8-3-1-1 Preparation and Notes for Software Installation Procedure
• When installing the Windows operating system software, in some situations (for example, after
performing a Hard Disk Replacement Procedure), it is necessary to format the hard disk.
Be aware that this will perform a full format of the Hard Disk and all patient data will be lost.
• After performing a software installation, all logs are deleted. It is recommended that these should
be recorded should they be needed in the future..
• Normally, the Venue Go™ system is supplied with the software already installed. In some cases,
it is necessary to re-install the software.
• Make sure that the required Software Option keys are available prior to commencing the installation
process. Do not use the Software Option keys from a previous system version
At the site, perform the following steps before you start the upgrade procedure:
1.) Perform Disk Management for all database records and select the "Copy" option
(for instructions, refer to the Venue Go™ User Manual on your Document Media).
NOTE: It is recommended that Disk Management be executed using the "move" option to a network
repository.
2.) Perform a full back-up for Patient Archive and System Configuration
(for instructions, refer to the Venue Go™ User Manual on your Document Media).
3.) Write down the following settings as it will be necessary to restore them at the end of the process:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL SOFTWARE THAT WAS NOT DESIGNATED FOR YOUR
VENUE GO™ UNIT. ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL UN-APPROVED SOFTWARE WILL
CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE!
IMPORTANT Since neither the System Serial Number or the Computer Name can be changed after the
software installation procedure is completed, it is important to make sure that when prompted, the
correct information is inserted during the installation procedure.
WHILE THE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO PRESERVE
DATA, YOU SHOULD SAVE ANY PATIENT DATA, IMAGES, SYSTEM SETUPS TO
BACKUP MEDIA BEFORE DOING A SOFTWARE INSTALLATION.
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS FORMATS THE HARD DRIVE (WHEN SELECTION OF
THIS OPTION IS APPLICABLE) - MAKE SURE TO SAVE ALL THE REQUIRED PRESETS,
SETTINGS AND PATIENT DATA!
IMPORTANT Before performing any Venue Go™ software installation procedure, it is mandatory to
backup the Archive.
REMOVE ALL EXTERNAL DEVICES SUCH AS PRINTERS AND USB CONNECTIONS
BEFORE STARTING THE UPGRADE PROCEDURE.
