When positioned properly, the end of the GC/MSD interface cover will
touch the metal of the oven wall, and the end of the interface will protrude
into the GC oven. The sides of the GC and MSD should be parallel. Note that
the end of the interface on a CI MSD will not protrude quite as far into the
GC oven as that on an EI MSD.
4 Connect a remote cable between the MSD and one of the remote
connectors on the back of the GC.
5 Connect the MSD power cord to an appropriate AC outlet.
6 Loosen the sideplate thumbscrews completely (shown in Figure 9) and
open the analyzer.
7 Remove the interface column nut and blank ferrule from the end of the
GC/MSD interface.
8 Install the column in the GC/MSD interface. See the
5975 Series MSD Hardware Manual for more information.
9 Turn the GC on.
10 Set the GC column flow to 1.0 mL/min with constant flow enabled.
11 Pump down the MSD.

CAUTION
Opening the analyzer with either sideplate thumbscrew tight will irreparably damage
the baseplate. Damage of this type is not covered by the warranty.
