1 Installing the GC
8 Installation and First Startup
Overview of Installation
Purpose of this procedure
This procedure ensures that instruments and systems are installed and functioning as
designed. Correct installation is the first step in ensuring that instruments and systems
operate reliably over their lifetimes.
Customer responsibilities
1 Make sure your site meets the basic requirements, including the necessary space,
electrical outlets, gases, tubing, operating supplies, consumables and other
usage-dependent items, required for a successful installation. Refer to the Agilent 8860
Gas Chromatograph GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation Guide.
2 If Agilent is delivering installation and familiarization services, users of the instrument
should be present throughout these services; otherwise, these users will miss important
operational, maintenance, and safety information.
Additional information is available via the Browser Interface help & information suite and the
Agilent GC and GC/MS User Manuals & Tools DVD.
