2-8 Installing the HPLC Pump
Connecting IEEE-488 devices
The steps in this procedure assume that you have not already connected any
of the other HPLC system IEEE-488 devices (the autosampler or detector, for
example) to the data control workstation. If you have already connected other
devices to the workstation, connect the pump to the existing chain of devices.
The order in which you connect IEEE-488 devices is not important.
To make the IEEE-488 connections for the data control system:
1. Connect the single-receptacle end of the 2-meter IEEE-488 cable to the
busLAC/E card in the Empower or Breeze 2 workstation, or to the NI
GPIB card in the MassLynx workstation.

2. Connect the dual-receptacle end of the 2-meter IEEE-488 cable to the
IEEE-488 port on one of the IEEE-488 devices (pump, column heater,
autosampler, or detector).
3. Connect one end of a 1-meter IEEE-488 cable (with dual-receptacle
connectors at each end) to the cable receptacle on the first device.
Connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE-488 port on the next
device.
