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 available 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.

Service Engineers Responsibilities

Please only complete/printout pages that relate to the system module(s) that have been installed along with this
page, LC System information and Service Review page and fill the total number of pages that will be included at
the bottom of this page

Additional 1200 SL Modules

If SL modules have been included in this installation please insert these module pages into this document (Please
note that the revision number will be different to that of the main document).

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.

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
 Check for the Agilent diagnostic utility (LMD/LA) CD-ROM and install this software component
 Verify that the instrument is the correct module for the regional voltage (100 V/115 V/230V). Do NOT use
instruments which have an incompatible voltage for ELSD.

Remote Advisor
 Ask the Customer is remote advisor is installed
 If yes in install the Data Source Software
