Update installed, will automatically default to the desktop view when the computer starts
and restarts.

Advanced Service Installation

If your system has 2 hard drives that will be partitioned for Image Suite, partitioning
must be done before you install the Image Suite V4 Software. Use the Partition Tool
application on the Image Suite DVD to partition. See the Specifications for the Image
Suite System, 9J0794 for partitioning information.

If your system includes the Classic CR System with the easy view display, you must have
an external Network Interface Card (NIC) installed for the hospital network.
The Classic CR with the easy view display will connect to the motherboard network
interface connection. See Connect to the Hospital Network under the
Help Topics for additional setup information.

If your system is connecting to the DRX System, you will need to set up the IP address
and rename the network adapter after the Image Suite software is installed. See the
Installation and Configuration for the Detector Interface Package, 6K7917.
