Site requirements
Space requirements
Adequate space for the MSD, GC, data system, and other peripheral devices must
be provided. The sizes and weights of the MSD system components are listed in
Table 1. A minimum of 30 cm of unobstructed distance between the rear of the MSD
and the nearest wall must be provided for service access and air circulation.
Telephone
A telephone with a cord long enough to be used at the computer will allow the MSD
operator to communicate with HP support personnel. In addition, a second, analog
phone line is strongly recommended to allow remote control and diagnosis of the
MSD through a modem. This is required for some service contracts.
Environmental requirements
Indoor use only.
Thermal outputs of the MSD system components are listed in Table 1.
