Installing the External Contact Interface Board
If your Agilent 1100 Series autosampler is not already equipped with an external contact
interface board, install one as described below.
To install the external contact interface board
1. If you have not already done so, turn off the autosampler and unplug it from line power.
2. To prevent damage to the interface board, ensure that you are using ESD protection. For
more information on preventing damage caused by an electric discharge, refer to the
reference manual for the Agilent module.
3. To remove the cover plate from the slot where you plan to install the external contact
interface board, loosen the two screws that fasten the plate to the chassis of the
autosampler.
4. Insert the external contact interface board into the slot (see
for the external
contact interface board part number). Tighten the two screws to fasten the board to the
chassis of the autosampler.
