Preface

About This Guide

This guide describes how to hardwire an Agilent®1100 Series LC to a Thermo Scientific

mass spectrometer and the data system computer, configure an Agilent autosampler for

contact closure from within the Xcalibur Instrument Configuration program, and trigger data

collection with an Agilent autosampler.

This guide also describes how to upgrade a Hewlett-Packard®1100 Series LC to an

Agilent 1100 Series LC with Ethernet communication.

In addition to this guide, Thermo Fisher Scientific provides Help available from within the

Xcalibur software.

Safety and Special Notices

Make sure you follow the precautionary statements presented in this guide. The safety and

other special notices appear in boxes.

Safety and special notices include the following:

CAUTION Highlights hazards to humans, property, or the environment. Each CAUTION

notice is accompanied by an appropriate CAUTION symbol.

CAUTION Highlights electric shock related hazards to human beings. Each electric shock

notice is accompanied by the international High Voltage symbol.

IMPORTANT Highlights information necessary to prevent damage to software, loss of

data, or invalid test results; or might contain information that is critical for optimal

performance of the system.

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.

• Refer to the Reference Manual for the module for additional safety information and for

information on preventing ESD damage caused by an electrical discharge.
