Maintenance
Maintenance procedures include manual instrument washes, replacing the air filter, and system software updates when available.
| • | Instrument washes—An automatic post-run wash after each sequencing run maintains instrument performance. However, a manual wash is required periodically under certain conditions. See Perform a Manual Wash. |
| • | Software updates—When an updated version of the system software is available, you can install the update automatically using one of the following two methods. |
| – | Through a connection to BaseSpace Sequencing Hub |
| – | Manually after you download the installer from the Illumina website. See Software Updates. |
| • | Air filter replacement—For instruments with an air filter that is accessible from the rear panel, regular replacement of the air filter ensures proper air flow through the instrument. |
