| Practice | Why It Matters | | :--- | :--- | | | When a GE FSE sets or changes the BIOS password during a PM (Preventive Maintenance), ask them to log it in a sealed service envelope. Store it in your biomedical database. | | Replace CMOS Batteries Proactively | Every 3-4 years, have a certified FSE replace the motherboard battery during a scheduled visit. A dead battery can cause BIOS settings to default to a locked state. | | Never Disable Secure Boot | The Vivid E9 relies on Secure Boot to validate the OS. Disabling it via BIOS will corrupt the boot chain, forcing a password prompt. | | Train Staff | Ensure sonographers and IT staff know that no standard key (F2, Del) should be pressed during startup. Only service engineers should attempt BIOS entry. |
