5.2 Relocating the image stock
5.2.1 Procedure when using an additional hard drive 135
Before starting the function Prior to starting the data relocation, all patients must be checked out. In a multi-workstation installation this prerequisite applies to all SIDEXIS stations in the entire system.
Only then is it possible to launch the relocation procedure and to determine its extent.

Excluding patients from relocation
Option: "Exclude patients from relocation"
Clicking on the "Select..." button displays the "Choose patient"
dialog.
All patients, the images of whom should be relocated, are selected with active check boxes.
If patients are to be excluded from relocation, then deactivate the check box for the required patient.
z This makes sense if patients are currently in treatment.
2. Confirming the dialog Relocation is carried out upon confirming the dialog.
3. The relocation procedure
Relocation of data can take some time. Its progress may be monitored in a dialog box. Relocation can be ended at any time by clicking the "Cancel"
button. There may be a short delay until the function is terminated as it must first finish processing the current image. If you stop a relocation in progress, you can continue it at a later time by specifying the same date(s).
CAUTION:
Do not remove the storage medium from the drive during relocation.
Otherwise data loss may occur.

5.2.2 Procedure when using exchangeable external media
Before starting the function Prior to starting the data relocation, all patients must be checked out. In a multi-workstation installation this prerequisite applies to all SIDEXIS stations in the entire system.
Only then is it possible to launch the relocation procedure and to determine its extent.
You should prepare a sufficient number of formatted storage media for relocation.
If you have too few storage media prepared, it may interrupt the relocation procedure. In this case, relocation can be continued at a later point in time.

CAUTION:
To be able to retrieve the relocated images at any time, you must always label the removable storage media immediately when prompted to do so by the program.
CAUTION:
Storage media that are full should be secured against accidental deletion or overwriting with a mechanical write protection. To do this, slide the small tab in the corner of the disk so that it no longer covers the opening. If you slide the tab back (i.e. to cover the opening), you can write on the disk again.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the storage medium from the drive during relocation.
Otherwise data loss may occur.

5.2.3 Opening relocated images
General Since all information that is relevant for image selection (image type, image date, short description, and preview) remains on the hard drive and only the actual (space intensive) image is relocated, the subsequent selection of relocated images remains the same as the selection of not yet relocated images.
Supplement: Exchangeable external data media
When using exchangeable external data media, then you are requested to insert the respective data media.
After the storage medium is inserted and this message is confirmed, the image can be displayed as usual. Transfer and display of the desired image is done automatically.
For data security reasons, only formatted and tested MO disks are
recommended as storage media for the relocated data. Furthermore, the user does not have to spend time preparing the disks and errors are avoided.
Sirona Dental Systems GmbH cannot guarantee the proper function of items purchased from computer retail stores.
The MO disks to be used for relocation should have a unique color coding (green).
