The service representative’s responsibilities are limited to: • Unpacking the MSD system and verifying that all components are present and undamaged • Connecting the carrier gas line to the instrument from the tank, regulators, and lines previously installed by the customer • Installing, connecting, and turning on MSD system components • Verifying that the system meets Agilent Technologies performance standards • Providing basic user familiarization for system hardware and software • Signing the customer up through the Response Centers for instrument and software support Site Preparation Guide 17 Site Preparation Agilent Technologies is not responsible for: • Any task not listed in the 5975 Series MSD Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual or the installation guides for the GC, data system, and other accessories • Installing helium carrier gas or reagent gas tanks and regulators • Connecting or verifying the performance of hardware and software not provided by Agilent Technologies Items that do not include installation by Agilent Technologies must be installed by the customer. • Connecting the MSD/ChemStation system to the site network • Testing the MSD against customer standards or samples • Providing detailed instruction in the operation of the computer operating system and MSD software Contact Agilent Technologies for information concerning training classes. • Setting up laboratory procedures Contact Agilent Technologies for information concerning Application Assist or Chemical Analysis Consulting services. • Operating the MSD system following installation NOTE NOTE NOTE 18 Site Preparation Guide Site Preparation Other documentation Additional information is contained in the following documentation: • 5975 Series MSD Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual • 5975 Series MSD Operation manual • 6890 Series GC manuals • GC accessories (autosampler, etc.) manuals • G1701EA MSD Productivity ChemStation software manuals and online help • The appropriate sensitivity specifications for your instrument. See the Agilent Technologies website at Site Preparation Guide 19 Site Preparation Space and Weight Requirements Table 2 lists dimension and weight information for the MSD and related components. Your site must have enough bench space for the MSD, GC, data system, and accessories (Figure 1). In addition, there must be sufficient space around the system for ventilation and maintenance access. At least 30 cm (12 inches) to the left of the MSD and at least 20 cm (8 1/4 inches) behind the MSD must be kept clear. Benches must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the entire system. The foreline pump can be located on the laboratory bench or on the floor. It must be close to the MSD because it is connected by a 200-cm (79-inch) hose. The hose is stiff and cannot be bent sharply. Do not put the foreline pump on your laboratory bench if vibration-sensitive equipment is located on the bench.

Reserve at least 100 cm (39 in) of bench space for the data system. A typical data system weight is 34 kg (75 lb). Be sure to allow space for your carrier and reagent gases. The values in Table 2 are for a single MSD ChemStation configuration. Two-MSD configurations require additional table space. The second GC/MSD system can be located on a different table and connected to the ChemStation with a network cable. NOTE Site Preparation Guide 21 Site Preparation Communications Requirements Telephone A telephone with a cord long enough to be used at the computer will allow the MSD operator to communicate with Agilent Technologies support personnel. Site LAN network If you intend to connect your MSD system to your site’s LAN network, you must have an additional shielded twisted pair network cable. Agilent Technologies is not responsible for connecting to or establishing communication with your site LAN network. The representative will test the 5975 Series MSD's ability to communicate on a mini-hub or -switch only. The IP addresses assigned...
