Site Preparation
Overview
Before the 5975 Series MSD system can be installed, the site must be properly 
prepared. Site preparation includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that 
adequate facilities are available. Among the site requirements are:
• Adequate space is available for the MSD system.
• A suitable supporting bench is available.
• Adequate electrical power is available at the correct voltages and 
frequencies.
• Environmental control systems are adequate to maintain a correct, stable 
operating environment.
• Preparations for safe exhaust venting are adequate.
• Supplies necessary for instrument operation are available, including 
solvents, carrier and reagent gasses, and printer paper.
Delays due to inadequate site preparation could cause loss of instrument use 
during the warranty period. In extreme cases, Agilent Technologies may ask to 
be reimbursed for the additional time required to complete the installation. 
Agilent Technologies provides service during the warranty period and under 
maintenance agreements only if the specified site requirements are met.
Customer responsibility
Unless previous arrangements have been made with Agilent Technologies, site 
preparation is the customer’s responsibility. Customer responsibilities 
include, but are not limited to:
• Planning, scheduling, and preparing the site according to the specifications 
in this manual
• Verifying that the electrical environment is safe and adequate for the MSD 
system installation and operation
NOTE
Installation and verification will only be performed using helium carrier gas. CI systems 
require methane reagent gas for verification.
