5. Safe operation
Data protection
Through the use of high quality components we have been able to develop a guaranteed
durable and stable platform for you. Please make sure, however, that your data is backed
up regularly because only you as the user of the computer are responsible for this. We
therefore recommend that you back up your data at regular intervals on an external data
carrier or, better still, on a Pro-Line II PC with two built in hard drives, this run in safe RAID1
array. In accordance with current legislation we, as manufacturer, are not liable for dest-
royed data and their subsequent costs. Ask your e-medic dealer or our e-medic Support
Hotline for an appropriate solution for secure data storage.
Protection from power outages
So that no data loss occurs with mains supply failures and so that you can safely close
down your current application we recommend the use of a medical UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply). These are available with different output sizes. The VA value given means
that with this VA performance decrease the UPS of the connected unit will supply electrical
power for approx. 4-6 minutes. Your Pro-Line II Computer has approx. 400VA power con-
sumption at full load. A UPS with 420VA can supply your Pro-Line II Computer at full load
for 4-6 minutes. At half load, which corresponds to the normal operation of a computer,
the PC will then be supplied for approx. 20 minutes. If you take a UPS with a higher VA
number then the supply time will be increased accordingly. The table below is intended
as a guide to make it easier for you to choose the appropriate UPS. Please remember that
your monitor should also be connected to the UPS so that your system remains operable
in an emergency.
