This section contains installation procedures for the Agilent 8890 GC. Depending on the

ordered options, some steps are optional, such as “plumbing” cryogenic cooling or valve

actuator air.

Instructions for connecting cables from the GC to other instruments in a typical 8890 Series

system are included here and in Appendix B, “Cabling Diagrams and Remote Start/Stop” on

page 69“.

1 Installing the GC

8Installation and First Startup

Overview of Installation

Purpose of this procedure

This procedure ensures that instruments and systems are installed and functioning as

designed. Correct installation is the first step in ensuring that instruments and systems

operate reliably over their lifetimes.

Customer responsibilities

1Make sure your site meets the basic requirements, including the necessary space,

electrical outlets, gases, tubing, operating supplies, consumables and other

usage-dependent items, required for a successful installation. Refer to the Agilent 8890

Gas Chromatograph GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation Guide.

2If Agilent is delivering installation and familiarization services, users of the instrument

should be present throughout these services; otherwise, these users will miss important

operational, maintenance, and safety information.

Additional information is available via the GC Touchscreen, Browser Interface help &

information suite, and the Agilent GC and GC/MS User Manuals & Tools DVD.

About Agilent’s installation service

The installation service does not include:

•Network setup with other computers, or to the site or building LAN.

•Customization of the system.

•Method development and testing.

•Analysis of customer standards or samples.

•Testing against the instrument performance specification.

If you need assistance beyond this installation service, please contact your local Agilent

office. Assistance with installation and with user-specific services and applications is

available and will be contracted separately.

Tools and additional parts required

Installation requires the following tools, fittings, and hardware. These items are not included

with the instrument.

•Precleaned copper tubing, 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch od.

•Fittings.

•Tubing cutter.

•Filters for gas supplies.

•7/16-inch and 9/16-inch wrenches for assembling Swagelok fittings.

•Carrier and other gas supplies.

1 Installing the GC

Installation and First Startup 9

•Pressure regulator for each gas supply.

•A computer, tablet, or other LAN capable device (for accessing GC user information and for

updating GC firmware when needed).

•Any additional LAN components, such as cables and a switch or hub, for connection to the

site LAN (not included in Agilent installation services).

The Agilent 8890 Gas Chromatograph GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation Guide contains a

listing of Agilent installation kits and a description of parts included with each kit. These kits

contain filters, fittings, tubing, tools (wrenches, tubing cutter, drivers, and so on), and other

required parts for installing a GC.

Performing checkout

Checkout requires a system that can produce a chromatogram.

•If using an Agilent data system, you can perform the checkout procedure. Read these GC

installation instructions and the instructions for installing the data system.

•If connected only to an integrator or site system (for example, a LIMS system) that

captures the GC output signal, you must connect to that system to obtain the

chromatogram.

System installation

If installing an ALS, the ALS can be used for checkout. Refer to the ALS installation

documentation for details.

When installed as part of a complete system including an Agilent data system (for example,

Agilent OpenLAB CDS), first install the GC up to the checkout column bakeout step. Once the

bakeout ends, configure the new GC in the data system and open the online instrument

session. Use the data system to perform the checkout test.

When installed as part of other complete systems, for example in an Agilent GC/MSD or

GC/MS system, refer to the installation instructions for that system.

Configuring the GC

To configure the various components of your GC, you must use either the Touchscreen or

access the Browser Interface from a computer on the same network as your GC. For more

information about connecting to the Browser Interface, see “Connecting to the Browser

Interface”.

To access the copy of this manual stored on your GC, enter http://<your GC’s IP

address>/install into the web browser of your choice.

1 Installing the GC

10 Installation and First Startup

Connecting to the Browser Interface

To connect to the GC using a browser:

1If you do not know the GC's IP address or host name, use the touchscreen to find it.

2Open a web browser. Supported browsers include Chrome, Safari (on a tablet), Internet

Explorer 11, and Edge. Make sure the browser version is up to date.

3Enter http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx, where xxx.xx.xx.xxx is the GC's IP address. (If

using a host name, enter it instead.) In this example, the GC IP address is 10.1.1.101.

Accessing the Browser Interface only requires that the tablet or computer be connected to

the same gateway as the GC; no internet connection is required.
