For optimum security, keep your systems up to date with the latest Windows monthly rollups and security-only updates. However, there is always a risk that an update may affect the operation of Chromeleon. For example, database transactions could be interrupted by updating Microsoft SQL Server™ Express, or instrument control could be interrupted while related system components are being updated.
NOTE
Thermo Fisher Scientific does not formally validate Windows monthly rollups or security-only updates. Installation and testing of monthly rollups and security-only updates is the responsibility of the respective installation site. Compatibility with every monthly rollup or security-only update cannot be guaranteed.
Install Windows monthly rollups and security-only updates as soon as practicable to keep the window of vulnerability as small as possible. You should briefly test the monthly rollup or security-only update in the context of the laboratory’s installation and operating procedures.
Procedure
- Install the Windows monthly rollup or security-only update and Chromeleon on a test PC.
- Run a Chromeleon installation qualification (IQ) and a Chromeleon operational qualification (OQ) in the Chromeleon Console via Tools > Station Qualification. More information on station qualification is provided in the Chromeleon 7 Help > Administering Chromeleon > Station Qualification.
- Perform further performance qualification tests according to the routines in your laboratory.
