 NOTE
„ If you are using a PC laptop with a docking station, remove the laptop from the
docking station before you begin the installation.
„ If you are using a wireless network connection, remove the wireless network
card from the PC or PC laptop before you begin the installation.
„ If you are using a Dash Port 2 or Dash Docking Station, remove the Dash 3000/
4000 from the Dash Port 2 or Docking Station before you begin the installation.

Prepare for the Software Installation

WARNING
There is a temporary loss of monitoring functions throughout various parts
of the monitoring system until the install is complete on each monitor in the
system. Medical staff should be prepared to cover patients in need during
these periods of lost monitoring functions.

Before you begin the installation, inform an appropriate, responsible member of the
site’s staff that you are installing new software on the monitor(s) so they may take
appropriate action.

Do NOT download software while a monitor is connected to a patient.

Record Defaults and Enabled Software Options

1. Use the “Custom Defaults and Enabled Software Options Worksheet” on the
second to last page of these instructions and the “Monitor Defaults Worksheet”
from the “Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual” included in this
upgrade kit to record custom default settings, default monitor settings, and
enabled software options.
NOTE
If the monitor has a built-in writer or access to a network printer, you can
press the GRAPH GO/STOP key to print out the monitor defaults. Use the
“Custom Defaults and Enabled Software Options Worksheet” to navigate
to the default menus. Be careful as you scroll through the list of default
settings not to miss any. The lists are long and the monitor only prints the
items as displayed on the monitor screen.

Before you begin recording defaults, obtain a copy of the current Unit Defaults
from clinical or biomedical staff. If this information is not available, use the
factory defaults from the “Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor Operator’s
Manual.”

‹ “Appendix D - Factory Defaults - Adult-ICU Mode”

‹ “Appendix E - Factory Defaults - Neonatal-ICU Mode”
‹ “Appendix F - Factory Defaults - Operating Room Mode”

If there are only a few default changes, use the factory default sheets to record
the site’s custom defaults instead of the blank Monitor Defaults Worksheet.

You may want to make additional copies of the “Custom Defaults and Enabled
Software Options Worksheet” and “Monitor Defaults Worksheet” for each
monitor.

before you continue to the next step. This worksheet is located at the end of this
document.

Connect the Download Device

Follow the procedure for the installation configuration you will use to perform this
installation.

CAUTION
CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT TO AN AC POWER SOURCE — The

process. Do NOT use battery power during the install. A battery failure
during the install process may result in an update process failure.

If a failure occurs while any boot code components are loading, full or
partial monitoring capability is lost. The monitor is rendered useless and
requires service by a manufacturer technical support engineer.

PC Download

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE — Do not perform simultaneous downloads on
monitors networked on the Unity Network. Performing more than one
download at a time could cause an update process failure that damages
your monitor.

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (networked monitors) or crossover cable
(non-networked monitors) to the PC network card.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable or crossover cable.
‹ For networked monitors, connect the Ethernet cable to the Unity Network
(Ethernet) wall tap.

Defaults and Enabled Software Options Worksheet” and “Monitor Defaults”
worksheets. Or, refer to the defaults you printed out. Check the second table column
of the “Custom Defaults and Enabled Software Options Worksheet” for each default
when you complete your verification.

If any custom defaults are different, make the appropriate changes to restore the
default to the site’s preferred setting.

If you plan on transferring the defaults from one monitor to another, verify all the
monitor defaults on the master monitor. You only need to verify the active defaults
on the monitor(s) receiving the defaults.

Verify Enabled Software Options

After the installation is complete, verify the software version 2X, 3, or 4 Enabled
Software Options you recorded on the “Custom Defaults and Enabled Software
Options Worksheet” are still enabled.

Verify Crisis Alarm
