Check Inventory
Ensure that these materials are available for installing the system. See also “Sales Groups” in the Access
Systems Applications database for a list of parts and components shipped with each system sales
configuration.
NOTE: Installers outside the U.S.(OUS) must make adjustments as needed to accommodate 220 V power
requirements.
Step Action
1. Review the system site requirements specified in these documents:
• “Space and Environmental Requirements” in the Reference Manual.
• “Presite Qualifications Checklist, Access 2” in the “Installation and Deinstallation” section of the
Access Service Manual.
2. Prepare the bench area for the AU and the peripherals.
• Bench space of 7 feet (213 cm) is required to accommodate all components, or 6 feet (183 cm)
without the PC.
• A minimum height of 30 inches (76 cm) above the bench top surface for access to the interior of the
AU from the top.
3. Verify that the surface prepared for the AU is flat, stable, and level.
4. Caution: DO NOT lift the AU using any other portion(s) of the base plate, panels, or covers. To lift the
AU, place hands in the indentations located at each corner of the AU base plate and lift.
5. Carefully place the AU on the prepared bench space leaving:
• 12 inches (30 cm) on the left side of the AU for the fluids tray.
• 36 inches (91 cm) on the right side for the monitor, printer, and computer.
• 2 inches (5 cm) behind the AU to allow for opening the top cover.
6. Keep the packing and the pallet with all packing material until installation is successfully completed and
then discard if desired.
Install the Fluids Tray
Perform these steps to install the fluids tray.
Note: The waste air and liquid can be routed to a floor drain. Refer to service document “Waste Drain Kit Installation”
in the Access Service Manual database
Step Action
1. Unpack the fluids tray and related components.
2. Remove the red bulkhead fitting caps on the left side of the AU.
3. Locate the tubes labeled Waste, Waste 2, and Buffer coiled together in the fluids tray.
4. Slide the slip-on tubing clamps over the tubes, then connect the tubes to the appropriate bulkhead
fittings and tighten the clamps once the tubing is connected to the fittings.
Notes:
• Discard the red bulkhead fitting caps.
• The waste tubing connections are interchangeable.
• Wetting the tubes will help when sliding them onto the connections.
5. Unscrew and discard the black plug from the substrate fitting on the left side of the AU.
6. Connect the substrate fluid line to the substrate fitting and tighten.
7. Connect the sensor cable for the fluid tray level sensors to the connection labeled level sensors on the
left side of the AU.
8. Slide the fluids tray to within approximately 1 inch of the AU, easing the wires and tubes into the
opening on the tray housing.
Step Action
1. Remove the monitor arm components from their packaging.
2. Mount the monitor arm onto the mounting post on the AU, with the tension adjustment screw facing
upward.
Note: Place one brass bushing between the arm and the bracket before mounting.
3. Insert the keyboard tray support rods fully into the holes on the mounting bracket and then tighten the
two set screws.
4. Attach the monitor mounting plate to the tilt-and-turn mechanism using four (#10-32 x 3/8”) counter sink
screws.
5. Remove the monitor stand from the monitor and attach the monitor mounting plate / tilt-and-turn
mechanism to the back of the monitor using the four (M4 x 12mm) screws removed from the monitor.
6. Mount the monitor / tilt-and-turn mechanism to the post on the keyboard/monitor mounting bracket.
7. Mount the keyboard/monitor mounting bracket onto the arm.
Note: Place one brass bushing between the arm and the bracket before mounting.
8. Adjust the tension adjustment screw (3/32 Allen) on the arm so that the arm height remains stable
when using the keyboard.
9 Tighten the set screws at the following locations:
• Monitor tilt turn mechanism to keyboard / monitor mounting bracket. (The monitor should not tilt or turn
easily)
• Keyboard / monitor mounting bracket to monitor arm. (The bracket with keyboard and monitor should
still turn)
• Monitor arm to mounting post. (The arm should still turn)
Step Action
1. Unpack the keyboard and the hand held bar code scanner.
2. Connect the scanner cable to the scanner, then connect the keyboard to the scanner cable.
3. Place the keyboard on the keyboard tray.
4. Place the keyboard overlay label over the upper row of function keys.
5. Place the bar code scanner in a convenient location.

Note:
• Do not connect the laser printer to the UPS. It will overload the UPS and cause a beep when printing.
• Connect the UPS internal battery and allow it to charge according to the UPS vendor instructions.
• The Power-Var power conditioner (for NAO only) is an isolation transformer used to keep instrument ground
leakage current within agency limits.
Step Action
1. Apply power to the Server Instrument, the Server PC, the monitor, and the network hub.
Notes:
• Do not power on other PCs or instruments yet, it will cause a network conflict.
