step
1
Locate a solid, flat clean surface for the instrument. Make sure that:
• The instrument can stand completely stable.
• The rear air slots will not be covered.
• The unit always has at least 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) to the next wall or neighboring instrument.
• The temperature (normal ambient) is between 20°C and 30°C with humidity levels between 20% and 80% non-condensing.
• The atmosphere is not explosive.

Unpack the shipping containers
The AriaMx instrument is shipped in two separate containers.
The small container holds the power cord. The large container
holds the instrument and accessory tray.

1) Open the small shipping container. Remove the power cord
MY and set it aside for now.
CY
2) Make sure that the large shipping container is in the upright
CMY
position (Figure 1), then cut the four plastic straps that hold
K
the container together.
Caution: Retain the large shipping container and all packaging materials inside.
In the event that you need to return the instrument for service, you
must ship it in the original container to maintain warranty protection.
3)
Open the top flaps of the large container. Inside the container is an accessory tray (Figure 2), which contains the Certificate of
Conformance and the installation poster.
4) Remove the accessory tray and set it aside.
5) Remove the foam support that sits on top of the instrument in the shipping container.
6) Grip a handle on each side of the shipping container and lift up to remove the box sleeve that surrounds the
instrument. The instrument sits on the base of the shipping container, as shown in Figure 3.

7) Remove the plastic wrapping from the instrument.
8) Lift the instrument off of the shipping container base and set it down on its selected location
(see "Step 1. Select a location for the instrument"). Agilent recommends that two people lift the instrument together.
step
3
Install the optical modules
1) Open the instrument door by lifting up on the handle on the top of
the instrument. Lift the door all the way up and back.
2)
Remove the piece of foam and then remove the strip of cardboard from
around the thermal block assembly
(see Figure 4).
The optical module housing carrier is positioned to the left of the
thermal block assembly.
3)
Slide the optical module housing carrier to the right until it is centered
in the opening of the instrument door (as shown in Figure 5). Use the
indentation on the top of the carrier to help slide it.
4)
Open the lid on the optical module housing carrier. a) With your thumb
and index finger, pinch together the two pieces of plastic in the
indentation on the top of the carrier (see Figure 6). b) Lift the lid all the
way back to reveal the six slots for the optical modules (see Figure 7).
