Security Software
(Firewall and
Encryption
Utilities)
If you plan to install a firewall or encryption utility to protect your 7300/7500/7500 Fast
system on a network, confirm that the security software does not interfere with USB
communication between the 7300/7500/7500 Fast instrument and the SDS software.
These components may not function if the security software restricts access to USB
communication.
Note: The Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system installed on the
computer shipped with the 7300/7500/7500 Fast system contains a native firewall utility.
Applied Biosystems does not support the use of the Windows firewall software, and
cannot provide support for problems arising through its use.
System Utilities or
Performance
Optimizing
Software
Applied Biosystems recommends the regular use of the Windows XP Professional
operating system defragmentation utility and a commercial archival utility to ensure
optimal performance of the 7300/7500/7500 Fast system. (For more information, see
“Cleaning Up and Defragmenting the Hard Drive” on page 114.)
Note: Before you install a different defragmentation utility or another type of
performance-enhancing software, verify that the software does not interfere with the
SDS software as explained in “Security Software (Firewall and Encryption Utilities)”
above.
