Introduction
Introduction The MSM User Guide is designed to help the CE navigate the Manufacturing, Service, and Marketing (MSM) software interface. This guide defines navigation and descriptive elements of the interface, and provides information on Access and Security Levels, Configuration Management, Operational Procedures, Hardware Diagnostics and Error Management, with reference tables, and reference documents to aid in troubleshooting. The User Guide addresses two software levels which are currently in the field. If a function is unique to a particular system software level, it is noted in parentheses. Action commands such as PRIOR, OK, C ANCEL , DELETE , have different locations depending on the software level. They may reside in either the main MSM window or the softkey window. Also, informational screens are dismissed using the OK softkey in software revision 5.0 and greater.
ry a t MSM is organized into levels, with progressively rie e more functionality at each level. p ro c a t P i on upl s d u Ac not Do NOTE: In order to understand all the topics described below, read the entire document.

Hardware Diagnostics Test Suites
DIAGNOSTICS SERVICE AT 5.0
Level Test Suites cover 100% of all the diagnostics available. They are arranged by coverage and tests most likely to fail. They are based on information compiled by diagnostic engineering. The tests must be run in a particular sequence in order to provide the proper voting. On completion of the suite, any failed tests are displayed, along with these additional statistics: Passed Tests, Failed Tests, Notrun Tests (tests that are dependent on system configuration and board revision levels), and SysFail (the number of tests that could not be run due to hardware failures involved in the testing).
ry a t ri e e p ro c a t P i on upl s d u Ac not Do
• Level 1 (Run this suite first) Covers 90% of tests most likely to fail. Test duration is 11 minutes. • Level 2 (Run only a fter Level 1) Covers an additional 5% of tests less likely to fail. Test duration is 20 minutes. • Level 3 (Run only after Level 1 & 2) Covers remaining tests available. These are least likely to fail. Test duration is 40 minutes. • Overnight (Loop of leve l 1,2,3) Level 1, 2, and 3 suites are run continuously up to 200 loops. WARNING! This test could fill the hard disk.
The next suite of tests is arranged by system functionality and tests major processes of the system. These tests provide additional diagnostic information in conjunction with Levels 1, 2, and 3. Note: EST stands for Expert System Test. • Beamformer BEST (MX, RX, TX, CN, CSD) Tests primarily the front end of the system • Processor PEST (BDM, CN, RDP) Tests primarily the processor and the scan conversion section of the system. • Video IO VEST (IOV, PIC, IOE) Tests the ethernet, scsi, image compression and I/O section of the system. Specific Tests
Specifies and loops single or multiple tests, usually to detect intermittent failures. Multiple testsnames or suites be specified and initiated. When typing in test names, separate test withcan a space. • Test Name Designates test numbers or names to be run or looped by name. Must use the complete name or numeric with NO spaces within the name or numeric. (e.g., 1020 1021). Page 16 of 66

ACUSONCONFIDENTIAL
Con fi gu rati on M anagement The system architecture is designed to electronically manage the hardware and software configuration. The system automatically maintains its configuration, using information stored on the boards, BBRAM, and hard drive. NOTE: Do not replace the RDP and HD, or the PIC and HD, at the same time. If this is done, it may require Acuson HelpDesk support.
4.1
Boards Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs or boards) in the chassis maintain their own configuration information in EEPROMs. Although most of this information is read electronically, some items (i.e., Monitor, Main PS, PPS, etc.) require manual entry or updating from MSM. The EEPROMs contain the following:
ry a t ri e e p ro c a t P i on upl s d u Ac not o Batt ery Back ed RAMD (BB RAM)
Hardware Configuration - board part number, serial number, revision level. Board-specific software - used during hardware initialization and boot up. The PIC board also contains the system serial number.
4.2
The BBRAM contains machine-specific boot and configuration information, and files created by Power Up Tests, Harmony, and other applications or utilities. It is split into two locations, BBRAM0 and BBRAM1. •
BBRAM0 BBRAM0 contains system configuration data, which is set initially by the Sequoia configuration application. If there is a configuration inconsistency, resetting BBRAM0 forces the configuration to restore default settings. Then, RESTORE SYSTEM DATA from MO must be used to reinstall the correct configuration database. Item

The system uses specific events to trigger changes or updates to the configuration. The following are examples of how the system manages three typical scenarios: software installation, board replacement, and file restore. •
The hard drive is reformatted and all files are lost, including the configuration database.
A new configuration database is initialized, hardware is queried for board configuration, and changes to the configuration database are loaded to the hard drive. BBRAM values are read and stored in the configuration database. The revision of boot code on each board is compared to a hard drive file defined by the software loaded during installation. Any board with a revision of boot code differing from that on the hard drive is updated with the new revision.

• A covers off event is reported to the system.
• The system automatically updates the configuration database with new board information (part number, serial number, revision). However, the FPP, AUX, and FIZ boards do not reside in the card cage.
• The revision of boot code on each board is compared to the files on the hard drive. Any board with a lower revision of boot code than that on the hard drive is updated with the new revision.
NOTE: Do not replace the hard drive and PIC board at the same time. When the hard drive is replaced, a software installation must be done before booting to SUI or Imaging. Auto Configuration follows the rules of software installation. If the hard drive and PIC are replaced at the same time, the HelpDesk must restore the system through a remote connection.
•
File Restore When configuration files are restored, the following events also occur: • The new database on the MO is verified for correct format and the system’s ability to parse it. If this step fails, the restore is aborted. • Hardware is queried for board configuration and loaded into the configuration database on the hard drive. BBRAM values are read and stored into the configuration database.

This can be done in two ways: • Restoring a feature control database from a Feature Control MO. The MO is built by manufacturing per the customer order, and is supplied as part of an option upgrade. • Manually entering a Key in the Feature Control Tool at the User level.
NOTE: It is extremely important to maintain backups of the System data file. A backup contains the feature control set installed on the system. Backups must be updated each time changes are made to the feature control set. If a system problem occurs and the database is lost, it can be restored from the backups to enable purchased features.

FRU Configuration •
FRU Replacemen t Before commencing service, it is advisable to set the system in ADMINISTRATION > ENABL E SYSTEM SERVICE mode before replacing and verifying boards. This allows the system to boot directly to the Service level in the SERVICE MAINTENA NCE TOOLS when booting with MULTIHZ + S. After a board FRU replacement, Auto Configuration is invoked by the system, i.e., when there is a mismatch between the board EEPROM and the hard drive, or a covers off event has occurred. This writes the correct boot code to the EEPROM from the hard drive file, and writes the new board revision, serial number and, if applicable, the part number from the board EEPROM, to the hard drive file. This file must be verified after board replacement to ensure the new data was accepted.
