GeoMx DSP Instrument Maintenance
Shut Down
The GeoMx DSP instrument should be shut down and restarted on a weekly basis.
IMPORTANT:
Leave the slide tray in the instrument. Ensure it is in the instrument before
shutting down or restarting. If the door is locked, click Assist (wrench icon), Restart Data
Collection Workflow to reach the prompt to open the door.
1. A user must be logged in locally as an administrator in order to shut down the instrument.
2. Select the Administration button from the GeoMx DSP Control Center.
3. Select System Settings, then the System Shutdown tab, then Shutdown System.
4. The system will determine if any slide runs are in progress.
If one or more users are logged in, a warning message will appear. Select OK.
l
If no slide run is in progress, the system will warn that all users will be logged out and may
l
lose unsaved information. Select OK to continue shutting down.
5. A message will instruct you to allow 30 seconds before turning the physical power button to the
off position. Select OK to continue shutting down.
6. A status message will indicate that system shutdown is in progress. The system will perform
any hardware functions required to prepare for long-term storage, homing if necessary.
7. The system will power off.
8. Once the monitor turns black and indicates "no signal," turn the instrument power button off.
Wait at least 1 minute before turning on again, if rebooting.
The fans of the system may continue to blow after the system has been shut down. If the monitor has
turned black, the computer inside the system has shut down and the hardware of the system is in the
home position. Despite the fans still operating, it is safe to turn the power button off at this stage.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
