How to Perform a Power Cycle for IC Instrumentation

This document details how to perform a partial and complete power cycle. 

  • Stop all hardware in MagIC Net.
  • Close MagIC Net.
  • Power off IC - the power switch is above the power cord. 
    • Do not pull power cable. 
    • Do not turn off power strip.
    • Wait at least 1 minute. 
  • Optional for a complete power cycle.
    • Power off computer - do not restart. 
    • Wait at least 1 minute. 
    • Power on computer.
    • Wait at least 2 minutes.
  • Power on IC.
  • Open MagIC Net.
  • Click Configuration tab.
    • All devices should be OK in approximately 2 minutes.

To check instrument functionality:

  • Click on Workplace > Start HW.
  • Verify pressure is good – as expected by 5 minutes.
  • If pressure is close to 0, purge pump.
  • Anion IC should be equilibrated for at least 30 minutes to ensure that all three chambers of the MSM rotor are functioning.
  • After 30 minutes, start sample table. Please note that if the MSM has just stepped, wait 30 seconds before clicking Start on sample table.
