Replacing the CO-ox Lamp
You need a CO-ox lamp for this task.
1. Ensure that the system is not performing any analysis.
2. Shutdown the system:
a. Select
Status > Shutdown > Yes.
b. When prompted, turn the power switch off.
The power switch is on the back panel of the system.
3. Move the system so that you are able to work directly behind the system.
4. For ease of access, prop the back of the system up by about 3/4 inch (1.9 cm).
When you prop up the back of the system, the back cover can lay flat when
you open it.
WARNING: Do not touch the lamp until it has been off for at least 5 minutes.
Waiting for at least 5 minutes allows sufficient time for the lamp to cool.
CAUTION: Do not remove power from the system for more than 6 hours if
cartridges are installed. Cartridges installed in the system remain stable for 6
hours without power.
WARNING: To prevent damage to the hard drive and permanent loss of data, use
this procedure to shut down the system.
