TIP
Prepare the computer in advance of any new installation.
NOTE
Note for FAIMS Users
Please reboot the FAIMS unit after the installation of the Orbitrap Exploris Series 4.4 Instrument Control Software (switch Main Control Box off and on). The new Orbitrap Exploris Series 4.4 Instrument Control Software provides a firmware update for the FAIMS unit, which is mandatory to support the new improvements and defect fixes for FAIMS Pro and the new FAIMS Pro Duo interface.
This guidance addresses a standard installation of a Windows computer acting as an access point for Orbitrap Exploris Series based instruments. The current software version is 4.4. The guidance is valid at least up to this version. There are differences between nearly all computers, so even if you have a receipt of installation, be aware that the operating system or language settings might be different. The current explanations have Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016, LTSC 2019 or LTSC 2021 and English in focus.
Thermo Fisher Scientific does not accept any warranty claims about the completeness of this instruction list. Consulting a Thermo Fisher Scientific support team member of Orbitrap Exploris Series instruments is highly recommended for setting up a new PC.
