Site Preparation
This section provides specifications and guidelines for preparing a site for installation and operation of NovaSeq X and NovaSeq X Plus Sequencing Systems.
Delivery and Installation
An Illumina representative delivers the system, uncrates components, and places the instrument. Make sure that the lab space is ready before delivery.
The crated instrument requires at least 160 cm (63 in) doorway and elevator clearance. The uncrated instrument requires at least 89 cm (35 in) doorway and elevator clearance. If the doorway or elevator clearance is less than the amount required, contact your Illumina representative.
Floor loading risks related to instrument installation must be evaluated and addressed by building facility personnel.
Only Illumina authorized personnel can uncrate, install, or move the instrument. Mishandling of the instrument can affect the alignment or damage instrument components.
An Illumina representative installs and prepares the instrument. When connecting the instrument to a data management system or remote network location, the path for data storage must be selected before the date of installation. The Illumina representative can test the data transfer process during installation.
After your Illumina representative has installed and prepared the instrument, do not relocate it. Moving the instrument improperly can affect the optical alignment and compromise data integrity. If you must relocate the instrument, contact your Illumina representative.
Crate Dimensions and Content
The sequencing system and components are shipped in two crates. Use the following dimensions to determine the minimum door width required to accommodate the shipping crates.
For Crate #1, the forklift access points are on the depth side of the crate. Make sure to check doorway and elevator clearance when transporting the instrument in the crate.
