Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A medtronic representative went to the site to test the equipment.Testing revealed that the ups was installed and the system would not shut down from the application but could he hard shut down and could not be triggered from applications or admin.The issue could be replicated when the ethernet connection was pulled from the back of the computer.Swapping the etherenet cables and confirming the cabling connection did not resolve the issue.Changing the cable configuration on switch and resetting the switching did not resolve the issue.When a self test was performed an unknown firmware issue was noticed in the internal firmware and networking tab.Networking tab however indicated that it was connected.The uninterruptible power supply (ups) was replaced again along with a switch but the issue persisted.Upon booting down the system the screen displayed no video.During self test multiple components listed firmware issues and a red ip address was listed.The system was powered down and was left for some time before powering up.After the system was powered on, the self test revealed that everything was functioning normally.It was reported that the site had no grounding on the outlets.No parts have been received by the manufacturer for evaluation.
