Okay, so I thought I would give a quick video on how to turn all this stuff on. I wrote something
on the procedures for starting this up but I figured I'd do a video also. So the ECG is here. These
are the monitors for the central station and this back here is the second power supply it's
a Tripp-Lite. And in the server rack itself have the APC UPS telemetry unit, the central
server. or a central station server. and then the network switch which is connecting everything
else together. So to start all this stuff up first you want to start off with the
Tripp-Lite, just hold the button down, the power button, until it beeps and it makes that relay click and
some of the devices will receive power now but now you want to move on to the second UPS which
was this one here the APC. You just want to press the power button and it will start a few things up,
It's directly connected to the switch so that will start up immediately when this starts putting power
out. This will start doing an inverter test pretty soon. Yeah, that's normal and last a few seconds.
It kind of makes it growling, buzzing noise which is normal at this point you can start powering up the
systems from the bottom up so start with the telemetry unit. You're gonna press the power button. You'll hear
the fan start up and then there's not any kind of communicator on this there's no screen or LEDs or
anything to know when it's actually been booted and all that so you can just go ahead and start
a Central Station just to power button. It'll beep 50 times. You'll see some of the things come online on
the switch. The screens will start showing some information pretty soon. And now you can turn on
the ECGs. And you just press the power on each one of these you'll see the screen flicker. At
this point you could also turn on, or the put the batteries rather into the telemetry transmitter.
So it will start up and go back to its main page and I'll continue this video once everything's starting up
and show you how to shut it all down. Alright now that everything has started up, everything's turned
on, ECGs are talking to the Central Station, it's trying to pass data. So now let's turn it
off. It's sort of the reverse process as before. You want to start with the Central Station. The Central
Station is ane mbedded Windows Server so if you want to shut this down properly you don't
want it full power out of it. So just want to go to set up. You want authenticate as the biomed user.
And once you're authenticated you want to go down to system and then you want to hit shut
down system. It will ask a few who actually want shut down, you say yes, and it'll start doing a shutdown.
It'll take a minute or so for the shutdown. You don't want to force it to shut down unless it's
frozen. I'm talking like it's on the screen for like 10 minutes then you want to shut it down either by
holding the power button down until it shuts off or taking the power out on the back of it but it
should otherwise shut down like this normally. Next up on the list is the telemetry unit and
you just want to hold button down. There's no, like I said, there's no indicator on here
so you just want to hold button down until the fan turns off, where you see the switch lights turn off.
So, the fans off on this now so now both the Central Station and the telemetry unit are off and at this point
you want to actually turn off the ECGs. The ECGs you can turn them off whenever if you have something
running on the ECG like the simulator probably shut down that ECGs first before you, I guess it
doesn't really matter, it's gonna sound an alarm. Either way, but whichever wayy you can turn
them off, whenever. Either these will show up in saying there's a network error or the Central
Station will say that it's lost connection. So hold the button down, power button until
that little bar fills up and they'll shut off and you'll hear a little speaker click. So now resuming
where we were. To turn this off a little bit more tricky but it's it's fairly straightforward you
just press the power button and it asks you if you want to turn the UPS off. Use the up and down
arrow keys to select yes and I hit the Return button just arrow right here. It'll ask if you
want to use a delay if you want to turn it off you don't really need delay so just use it up
and down or the down arrow key to select no delay and press return. Now it will shut off. And finally
this will turn off yeah so now this is off and then you can press and hold this until it beeps
really clicks and it turns off. So now everything is powered off mostly. Important thing to keep in
mind with UPS systems no matter which kind they are -- a lot of them still have live ports even when
they're shut off so this one I don't believe has any live ports I think all these are dead this one
I believe does have live ports because only some of them are surge protected some of them go to
the battery. Better safe than sorry. Assume they're all live and so you can verify that they're not
or just disconnect whatever you're gonna work on. Like this one you can see it's still getting
power even though both of those are off so I think it's this row is still live it's just being surge
protected. But that's about it for starting everything up and shutting everything down
