Overview
The M2540A ultrasound system comprises a cart, a system control panel, and a monitor. A foot
pedal on each caster locks and unlocks the front cart wheels. All four wheels swivel. The system
control panel and the monitor adjust up and down and swivel as a unit, and the monitor tilts and
swivels on its mount.
The cart’s lower enclosure contains the M2540A’s computer, disk drives, and ultrasound
generating and processing boards.
CD-RW and floppy disk drives are standard equipment.
Optional peripheral components include a video cassette recorder, various types of printer, a
foot switch, and a magneto-optical disk (MOD) drive. The VCR is available in either NTSC or
PAL configuration. For a complete list of optional components, see “Optional Peripherals” on
page 201.
Most peripheral devices mount on top of the lower enclosure. The optional plain-paper printer
is not mounted on or powered by the system, but is connected from a remote location.
The Resident Self Test (RST) software verifies system performance and helps diagnose problems.
