Setting Up the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler
3.1 Installing the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler
The Maxprep™ Liquid Handler will be installed by a trained Promega representative. Prior
to installation, identify a location for the instrument that conforms to the environmental
requirements in Section 1.9 and the Maxprep™ Site Preparation Document sent by Promega.
We recommend connecting the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler, PC and Monitor to an uninterruptible
power supply. In order to use the Portal sample tracking functionality, it will be necessary to
connect the PC to your internal network. Prior to installation of the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler,
consult with your IT department to evaluate any concerns or limitations with connecting the
Maxprep™ Liquid Handler PC and any Maxwell
®
Tablet PCs to your network.
Recommended Domain policy settings when the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler PC is
connected to your internal network
Ensure that domain policies for the PC adhere to the following:
• Disable automatic Windows
®
updates.
• Virus scanning programs can interfere with the operation of the instrument. Please disable
virus scanning programs, manually perform virus scans, or schedule virus scanning outside
of working hours. When placed on a site domain, contact your IT department to ensure that
domain policies are amended such that the Maxprep™ software is excluded from virus
scanning software.
• Disable automatic power off, sleep or hibernation settings.
• Disable “Fast Startup”. Set the power button to Shut Down, not Sleep.
• Disable any other automatically or manually started software that would consume PC
resources during operation.
