16 Site Preparation Guide
Site Preparation
Overview
Before the 5975 Series MSD system can be installed, the site must be properly
prepared. Site preparation includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that
adequate facilities are available. Among the site requirements are:
• Adequate space is available for the MSD system.
• A suitable supporting bench is available.
• Adequate electrical power is available at the correct voltages and
frequencies.
• Environmental control systems are adequate to maintain a correct, stable
operating environment.
• Preparations for safe exhaust venting are adequate.
• Supplies necessary for instrument operation are available, including
solvents, carrier and reagent gasses, and printer paper.
Delays due to inadequate site preparation could cause loss of instrument use
during the warranty period. In extreme cases, Agilent Technologies may ask to
be reimbursed for the additional time required to complete the installation.
Agilent Technologies provides service during the warranty period and under
maintenance agreements only if the specified site requirements are met.
Customer responsibility
Unless previous arrangements have been made with Agilent Technologies, site
preparation is the customer’s responsibility. Customer responsibilities
include, but are not limited to:
• Planning, scheduling, and preparing the site according to the specifications
in this manual
