Installing the Computer DX-LAN Card

Doc. 031832-01 6/02 5

4.2 Installing the DX-LAN Card in the Computer

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cord.

2. Remove the computer cover.

3. Locate an empty expansion slot into which the DX-LAN card will fit. Use the type of slot appropriate for the card (either ISA or PCI). If several slots are empty, leave as much space as possible around each installed card to ensure adequate air circulation.

4. Unscrew and remove the metal filler bracket that covers the rear panel opening for the selected expansion slot. Save the screw.

5. Carefully slide the DX-LAN card into the slot, aligning the card's metal mounting bracket with the expansion slot opening on the rear panel.

6. Align the card's bottom edge connectors with the connectors on the motherboard. Firmly push the card into the motherboard connectors until the card is fully seated.

7. Use the saved screw to secure the card's metal mounting bracket to the expansion slot.

8. Replace the computer cover and any cables you removed.

To prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the DX-LAN card'selectronic components, use an electrostatic grounding strap duringthe installation. If one is not available, do the following: beforeremoving the card from its anti-static bag, touch the computer's metalframe to discharge any static electricity from your body.

DO NOT TURN ON THE COMPUTER until after the DX-LAN network isconnected (see Section 5) and the power is turned on to at least oneof the DX-800 analyzer modules. This ensures that correctcommunication is established between the DX-LAN card and the DX-800 Analyzer modules.

5 Connecting the DX-LAN Network

The DX-LAN network consists of a PeakNet-PA workstation and the devices in each DX-800 analyzer channel. For example, a network might consist of a workstation, a component controller, a detector, a pump, and an EG40-PA eluent generator.

Each device (including the workstation) must be equipped with a DX-LAN interface card, and either a BNC connector or a 10BASE-T RJ-45 (telephone-style) connector. The channel’s AE80 enclosure is equipped with either two BNC connectors (In and Out) or one 10BASE-T RJ-45 connector.

A DX-LAN network can include 10BASE-T devices only, BNC devices only, or a combination of 10BASE-T and BNC devices. The installation procedure varies, depending on the type(s) of DX-LAN devices on the network.

• For an overview of how to connect a 10BASE-T network, see Section 5.1.• For an overview of how to connect a BNC network, see Section 5.2.• For examples of various network configurations, see Section 5.3.

Setting Up the Database

Doc. 031832-01 6/02 27

8 Setting Up the Database

After each run, PeakNet-PA automatically exports sample data to an ODBC-supported database. The database information is then reported to the InTouch program where it is displayed in the Sample Results and the Component Trending screens. The data is also used for printing scheduled reports.

For correct operation of PeakNet-PA, a database program that supports ODBC (for example, Microsoft Access) must be installed on the PeakNet-PA workstation. In addition, PeakNet-PA must be set up as a data source for the database.

If Access is not already installed on the workstation, run the Microsoft Office setup and select the following options:

• Microsoft Access • Converters, Filters, and Data AccessIf you plan to use another ODBC-supported database, follow the installation instructions supplied with that database.

After the database and ODBC driver are installed, an ODBC icon will appear in the Windows Control Panel.

Optimization Note:

The PeakNet-PA database file (peaknet-pa.mdb) is copied to the c:\peaknet\database folder during PeakNet-PA setup. This database file can become quite large over time. If a drive with more free space than the C: drive is available, move peaknet-pa.mdb to the alternate drive before completing the following data source setup procedure.

For example, if the computer has a C: drive with 1GB of free space and a D: drive with 6GB of free space, move peaknet-pa.mdb to a folder on the D: drive (for example, D:\PNdatabase).

You can also specify an alternate drive for storing data files. See “MainMenu Program - Selecting Options” in the online Help for details.
