Site Preparation

This section provides specifications and guidelines for preparing the site for installation and operation of the NextSeq 1000/2000 system.

For information on storage and example data usage, refer to Illumina Instrument Control Computer Security and Networking.

An authorized service provider delivers the system, uncrates components, and places the instrument on the lab bench. Make sure that the lab space and bench are ready before delivery.

Only 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, make sure that the path for data storage is selected before the date of installation. The Illumina representative can test the data transfer process during installation.

Access to instrument USB ports is required for installation, maintenance, and service.

After your Illumina representative has installed and prepared the instrument, do not relocate the instrument. Moving the instrument improperly can affect the optical alignment and compromise data integrity. If you have to relocate the instrument, contact your Illumina representative.
