* Additional hardware requirements for connecting instruments are detailed in the list of supported instruments,
available on the Chromeleon 7.2 CDS disc.
** For taking full advantage of this hardware, a 64-bit Windows® version is required.
*** These hard disk requirements are set to enable storage of a substantial amount of data. The software itself requires
approximately 3 GB disk space on the C drive (twice as much during an update). In addition, a few GB disk space
must always be available on the C drive for Sequences cached in the XVault™.

This table above shows the minimum and the recommended PC configurations for stand-alone installation
of Chromeleon 7.2 CDS. PCs meeting minimum requirements may be sufficient for some low-demand
applications, but will not provide satisfactory performance in many applications. PCs meeting recommended
requirements should be suitable for general applications.

Microsoft Windows 7

Chromeleon 7.2 CDS was tested with 32-bit** and

64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 Professional
and Windows 7 Ultimate editions.

*It is possible to install and use Chromeleon 7.2 CDS on 32-bit editions of Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate; SP2 is required
at minimum. However, this combination has NOT been formally validated, thus it is NOT recommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Microsoft Windows 8 is not
supported.

**Use of the 32-bit version is strongly discouraged. An exception is formed by the MSQ Plus, which can be run on Windows 7 (32 bit) Operating Systems only.
