Setup and Configuration Guide
Maintenance Requirements
What You Need
You will need a canister of compressed air, a label, and familiarity with Windows 10 system
administration.
Time Required
Maintenance can take from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the amount of disk
fragmentation and amount of space used on the hard drive.
Maintenance Frequency
Maintenance is recommended once every three months.
Why Study Storage Maintenance is Required
TIMS MVP
™
and TIMS Review application performance will degrade when the system hard drive
is nearing capacity.
In addition, TIMS MVP
™
and TIMS Review stations are designed for temporary, short-term study
storage ONLY. Long term study storage is performed on PACS.
PACS systems contain standard disk backup and redundancy mechanisms for long term data
storage.

TIMS MVP
™
studies over six (6) months old.
