5.0 INSTRUMENT 

LAYOUT 

 
The user should become familiar with the location and function of all externally 
accessible controls, connectors and other features of the 

personal

DataRAM. Refer to 

Figures 1 through 6. 
 
All user related functions are externally accessible. All repair and maintenance 
should be performed by qualified Thermo Fisher Scientific personnel. Please contact 
the factory if any problem should arise. Do not attempt to disassemble the 

personal

DataRAM, except as described in Section 12.0 (Maintenance), 

otherwise 

voiding of instrument warranty will result.
