Air Flow Control
5-15-1
Air Flow Distribution
The fan at the rear of the scanner draws air into the scanner, through the foam filter, and pushes it
through a flange that moves the air into a cavity on top of the card rack.
Air holes in the bottom of this cavity allow the air to move down through the card rack. Air exits the card
rack through holes on its internal side panel into the interior of the scanner near the rear of the Backend
Processor.
The internal fan in the Backend processor draws the air into the PC allowing it to pass through the
interior of the PC, and exit the lower front area of the scanner.

Service Platform

Introduction
The Service Platform contains a set of software modules that are common to all ultrasound and
cardiology systems containing a PC backend. This web-enabled technology provides linkage to e-
Services, e-Commerce, and the iCenter, making GE’s scanners more
e-enabled
than ever. The Service
Platform will increase service productivity and reduce training and service costs.
