70 Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation
1 Installing the GC
Install the Intuvo chips and column.
The GC ships with packing materials in the inlet base, column 
connection, and column oven. Remove these and install the inlet 
chip, Guard chip, and column.
Each GC ships with a simple D1 detector chip installed. If the 
ordered configuration includes another detector, first verify the 
D1 performance, then install the detector chip for the other 
configuration and test. For an MS configuration with no other 
GC detector, you will need to replace the simple D1 chip with 
the MS chip before installing the column. Refer to the Intuvo 
9000 GC Maintaining Your GC manual.
A capillary column was shipped with the GC to be used to 
confirm proper operation. Agilent suggests that it be used only 
for that purpose.
