Installing the External Contact Interface Board

If your Agilent 1100 Series Autosampler is not already equipped with an external contact interface board, install one as described below.

YTo install the external contact interface board

1.If you have not already done so, turn off the autosampler and unplug it from line power.

CAUTION To avoid electric shock, unplug the power cable that connects the Agilent module to line power. After you turn the power switch to the Off position, the power supply continues to draw current.

2.To prevent damage to the interface board, ensure that you are using ESD protection. For more information on preventing damage caused by an electric discharge, refer to the Reference Manual for the Agilent module.

CAUTION To prevent damage to an instrument, always use ESD protection when handling electronic boards and components.

3.To remove the cover plate from the slot where you plan to install the external contact interface board, loosen the two screws that fasten the plate to the chassis of the autosampler.

4.Insert the external contact interface board (see Table 2 for the part number) into the slot, and then tighten the two screws to fasten the board to the chassis of the autosampler. See Figure 4.
