/96 serial 2016 C - A R M " includes the industrial standard Intelligent
Drive Electronics (IDE/ATA) digital disk interface. IMS only uses the I D E / A T A hard drive, and floppy
interfaces as of this date. With some configurations a drive controller Vesa Local Bus will be needed.
The IDE interface includes a 16 or 32 bit, bi-directional buffer. The floppy disk drive controller interface
supports the 1.44M 3 1/2" micro floppy disk, which is used for service troubleshooting and copping images to a
" B M P " file format.
NOTE: IDE/ATA drives are pre-formatted at the factory. Do not attempt to use AT diagnostics to perform a
low-level format, it cannot provide 1:1 interleave, and some IDE drives do not support low level format with
diagnostics. If you find it necessary to perform a low-level format due to image or data return failures, return
the drive to IMS for repair or reformatting.
We may use several types of controllers in the 1MS2760 Digital system. However it is important which type is
in our system. It must support a high speed main bus C L K of grater than 10 Mhz and be fully I D E / A T A , Mode 4 ,
PCI compatible.
NOTE: The IDE controller is located on the main CPU board with IMS2760 DSA/CINE system. The IDE
controller is a PCI bus device and is directly linked with the Pentium processor therefore the need for a sperate
controller is not needed. All systems with a pentium processor will require the BIOS set to IDE mode 4
operation.
Note: When Replacing the Hard Drive all Patient data files and image files will he lost and can not he
retrieved as they are part of the Drive that has been removed.
Note: Although offset/gain values are set at the factory, adjustment may be required due to subsequent field
adjustments, user preferences, etc.
The I D E / A T A drive used in the IMS2760 Digital system is listed below with storage capabilities, type, sector
values, heads, etc for the drive. This information is necessary for reconfiguration of the C P U BIOS
Configuration tables.
NOTE: FOR SYSTEM OPERATION UNDER CONTROL OF THE IMS2760 5000 MB IS USED IF DSA, CINE
4F/SEC OPTION WAS NOT PURCHASED
This drives are high G shock rated, with retractable self locking read write heads. The run shock rating is
> lOG's. Power off rating is > 60 to 70G's.
NOTE: Each system is ordered with a set image file size i.e., 16, 320 frame, or 320 frames + 250 frames with 2F/
sec Chole option or 500 frames with 4F/Sec Dynamic Disk Drive Software support. The system software looks at
the IMS2760.EXE file for size and Patient Data and limits image storage to the maximum value i n the program
software.
IMAGE FILE A R E A = 500- 800 megabytes (non DOS partition = 001-320 Max Image storage, CINE 250-500).
C: = IMS2000 <DIR> This is the operational software, Patients.Dat file and image tracking, also includes the

NOTE:
THE PATIENTS.DAT, CINE.DAT, IMAGES.DAT, DATETIME.DAT, AND SYSVARS.DAT TILES ARE
CREATED BY THE PROGRAM IF THEY ARE NOT DETECTED LN THE IMS2000 DIRECTORY OF THE HARD
DRIVE. HOWEVER IF THE SYSTEM FAILS TO READ THESE AND CREATES NEW FILES THE PATIENTS
PREVIOUS IMAGES WILL BE LOST.

H A R D DRIVE TYPES
System BIOS CMOS configuration will require this information to properly control the hard drive.
Partition information:
The Hard Drive for theIMS2760 Digital System will only have a 10 Megabyte DOS partition. The 10MB area
is also formatted to allow the system to boot with the IMS2760 software. C: drive must have an active
partition for self booting of the hard drive.
Flowchart
The image storage area is addressed by cylinder, sector, and track. This allows for controlled image storage and
lower overhead in the store times needed for Image Page Display (16 images on monitor at once). See Example 2
With C H O L A N G I O G R A M or the 2 Frame/Sec option the second hard drive if ordered is not partitioned or
formatted. The system software will control by sector and track the placement of the images. The data files are
on the C:> hard drive i n the " C : IMS2760 <DIR>" with the file name " C I N E . D A T " .
