Always grip the capillary array fitting near the end during removal
or installation of the tip cap to prevent flexing and possible
breakage of the capillary array.
8. While holding the Array Fitting tab (of the new capillary array), align the Array
Fitting (Figure 203) with the manifold opening and guide pins. Push the fitting into
the manifold until it is completely seated against the bases of the Guide Pins. Make
sure that the fitting tab is placed downward when inserting the capillary array into
its slot.
9. While holding the Electrode Block tab, align the Electrode Block (Figure 204)
with the guide block pins and gently push it in until resistance is met. (The
resistance is from the spring-loaded contacts.)
10. When installing the capillary array, carefully route the capillaries through the hole
in the Plenum Assembly (Figure 205) and straight across into the guide block pins
(Figure 206).
