observe the following precautions:
Some procedures require you to fully shut down the ImageXpress Confocal HT.ai system
and unplug the power cable. See

If the MetaXpress software is running, exit the software before you turn off the instrument.
Some procedures may require that you disconnect the connection between the
instrument and the acquisition computer and power off any attached peripherals, such as
the robot plate-loading arm.
To prevent dust from collecting inside the instrument, keep all access doors closed unless
you are doing maintenance tasks.
Ensure that all components and access doors are closed before you start the instrument.
Access only the user-serviceable components inside the instrument as described in the
