This topic describes how to start up and shut down the Bravo Platform when you are
operating it as a standalone device. For instructions on how to turn on and turn off the
Bravo Platform when it is integrated into a workstation or system, see the workstation
or system user documentation.
Always turn off the Bravo Platform before installing or uninstalling a liquid-handling
head. Failure to do so can damage the head electronics.
To start up the Bravo Platform:
1
Ensure that the main power cable and Ethernet are plugged into the connection
panel.
2
Turn on any accessories, for example, Pump Module.
3
Turn on the computer and the monitor, and start the Microsoft Windows operating
system.
4
If you have not already done so, install the liquid-handling head.
5
On the side of the Bravo Platform, press the power switch to the on (|) position.
The front panel status lights turn blue.
Note: If the emergency-stop pendant is pressed or absent, the status lights will
turn red.
