General Information
Serial Number Information
Serial Number Information
Attached to each element in your system is a serial number plate. A typical serial number
is in the form XXXXUXXXXX or GBXXXXXXXX. It is in two parts; the first four digits
and the letter are the serial prefix and the last five are the suffix. The prefix is the same for
identical elements, it only changes when a change is made to an element in your system.
The suffix however, is assigned sequentially and is different for each element. The
contents of this manual apply to the elements with the serial number prefix(es) listed
under SERIAL NUMBERS on the title page.
A system manufactured after the printing of this manual may have a number prefix that is
not listed on the title page. The unlisted serial number prefix indicates the system is
different from those described in this manual. The manual for this new element is
accompanied by a Manual Changes supplement. This supplement contains change
information that explains how to adapt the manual to the new element.
In addition to change information, the supplement may contain information for correcting
errors in the manual. To keep this manual as current and accurate as possible, Agilent
recommends that you periodically request the latest Manual Changes supplement. The
supplement for this manual is identified with the manual print date and part number, both
of which appear on the manual title page. Complementary copies of the supplement are
available from Agilent Technologies. For information concerning a serial number prefix
that is not listed on the Manual Changes supplement, contact your nearest Agilent
Technologies office.

Packaging Requirements
Instruments can be damaged as a result of using packaging materials other than those
specified. Never use styrene pellets as packaging material. They do not adequately
cushion the instrument nor prevent it from shifting in the carton. They also cause
instrument damage by generating static electricity.
