Liquid Chromatograph
Hardware and Software Installation Checklist

Hardware / Software
Installation
Purpose: To ensure that instruments
and systems are correctly installed
and functioning as designed, in the
customer's facility. Correct
installation is the first step in
ensuring that instruments and
systems operate reliably over an
extended lifetime.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer should ensure that the
installation site is prepared in
accordance with the specifications
contained in the relevant site
preparation document and that the
necessary operating supplies,
consumables and usage dependent
items such as vials, paper, solvents,
etc. are available. A customer
representative should be present at
all times during the installation.
Note: Typical installation time is
1.5 hours for a system and 30
minutes for a module.
If installation time was not sold for
any section, check that section as
not applicable.

Installation Checklist

Unpacking and inspection of

shipped materials
Note: Shipping containers should
not be opened until an Agilent
Technologies representative is
present
Unpack all boxes and place
equipment on bench. To
prevent injury, get lifting
assistance if needed.
Retain shipping containers and
material until installation is
complete and performance is
verified
Notify order fulfillment of any
discrepancies
Unpack and verify condition
and completeness of shipment
Check serial numbers and fill in
installation documentation S/N
fields if necessary
Verify that power cords are
correct (must mate with power
sockets) and are plugged into
power receptacle
When applicable, install
computer system and connect all
power interconnect cables
If a G1315C-DAD or G1365CMWD is added to an existing
1100 system, all modules must
be upgraded to firmware
revision A.06.xx using the
LAN/RS-232 FW Update Tool
2.00 according to the update
documentation.
G1322A/79A Degasser

Note:
If one section contains multiple
choices for installed Hardware
please encircle all modules that are
part of the system and fill in the
corresponding Serial Number.
