Regulatory Compliance
Dome CX displays have been tested and found to comply with IEC/EN 60601-1 and
IEC/EN 60601-1-2 standards, and are certified to meet medical standard C22.2 No. 601.1-M1990
(C US Mark).
The medical display, in addition to meeting medical requirements, has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Class B computing devices in
a typically configured system since many medical offices are located in residential areas. It is the
system integrator’s responsibility to test and ensure that the entire system complies with applicable
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) laws.
Planar Systems, Inc. has made great efforts to support the medical device industry, in particular,
medical device manufacturers and medical device system integrators. We offer state-of-the-art
displays that are compliant with worldwide accepted medical device safety standards, and for
the European market, CE-marked displays based on compliance with counsel directive 93/42/EEC—
commonly referred to as the Medical Device Directive (MDD). The following summarizes our
qualification of these displays as it relates to compliance with the MDD.
The European Medical Device Directive requires that the intended use of the device be defined.
The intended use of these displays is “to display alphanumeric, graphic, and image data as inputted
from any type of medical device.” These displays do not provide a measurement function in any
way, and it is the device and systems manufacturer’s responsibility to verify its function in the
integrated device or system.
The display was classified as required by the MDD according to Annex IX of the directive and the
medical device (MEDDEV) guidance available at the time of classification. Because the display uses
electrical energy and has no direct patient connections and—by itself—no medical utility, the
display is classified according to Rule 12 as an MDD Class I device, component, or accessory. The
MDD states that manufacturers of Class I medical devices or accessories shall satisfy the
requirements in regard to design and manufacturing controls, that is, the applicable assessment
route to be used for CE-marking under the MDD, and it shall carry the CE mark according to
Annex XII of the directive, with no notified body annotation.

The applicable safety standards for an MDD Class I display are IEC/EN 60601-1:1990 along with
Amendments 1 and 2. To help the medical device designer evaluate the suitability of these displays,
Planar has also conducted EMC testing to IEC 60601-1-2 as it can be applied. The display with its
power supply alone does not represent a functional medical device. Hence, Planar configured
a minimal operating system to exercise the display. The resulting data are made available to
interested parties.
This is informative data, not certification data. Certification data must be obtained by the device or
system integrator according to Article 12 of the MDD titled “Particular procedure for systems and
procedure packs.” Paragraph 2 clearly outlines the device or system integrator’s responsibility in
this matter.
In summary, Planar Systems, Inc. is CE-marking these displays under the Medical Device Directive,
which establishes compliance to the basic medical safety standards. However, EMC compliance can
only be accomplished in the configured medical device or system and is the responsibility of the
device or system manufacturer. Planar has the necessary documentation such as IEC 60601-1
notified body and other third-party test reports and certifications, a risk/hazard analysis, an
essential requirements checklist, and the Planar International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
declaration of conformity.
Planar Systems, Inc., located in Beaverton, Oregon, USA, is the manufacturer of these displays in
the meaning of the directive. As required by the MDD in Article 14, Planar Systems, Inc., not residing
in the European Economic Area (EEA), has a European representative, Planar Systems, Inc.—
Olarinluoma 9, P. O. Box 46, FIN-02201 Espoo, Finland (phone + 358 9 420 01; fax + 358 9 420 0200).
In the opinion of Planar Systems, Inc. registration required to put this device into commerce is the
responsibility of the medical device/system manufacturer, and Planar supports this requirement by
providing a European Commission (EC) declaration of conformity. If Planar supplies a display to an
end user, rather than a device manufacturer, it is the end user’s responsibility to ensure continued
compliance with the MDD of the system in which the display is integrated.
For vigilance reporting as required under Article 10 of the MDD, Planar Systems, Inc. will provide
any information requested by competent authority to support any reported incident investigation
by such an authority.

Disable VGA and enable EPROM on the DX board.
To disable VGA
Slide switch 1 on DIP switch S2 into the OFF position to disable VGA.
To enable EPROM
Slide switch 2 on DIP switch S2 into the ON position to enable EPROM.
To set a display resolution
Use switch S1 (to the right of switch S2) to select a preferred default resolution. If you
change the settings for switch S1, the new settings override the default mode
programmed on the board. See page 31.
NOTE: Planar strongly recommends that you use the default mode.
Caution
If you leave the computer turned
on, you could get an electric shock
and cause damage to the system
components.
Remove the DX display controller
slowly from its package and static-
shielding bag to prevent an
electrostatic discharge.
Static electricity can damage the
controller. When touching the board
or parts of the motherboard, take
these precautions:
•Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
•Discharge your body’s static
electricity repeatedly by
touching the power supply
or the metal surface of the
computer chassis.
Display resolutions
The table on page 31 lists the switch
positions for the display resolutions
available. After you change the
settings, reboot the system to
activate the new default display
mode.

Install the Display Controller
Before you begin, choose a well-ventilated location with an adequate amount of space. Excessive heat cannot
dissipate when display vents are blocked. Make sure a grounded AC outlet is within easy reach.
When installing multiple DX boards, install all the boards before you install the display driver.
Turn your computer off. Leave the power cord plugged into the grounded outlet.
To install the display controller
1Remove the blank bracket from an available PCI slot. 2Insert the display controller into the slot, align the
connector pins, and press the board down until it
is firmly seated. Secure the mounting bracket.

Connect Video Cable and Power Supply
Turn your computer off. Leave the power cord plugged into the grounded outlet.
Use the Dome CX display with the power supply and video cable shipped. For the
Dome C2 display, the universal external 12V DC power supply is the Ault MW116. For
the Dome C3 and Dome C5i displays, the universal external 12V DC power supply is
the Ault MW122RA1223F02.
To connect the display
1Plug one end of the DVI cable into the DVI port on the interface plate. Secure
the connection. (Dome C5i connector plate shown below; see page 3 to
match the connector plate for your display.)
2Plug the power cord into the power input port on the interface plate.
3Plug the other end of the DVI cable into the Video 1 port on the installed
DX display controller. Secure the connection. Use the other port to connect
a second display.
4Plug the other end of the power cord into the power supply.
5Plug the power supply cord into a grounded AC outlet.
Installation tips
Easy access to ports
For displays mounted on a desk stand,
rotate the LCD panel from portrait to
landscape for easy access to the ports.
Threading cables
Thread the DVI cable and power cord
through the back of the stand. Make
sure the cable and cord run through
the notches. To reattach the stand
cover, align the hooks with the slots
on the stand. Press the cover into
place. A click sound signals a secure
connection.
Restarting
Turn on your display before you turn
on your computer. Failing to do so
could damage the display.
Multiple displays
Connect the first display of a two-
headed system, or the only display of
a one-headed system, to the Video 1
port. Connect all displays to the
DX board before you turn on the
computer system to install the driver.

Install the Display Driver
Before you install the driver, be sure to install all DX boards and connect all
CX displays first, then boot up your system to install the driver.
Installation preparation
Installing the DX/PCI driver for your Sun host requires about 500 KB of free space:
•200 KB in /kernel/drv
•100 KB in /usr/openwin/server/modules
•200 KB in /usr/lib
The installation procedure for Solaris performs these tasks:
•Adds the device driver
•Adds the OpenWindows™ loadable DDX driver
•Modifies the OWconfig file
•Installs the DOMEmdlib shared object library
To install the driver
1Boot up with the -r option.
2Log on as root.
3Insert the DOME DX Solaris driver CD.
4Mount the CD device if the system does not automount it. Then type:
cd /cdrom/dome*
5To transfer the software packages to the system, type:
pkgadd -d dxpci ZZZ. pkg
where ZZZ = the revision of the software.
Version conflict
If a previous version of the driver
software exists on your system,
remove it before you install the new
package. Type pkgrm, and select
the DOMEdx and DOMEmdlib
packages for removal. Do not
remove the DOMEmdlib package
already installed if it is newer than
the one on the CD.
Check the name of the file on the CD
to get the software revision.
