Change Setting for 50-Plate Stacks

For better performance when using 50-plate stacks and routinely processing more
than 30 plates, change the dip switch setting. This changes the BioStack's behavior to
better handle the heavier load.
1. Turn off the BioStack.
2. Two plugs on the rear wall of the instrument cover two sets of dip switches.
Remove plug #2, the plug on the right when viewing the instrument from the
rear.
3. Using a pencil tip, push
position, away from the instrument.
4. Replace the plug.
