Initialization

Initialize the PC

Upon powering your system, the PC runs through several self-
diagnostic tests to verify that the computer system is set up to run the
system software application.

‹

To initialize the PC:

1. Turn on the power button on the back of the Luminex 100

analyzer and turn on the PC. If you have these devices plugged
into a UPS or surge suppressor protector rather than directly into
the wall outlet, turn on the surge protection power strip power
switch.

2. The PC and system begin initializing automatically.

If the system initializes successfully, the software application
launches. If the system does not run through its initial tests
successfully, the software application does not launch and a warning
appears on your PC’s monitor screen.

The PC runs through the following tests during initialization:
