Safety Precautions

To connect the Agilent 1100 Series LC stack to a Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer, you must install an external contact board in one of the Agilent modules and a LAN interface board in a second Agilent module. To install a board, you must remove the cover from the optional board slot. Figure 2 on page 6 shows the location of the slot on the back panel of the detector.

Before you remove the slot cover from an Agilent 1100 Series module, do the following:

• Turn the power switch to the Off position and unplug the power cable.

CAUTION To avoid an electric shock, always turn off an Agilent module and unplug it from line power before you remove its cover.

Refer to the Reference Manual for the module for additional safety information and for information on preventing ESD damage caused by an electrical discharge.

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