4 Preparing the system
Inserting and removing USB storage
devices
You can use a USB storage device to import and
export various logs and setup configurations and to
archive images and clips.
Images and clips are saved to internal storage and
are organized in a sortable patient list. You can
archive the images and clips from the ultrasound
system to a PC using a USB storage device or
Ethernet connection. Although the images and clips
cannot be viewed from a USB storage device on the
ultrasound system, you can remove the device and
view them on your PC.
There are two USB ports on the system, and one on
the mini-dock. For additional USB ports, you can
connect a USB hub into any USB port.
Note: The system does not support
password-protected
USB storage devices. Make
sure that the USB storage device you use does not
have
password protection enabled. See also
“Troubleshooting” on page 89.
To insert a USB storage device
 Insert the USB storage device into any USB port
on the system or mini-dock. See Figure 1 on
page 1.
The USB storage device is ready when the USB
icon appears.
To view information about the device, see
“USB Devices setup” on page 22.
To remove a USB storage device
Removing the USB storage device while the
system is exporting to it may cause the exported
files to be corrupted or incomplete.
1 Wait five seconds after the USB animation stops.
2 Remove the USB storage device from the port.
WARNING:
To avoid damaging the USB
storage device and losing patient
data from it, observe the following:
• Do not remove the USB storage
device or turn off the ultrasound
system while the system is
exporting.
• Do not bump or otherwise apply
pressure to the USB storage
device while it is in a USB port on
the ultrasound system. The
connector could break.
Caution:
If the USB icon does not appear in
the system status area on-screen,
the USB storage device may be
defective or password-protected.
Turn the system off and replace
the device.
