To update the BIOS for operating system installation

the "Select Program" screen, press the blue CDX key on the keyboard (see Figure 71).
CDX mode will be displayed.
2. Press the Ctrl + Fn Lock + Z keys simultaneously to restart the CDX system.
3. Press the DEL key when prompted as the CDX system computer boots up.
4. Next, go to the "Advanced BIOS Features" screen.
5. Specify the first boot device to be as required.
6. Once the boot order has been set, save the changes and restart the system to begin the
installation process.

Installing MIS software on the CDX PC

After the operating system has been installed, the MIS software may be set up in a manner
similar to a PC.

Data Storage

Data storage is on a removable Compact Flash (CF) card holding at least 4GByte of data.
The CF card appears as a standard hard drive to the CDX PC.
Note: CF cards are flash based storage and a wear out mechanism exists. CF cards contain
internal features to wear level the writing to avoid premature failure. However, it would be
advisable to keep writing to a minimum. Writing 5 Gbytes or less per day should not present
a problem.
Also note that the 2008T hemodialysis machine may be powered off at any time. There is no
requirement that the user do a PC shutdown before power is removed. Because of this, it is
recommended that the operating system implemented be tolerant to this situation, or the
operator should be instructed to shut down the operating system before shutting off power.
The use of a read only operating system is recommended if the user will not shut down the
operating system.
