System Administrator's Checklist

Installation and Setup

1. If you have not already done so, follow the instructions to Install the Software on one computer.
2. Start the LHC and log in using the default Administrator account. Both the User Name and Password are "admin."

3. Select System > Security > Users. Change the default Administrator's password. Make a note of the new password. If you forget or lose it, you will have to contact Agilent to login to the software.

5. Select System > Security > Settings. Review and, if necessary, revise the Security Settings . (Click the Help button on each dialog for assistance.)
6. Create a user account for each person who will use the LHC. Assign a generic password and advise users to change their password when they login.
7. Determine the optimal location for the LHC database, and, if applicable:

• Copy Database to Network

8. Install LHC Secure on each user's computer, and, if applicable:

• Configure PCs to use the database

Upgrading to a new LHC version?

You must perform some related tasks when upgrading your version of LHC Secure: See When Upgrading LHC Secure.

Additional considerations

• Design and implement a routine for monitoring records and maintaining the database.
• Regularly back up protocol files.
• Ensure your standard operating procedures comply with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
• Consider using the "lock keypad" control available for most Agilent liquid handlers to further enforce your protocol change-control practices.
