Connecting the Hardware
This chapter describes how to install the interface boards, connect the Ethernet cables, and
make the contact closure connections required to control an LC/MS system (Agilent
LC/Thermo scientific MS) system from Xcalibur.
Ethernet Communication Kit
To connect an Agilent 1100 series HPLC to your Thermo Scientific MS detector, you must
have the Ethernet Communication kit (P/N OPTON 30012), which contains the parts listed
in Tabl e 2. In addition, one of the modules of the Agilent 1100 Series LC must have a
JetDirect 400N LAN card (P/N 00825-01140) or an Agilent LAN interface board, model
number G1369A.
