AIC 5000 Installation and Configuration 1

1Using This Guide

Introduction

Use this guide to learn how to install and configure the Agilent

Instrument Controller (AIC) for use with the EZChrom Elite data

system. The AIC is a network appliance that controls instruments

and acquires data digitally. Be sure to refer to the section of this

guide that corresponds with the AIC version you have. See the next

chapter, “About the Agilent Instrument Controller”, for details.

Who Should Read This Guide?

This document is designed for the system administrator who will

install the AIC.

AIC 5000 Installation and Configuration 3

2About the AIC

The AIC is a device that controls instruments and acquires data

digitally. It is for use in client/server environments only. Each AIC

can control and acquire digital data from up to 4 GC or LC

instruments, or up to 16 analog channels of data (A/D required), up

to 2 photodiode array detectors (PDA) or combinations of the

above.

Please see the Agilent Technologies Website www.Agilent.com and

browse for Technical Support for Life Sciences and Chemical

Analysis for information on EZChrom Elite software version

support for AICs.

Note

There are three versions of the AIC: The

AIC 5000 is black in color and has

“Instrument Controller 5000”stenciled on

the front of the unit. Revision B is silver

in color and is marked with a “Revision

B” sticker on the rear. Revision A has

limited instrument support for versions

after EZChrom Elite Revision 3.2.1. It is

black in color and is marked with a

“Revision A” sticker on the rear or has no

sticker. AIC Rev A is not covered in this

document.

Note

The AIC is shipped with a USB memory

stick, which is required for software

installation and updates. Please keep this

in a safe place for future use.
