Maintaining Your System
Use proper care and maintenance to keep your SureScan Microarray Scanner System running
trouble-free. When in doubt about the use or care of the system, contact your local Agilent sales
and support center to answer your questions.
Scheduled software maintenance
Perform these tasks to help maintain the performance of your computer workstation and
operating system:
•
At least once a week, check disk space and archive data as needed.
•
Once a week delete any temporary files (*.mp, *.tmp files) from the C:\Temp folder.
Scheduled hardware maintenance
The SureScan Microarray Scanner System contains no user-serviceable parts.
Inspecting the vents
Good air flow through the scanner is essential to proper operation. Blocked vents can adversely
affect performance.
Check all vents weekly to ensure that they are not blocked by dust, debris, furniture, or other
instrumentation.
