Set Up the Instrument
After confirming that you have received all system components, perform an initial
system test of the instrument, then define the instrument settings.
Prepare the
Instrument
1. Connect the power cord to the system.
2. (Optional) Install electrical protective devices to the power cord.
Applied Biosystems recommends that you install at least one of the electrical
protective devices (power line regulator, uninterruptible power supply, and/or surge
protector) to prevent loss of data and to protect the instrument from damage
resulting from electrical hazards.
Note: For more information on selecting electrical protective devices for the
instrument, see “Select Protective Hardware and Software” on page 7.
3. Connect the power cord to the
power receptacle
.
4. Power on the instrument, then wait for it to perform a diagnostic of the system
components.
When you power on the instrument for the first time, it may require more than 5 min
to boot. Proceed with the installation when the touchscreen displays the Main Menu,
indicating that the instrument has completed the boot.
Note: If you are updating the instrument firmware, the instrument may pause for up
to 20 min before completing the boot.
If the instrument displays an error, power off the instrument, wait 30 sec, then power
on the instrument. If the instrument displays the error again, contact
Applied Biosystems as explained in “How to Obtain Support” on page x.
