Setup
Thank you for purchasing the Medix 1700SF. Designed with
durability and reliability in mind, the Medix 1700SF meets the
demands in medical environments. Please follow all instructions
to ensure maximum unit performance.
Unpacking
After opening the carton, there will be a Monitor display unit with
an accessory box. Examine the contents to see if there are
damages to the unit and if all accessories are present.
Setting Up
Please read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
Safety Instructions & Cleaning
The unit has undergone various tests in order to comply with
safety standards. Inappropriate use of the open frame unit may
be dangerous. Please follow all instructions to ensure your safety
during the installation and operating process.
Transporting & Placement of Unit
1. When moving the unit on a cart; be very cautious. Quick stops,
excessive forces and uneven surfaces may cause the cart to
overturn and risking the unit to fall.
2. If the Monitor display unit does fall on the ground, immediately
turn the power off and disconnect cords. Then contact a service
technician for repairs. Continual use of the unit may cause a fire
or electric shock. Also, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
2. Having two or more people transporting the display unit is
recommended. In addition, when installing the unit by
suspending it also requires two or more people.
3. Before suspending the unit, make sure the material used for
suspension is sturdy and stable. If not properly suspended, the
display unit may fall and cause serious injury to people standing
nearby as well as to the unit itself.
4. The display unit may be mounted – only use the mounting
hardware recommended by Tangent.

Electrical and Power Source
1. The Monitor display unit must operate on a power source as
shown on the specification label. If you are not sure what type of
power supply is used in the area, consult your dealer or local
power supplier.
2. The power cords must not be damaged. Applied pressure,
added heat, and tugging may damage the power cord.
3. The power cord must be routed properly during setup. This
precaution is needed to prevent people from stepping on the
cords or while the unit is suspended to prevent flying objects from
getting tangled with the unit.
4. Do not overload the AC outlets or extension cords. Electrical
shocks or fires may occur from overloading.
5. Do not touch the power source during a thunderstorm.
6. If your hands are wet, do not touch the plug.
7. Use your thumb and index finger, grip firmly on the power cord
to disconnect from the electrical socket. Pulling the power cord
may cause damage.
8. If the unit is not going to be in use for an extended period of
time, remember to disconnect the unit.
9. The Monitor display unit uses voltage between 90-264VAC.
Connect the unit to a power source with the same numerical
value. Please use only the power cord provided to ensure safety
and EMC compliance.
External Environment
1. Do not insert objects into the openings.
2. Do not allow liquids to seep into the internal areas of the
Monitor display unit.
3. Allowing liquids to seep in or inserting objects into the unit may
result in electric shocks and/or short circuit of the internal parts.

open frame unit. Then contact a service technician for repairs.
Ventilation Spacing
1. Do not cover or block the openings on the top and back sides of
the display unit. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating
thus reducing the lifespan of the unit.
2. Unless proper ventilation is present, do not place unit in an
enclosed area; such as a built-in shelf. Keep a minimum distance
of 10 cm between the display unit and wall.
Cleaning the Unit

suspension to clean.
(3) Moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to clean the
unit.
(4) Take a dry cloth and wipe the unit dry. Remember to avoid
having liquids seep into the internal components and areas of the
Monitor display unit.

BIOS Setup
BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for a standard device such as
disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and
password protection as well as special support for detailed
fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
Medix 1700SF BIOS Set up
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying
the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the
system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer,
the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key
immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a
little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test)
will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from
invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the
system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also
restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The
following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter>
to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1>
for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will
appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from
various setup functions and exit choices.

The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the
control keys for this menu. At the bottom of the Main Menu just
below the control keys section, there is another section, which
displays information on the currently highlighted item in the list.
Note: If the system cannot boot after making and
saving system changes with Setup, the Award
BIOS supports an override to the CMOS
settings that resets your system to its default.
Warning: It is strongly recommended that you avoid
making any changes to the chipset defaults.
These defaults have been carefully chosen by
both Award and your system manufacturer to
provide the absolute maximum performance
and reliability. Changing the defaults could
cause the system to become unstable and
crash in some cases.

Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the
system clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already
installed in a working system, you will not need to select this
option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option, however,
if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard
battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory is
lost or damaged.
