Verifying Connection Ports
The Loader electronics module connects to the computer via a Keyspan USB-to-
serial adapter. If communication problems exist between the Loader and
cytometer, check cable connections and ensure the correct port is selected in
Loader Manager Preferences.
1 Remove the back access cover from the cytometer; check cable connections
between the Loader electronics module and the adapter (Figure 8-4).
NOTICE For Mac OS X computers, the cable should be attached only to
adapter port 2 (curved side of adapter).

; Tip For reliable performance, plug the adapter directly into a USB port on
the computer; do not use a USB hub.
3 Quit Worklist Manager, if running, and launch Loader Manager.
