3. For configurations having two CM-30S modules running Empower software, the primary
column manager.
See also: “Setting up a primary and secondary column manager” for information explaining
how to configure a system that includes two column managers.
Requirement: Before you power-on the detector, set the flow on the ccBSM to fill the flow
cell with solvent, thus removing any air.
4. All remaining system modules in no particular order.
5. Observe the LED indicator on the right-hand side on each module to determine its
operational status.
Requirement: If communication with system modules is interrupted, you must reset the
software. To do so, right-click on a control panel, and select Reset or click Reset on the
control menu item in the console instrument page.
