5.2 Installing the System
The Vanquish system is installed and set up by a Thermo Fisher Scientific
service engineer, including all modules and options or parts shipped with
them. The service engineer checks that the installation is correct and
that the Vanquish system and modules operate as specified. The
engineer also demonstrates the basic operation and main features.
The following description refers to the standard system configuration,
see
System Description (Standard Configuration) (
}
page 30) .
If your system configuration is a non-standard system configuration and
includes, for example, a fluorescence detector or a charged aerosol
detector, refer to the
Operating Manual for the module for installation
and operation details.
If personnel other than a Thermo Fisher Scientific service engineer
installs the system, follow the steps below.
1. Pay attention to the safety guidelines and observe all site
requirements.
For the safety guidelines when installing the system, see

TIP
Before turning on the power to a Vanquish system module for the first
time, verify that the chromatography software is installed on the data
system computer. When the power is turned on, the required USB
drivers are automatically found and the Windows™ operating system
can detect the device.
