Preparing for Empower software
For all configurations, except an Empower Personal workstation, a network is required in your facility so that the Workgroups and/or the Empower
Enterprise system can function. Waters personnel do not run or install network cabling.
Tip: If your Waters technical service representative has already installed and configured the system for you, proceed to
“Powering-on the system” on page 2-23 .
Recommendation: Before installing any hardware or software, perform a full backup of your hard drives (see the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your computer).
Selecting the site
Locate the Empower system in a clean area, free from shock, vibration, and extremes of temperature and humidity.
Environmental requirements
The Empower system is designed to operate within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
• Temperature: 10 to 31°C (50 to 88°F)
• Humidity: 20 to 80% relative humidity, noncondensing, maximum wet bulb of 25°C and minimum dew point of 2°C
Acceptable temperature and humidity ranges vary according to the model of computer and printer.
Protect equipment from direct sunlight, heat registers, or air conditioning vents.
Bench space
Allow sufficient bench space for the Empower Personal workstation,
Workgroup, or client computers (keyboard, monitor, system unit, and printer) as recommended in the documentation supplied with the computer. You can place the computers on the lab bench or on a desktop near the chromatography instrumentation. The total bench space you require depends
2-2 Installing and configuring the hardware
upon the number of devices you plan to configure (pumps, detectors, autosamplers, eSAT/IN modules, and so on).
Cable lengths
Arrange the components of your chromatographic system to minimize cable lengths. Use optimal cable lengths to ensure proper signal transmission.
Maximum cable lengths are listed in the table on
Instrument arrangement
Make sure the ventilation slots on all instruments are not blocked. Allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space on all sides of each instrument to ensure adequate air flow.
For information on the best arrangement of your Empower system and connected instruments, consult your Waters technical service representative.
Installing and configuring computer systems
This section describes the process for installing and configuring the Empower computer systems and other components.
Empower Personal workstation
The Empower Personal workstation supports these cards:
• A busLAC/E (IEEE-488 interface) card for connecting Waters
IEEE-488 devices
• An optional 8-port serial card for connecting 6890 GCs or other supported serial instruments
• A second network interface card for Ethernet instruments
To install and set up the Empower Personal workstation
1.
Unpack and place the workstation in the desired location.
2.
Attach the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the workstation.
3.
To install other computer peripherals such as a printer or optional tape drive, see the installation documentation supplied with the device.
Installing and configuring computer systems 2-3
4.

Optional interface cards
You can directly connect to the COM port on an Empower Personal workstation or an acquisition client without a busLAC/E card when you are acquiring data from a SAT/IN2 Module and a 474 Detector.
busLAC/E card
The busLAC/E card is a microprocessor-based interface card that transmits commands from Empower software to detectors, autosamplers, pumps, and other devices over the IEEE-488 and custom interfaces via an IEEE-488 cable.
Data from the devices are transmitted through the busLAC/E card to the computer for analysis.
The Empower Personal workstation can use a busLAC/E card to function with
Empower. Chromatographic devices can connect to the busLAC/E card.
Installing and configuring computer systems 2-5
The busLAC/E card performs two primary functions:
• Acquires data from a detector and transmits the data to the computer
• Controls chromatographic devices
A maximum total aggregate data rate of 400 points per second applies to all detectors connected to the busLAC/E card per four systems per four projects, except in configurations including a PDA detector or configurations with a combination of LC and GC instrumentation. The following table describes the exceptions to the data rate for each instrument type.
Data rates for busLAC/E card connections

When you perform a two-system acquisition (one system being a 600/717/486 and the other system being 2695/996 or 2695/2996), the maximum data rate for the 486-based system should be 2 points per second and for the 996- or 2996-based system, 5 spectra per second, with 1.2-nm resolution and a wavelength range of 190 to 800 nm.
8-port serial card
The 8-port serial card transmits commands from Empower to the serial instrument. Data from the chromatograph are transmitted to Empower for analysis through a single port on the 8-port serial card.
The card has eight possible serial connections. Each instrument type requires one connection. The 8-port serial card can connect to the following supported instruments, with the restrictions as indicated:
• 5890S/7673S systems (maximum of four)
• 6890 instruments (maximum of four)
• 6890/SAT/IN2 systems (maximum of four)
• SAT/IN2 instruments (maximum of eight; to be used as four multi-channel systems)
Tip: “S” and “2” designate that the instrument is connected through the 8-port serial card.
To install the 8-port serial card in the computer, see the installation instructions provided with the 8-port serial card.
Restriction: Do not use the Equinox driver provided by Microsoft Windows.
During the first power-up after installing the serial card, Microsoft Windows detects the new hardware and automatically installs a driver version for the
Equinox card.
Requirement: You must update this driver to a supported version. See
“Updating the Equinox driver” on page 7-2
for instructions.
Installing and configuring computer systems 2-7
Network interface card for Ethernet instruments
A client, LAC/E
32
, and/or Personal workstation can use an additional network interface card (NIC) to communicate with Ethernet instruments (such as the e-SAT/IN or 2475 detector). You must assign an IP address to this network card (also called an instrument network card) so that it can assign IP addresses to your Ethernet instruments. To set the IP address, Empower software must first be installed on the client, LAC/E
32
, or workstation. Use the
Configure DHCP tab of the Empower Node Properties page in Configuration
Manager to configure the IP address. For details, see the Ethernet Instrument
Getting Started Guide or see the topic “Configuring chromatographic instruments” in the Empower Help.
Connecting IEEE-488 chromatographic devices
Use this section to connect the IEEE-488 components of your chromatographic system to the busLAC/E card in an Empower Personal workstation or a
LAC/E
32 module.
busLAC/E card connections
The busLAC/E card connects to peripheral devices through two ports on the rear edge of the card as follows:
• IEEE-488 port – Used for connecting to IEEE-488-controlled devices such as these:
• Waters 2690/2695 Separations Module
• Waters 996/2996 PDA Detector
• Waters 717plus Autosampler
• Waters 2487 Dual
λ
Absorbance Detector
• I/O distribution port – Used for connecting to serial devices, such as the
Waters busSAT/IN Module
Tip: For a complete list of devices supported by the Empower system, see
“Devices supported by Empower” on page 1-9 .
An IEEE-488 cable connects the 2690/2695 Separations Modules, 996/2996
PDA Detectors, 2487 Absorbance Detectors, and other IEEE-488 devices to the busLAC/E card.
2-8 Installing and configuring the hardware
An I/O distribution cable connects the I/O distribution box to the I/O distribution port of the busLAC/E card. Serial instruments and devices, including the busSAT/IN Module, connect to the busLAC/E card through the
I/O distribution box.
busLAC/E card port connections
Empower software supports the use of one 996/2996 PDA Detector at a full data rate of 10 spectra/sec. At that rate, the software can support one additional chromatographic system with a data rate of 10 points/sec. If you use a 996/2996 PDA detector at half spectra or a data rate of 5 spectra/sec, you can run three additional chromatographic systems with an aggregate data rate of 30 points/sec.
Interface overview
The IEEE-488 bus is an instrument interface that connects devices using one communication protocol. In the Empower system, the IEEE-488 interface connects Waters IEEE-488 chromatography devices to the busLAC/E card.
The busLAC/E card is an instrument controller, assigning the role of active talker or listener to each attached device on the IEEE-488 bus. Each instrument designated as an active talker supplies information to the other
Connecting IEEE-488 chromatographic devices 2-9
devices on the IEEE-488 bus. Each device designated as a listener receives information from an active talker device. Only one active talker is allowed at a time, but several listeners can be active simultaneously.
Interface guidelines
According to IEEE-488 protocol specifications, use the following guidelines:
• Always keep all devices powered-on while your system is in use.
• The maximum number of devices that you can connect to form one interface system is 15 (14 instruments plus the busLAC/E card).
• The maximum total cable length connecting the devices and the busLAC/E card in one interface system is 2 meters (6.5 feet) multiplied by the number of devices, or 20 meters (65 feet), whichever is smaller
(see the
table titled “Maximum cable lengths for IEEE-488 devices” on page 1-10 ).
• The maximum cable length between two devices is 4 meters (13 feet).
• The minimum cable length between two devices is 1 meter (3.25 feet)
Caution: Cable lengths greater than the maximum values or less than the minimum values can cause IEEE-488 communication failures.
• Use addresses 2 through 29 for instruments.
Recommendation: Use IEEE addresses 9 and above, spacing the addresses by a difference of 2. Example: 9, 11, 13, and so on.
Tip:
For details on setting IEEE-488 device addresses, see “Setting
IEEE-488 device addresses” on page 2-13 .
• While a system is active on the IEEE-488 bus, do not power-on or power-off any device on the bus.
Making cable connections
The Empower system supports the Waters IEEE-488 devices listed in the table on
To connect IEEE-488 devices
1.
Connect the single-receptacle end of the IEEE-488 cable (supplied with the Empower system) to the busLAC/E card.
2-10 Installing and configuring the hardware
Example of IEEE-488 cable connections
2.
Connect the other end of the IEEE-488 cable (with the stackable connector for daisy-chaining additional instruments) to the IEEE-488 connector on an instrument.
3.
Use one end of another IEEE-488 cable to connect to the stackable connector on the first instrument. Connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE-488 port on the next instrument.
4.
Repeat step 3 for each additional instrument, up to 14 IEEE-488
instruments. See the
table titled “Maximum cable lengths for IEEE-488 devices” on page 1-10 for cable-length limitations.
Tip: The order in which you connect IEEE-488 devices to the busLAC/E card is not important. For example, you can connect the injector before or after the detector.
5.
Ensure that all IEEE-488 cable connector screws are fastened finger-tight.
Connecting IEEE-488 chromatographic devices 2-11
Making device connections
PCM connections
The Waters Pump Control Module (PCM) is an IEEE-488 device that controls the 500-series pumps. Connect the PCM to the IEEE-488 bus as described in
“Interface overview” on page 2-9 .
TCM connections
The Waters Temperature Control Module (TCM) is an IEEE-488 device that regulates the temperature of as many as three column heaters. Connect the
TCM to the IEEE-488 bus as described in
“Interface overview” on page 2-9 .
Pump connections
If you are using a 2690/2695, 600-series pump (Waters 600E, 616, 625 LC,
626, 650E, ActION Analyzer, Delta Prep, and Prep LC), you can connect to the busLAC/E card through the IEEE-488 port or to other IEEE-488 devices in a stacked configuration (see
“Interface overview” on page 2-9 ).
Requirement: If you are using a PowerLine™/Gradient version of software on your 600-series multisolvent delivery system, configure the controller software as a Gradient controller via the front panel keypad (not via Empower software). See the appropriate operator's guide for information on configuring the controller.
Injector connections
Detectors and system controllers that are not controlled by an Empower system (for example, 2690/2695, 600-series controller, and GC) require an inject-start trigger signal (contact closure) from the injector as each injection occurs. The inject-start trigger signal instructs detectors and system controllers to acquire data or run methods.
Waters autosamplers transmit the inject-start signal over the IEEE-488 bus or by trigger wire. If you connect a Waters 2690/2695, 717, or 717plus to an
IEEE-488 interface, you need not make additional connections for an inject-start signal.
When under IEEE-488 control, the 2690/2695 Sample Management System,
717, and 717plus Autosamplers transmit the inject-start signal directly over the IEEE-488 bus during data acquisition. All controlled devices are triggered simultaneously when an injection is made by these instruments. Trigger wires
2-12 Installing and configuring the hardware
are not required when all instruments in a chromatographic system are controlled over the IEEE-488 bus.
Requirement: Any instrument not controlled by Empower software requires an inject-start trigger wire connection.
Detector connections
Detectors with an installed IEEE-488 interface can be connected directly to
the busLAC/E card as described in “Interface overview” on page 2-9
.
Setting IEEE-488 device addresses
You must set a unique address for each device connected on the IEEE-488 bus so that the busLAC/E card recognizes each device. Valid IEEE-488 instrument addresses are 2 through 29. Set the IEEE-488 addresses of the Waters instruments in your system through either the software or DIP switches.
Recommendation: Use IEEE addresses 9 and above, spacing the addresses by a difference of 2. Example: 9, 11, 13, and so on.

Setting IEEE-488 addresses using software
To set an IEEE-488 address using software, set the address from the front panel of the device. See the operator's guide for a particular device for detailed instructions on setting the IEEE-488 address.
Scanning the IEEE-488 bus
After you set the IEEE-488 address for a device, the busLAC/E card must scan the IEEE-488 bus. To scan the IEEE-488 bus, see “Configuring chromatographic instruments” in the Empower Help.
Tip: For the LAC/E
32
module with the WatersService, the busLAC/E card automatically scans the IEEE-488 bus on startup.
Setting IEEE-488 addresses using DIP switches
To set an address
1.
Ensure that no instruments are connected to the busLAC/E card.
2.
Power-off the IEEE-488 device.
3.
Using the DIP switches on the rear panel of the device (see the figure, above), set a unique IEEE-488 address for the device.
Tip: Although there are 28 valid addresses (2 through 29), IEEE-488 protocol allows up to 14 devices.

Connecting non IEEE-488 chromatographic devices
Some non IEEE-488 devices produce analog output signals. A busSAT/IN
Module converts the analog output signals to digital signals, then transmits them to the busLAC/E card. The busLAC/E card is connected to an I/O distribution box. Supported non IEEE-488 chromatography devices connect through a network interface card (NIC), an optional 8-port serial card, an I/O distribution box, or a PC COM port.
Ethernet instruments
Ethernet instruments can connect directly to the network interface card in the computer. If you are connecting multiple Ethernet instruments, use a
Waters-supplied switch to connect the Ethernet cable from the computer to the switch, and then plug each instrument into the switch.
Tips:
• A single direct Ethernet connection can require crossover cables to control your A1100, 6850, or EMD 1000.
• Multiple Ethernet connections using a switch can require crossover cables to control the ZQ mass spectrometer through a network switch.
Modifying or resetting the link speed and duplex properties of your network interface card (NIC) to Auto Detect can also be necessary. In both cases, if you are using more than one NIC, you can modify the settings for a second NIC using the DHCP wizard, after you install
Empower software.
2-16 Installing and configuring the hardware
8-Port serial card instruments
The 8-port cable connects directly to the Equinox serial card. Insert the RJ45 cable into Port 1 of the 8-port cable. Depending on the instrument you are controlling, the other end of the cable connects directly to the instrument or to the instrument via a cable adapter. Use Waters-supplied adapters for this connection.
Tip: Port 1 on the Equinox cable gives an address of 3 in Empower software.
busLAC/E I/O distribution box
The I/O distribution box connects to the busLAC/E card. Non IEEE-488 chromatography devices communicate with the busLAC/E card through the
I/O distribution box over serial cables. The I/O distribution box allows you to connect up to four non IEEE-488 devices and up to eight non IEEE-488 detectors using busSAT/IN Modules.

Restriction: Mass spectrometers cannot be connected to a LAC/E
32
module.
Rule: Examples in this section reflect the current system configuration. The specific type of network card that is shipped from Waters is subject to change at any time.
The computer requires two network cards:
• MS network card, such as the Intel PRO/100 VM Network Connection, for connecting the Mass Spectrometer to the computer
• Network card, such as the Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter, for connecting to your facility’s network
Requirement: If you want to switch among using an SQD, TQD, 3100, ZQ
2000, ZQ 4000, or an EMD 1000, you must perform these actions:
• Uninstall the existing instrument driver (ID)/instrument control software (ICS) for the first mass detector.
• Install the ID/ICS for the second mass detector.
• Configure the new system.
If you obtain the computer (Empower Personal workstation or acquisition client) from Waters, the network cards are installed and configured before shipment to you. If you installed your own network cards, use these instructions as a guideline.

Powering-on the system
Powering-on the Empower system entails powering-on the individual instruments and devices in a particular sequence.
This section contains the startup sequence for the Empower system and its peripheral equipment.
Tip: For information on starting up the Empower Enterprise client/server system, see the Empower 2 System Administrator’s Guide, Revision B.
Caution: Ensure that the computer’s power supply is set to the correct voltage for your site. If it is set incorrectly, your computer can be damaged.
Powering-on the system 2-23
To power-on instruments and devices
1.
Power-on all equipment controlled through the IEEE-488 bus, waiting until any internal diagnostic tests finish.
Restriction: You cannot run methods or use Run Samples unless all devices on the IEEE-488 bus that are assigned to a system on the
Empower system are powered-on and have successfully completed any calibration tests.
Requirement: Power-on the pumps of an LC system first to establish a flow before powering-on the detectors. Also, ensure that the carrier gas is flowing before powering-on GC instruments. Do not power-on (or power-off) instruments connected to a bus running any systems.
2.
Power-on the computers.
3.
Power-on all equipment controlled by the Empower system that is not under IEEE-488 control; that is, all equipment controlled through the
I/O distribution box (busSAT/IN Modules, connected analog detectors, and GC instruments).

3-6 Installing an Empower Personal workstation
Installing Empower Personal Base Package Key and options
About licenses and options
With Empower 2 Feature Release 5, Waters introduces a new Software
License Management System for managing Waters software licenses and options. You must install the Empower base license to access Empower and install other licenses and options.
Empower 2 FR 5 Personal workstations on Windows XP can use the new
License Management System or the license floppy key disks, but you cannot use both.
Restriction: You cannot use both procedures to install Empower licenses and options. If you install licenses or options using the key disks, you cannot use the Waters Licensing Wizard to install additional licenses or options. If you already used key disks and you want to use the Wizard, you must remove the licenses or options you installed using the key disks. Then you must use the
Wizard to activate all your licenses and options. Once you do so, you must also the Wizard to deactivate them.
To view active licenses and options, use the Show Licenses option in the
Waters Licensing Wizard. This option is available whether you use the key disks or the Wizard to activate your licenses and options.
Serial numbers purchased from Waters to use with the Waters Licensing
Wizard or the key disks are required for activating or deactivating the
Empower licenses and options. If you need to transfer a license or option from one Empower Personal workstation to another, you must deactivate it from the original Personal workstation before you activate it in a new Personal workstation.
Activate licenses and options in the following order:
• Base license (includes 5 named user licenses)
• Named User Licenses (if you purchased additional licenses)
• System Control Licenses
• Options
Installing Empower Personal Base Package Key and options 3-7
The number of allowed named users is based on the number of Named User
Licenses you installed. You can create a number of active accounts equal to the number of Named User Licenses you purchased.
The number of allowed online systems (up to a maximum of 4) is based on the number of System Licenses you activated.
Caution: Do not uninstall Empower software until after you uninstall the licenses and options, or they become unusable.
Requirement: If you are using key disks, the computer must write to the key disk as you manage licenses. Do not write-protect the key disk.
For project-configurable options, when you activate an option following the procedures in this section, project-specific options are enabled for all projects.
You can disable the option for specific projects (see “Modifying project properties” in the Empower Help).
Exception: You cannot activate an option intended for an Enterprise or
Workgroup system on an Empower Personal workstation, nor can you activate an option intended for an Empower Personal workstation on an Enterprise or
Workgroup system.
Tip: In some cases, during installation you will see a pop-up message indicating that the Waters Licensing Wizard has detected one or more licenses that still remain on your system. This may happen even after all key disks have been manually uninstalled. If you have not manually uninstalled all key disks, click No, and continue to manually uninstall all key disks. If you have manually uninstalled all available key disks, click Yes to remove any remaining licenses/options and open the Licensing Wizard.

This chapter explains how to perform a standard installation of the
Oracle
®
software and the Empower 2 Feature Release 5 software on a
Windows server in an Empower Enterprise system or on a primary
Empower workgroup computer.
Recommendation: Before installing any hardware or software, perform a full backup of your hard drives (see the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your computer).

Server planning
The database server runs two applications:
• WatersService – Responsible for writing raw data files from Empower nodes, copying raw data from project to project (through the Empower application), and creating new projects.
• Oracle Database – Stores methods, audit trails, and specific raw data file parameters (the data points are stored as external files controlled by
WatersService).
The Empower server installation program reads the amount of physical memory that your system contains, then automatically configures the Oracle initialization parameters based on available resources.
The installation program assumes that the server is used exclusively as the
Empower database server. Other applications running on the server can necessitate your adjusting the initialization parameters accordingly.
Network considerations
A domain-based network infrastructure is required for the Empower
Enterprise/Workgroup system. In addition, all Empower-related computers
(clients, LAC/E
32
modules, and servers) must be synchronized to a time server.
In domains based on Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003, the domain controllers are automatically configured to act as time servers to the domain.
To maximize service time and minimize issues related to the network environment, Waters recommends you follow these guidelines:
• All Empower-related accounts, computers and users, must reside within the same domain.
• If you are using real-time virus scanning, exclude all Empower-related folders and their sub-directories. Some real-time virus scanners mistake normal Empower operations for virus activity and can therefore interfere with data buffering.
Group policy objects
System administrators use Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to define and enforce settings in an Active Directory network. Administrators can apply settings to
4-2 Installing an Empower Enterprise server or primary workgroup on a Windows server
users and computers based on locally defined group and site membership criteria. Before defining GPOs in an Empower network, keep in mind that
Empower software is a distributed chromatography data acquisition system that relies on remote access and the DCOM configuration to carry out its activities. Empower software makes use of information stored in the database and in individual flat files, such as instsrv.dat (instrument configuration information) and channel_id.dat (actual raw data file).
If GPOs are used in an Empower network, Waters recommends that you follow these guidelines:
• Place Empower nodes in their own Organization Unit (OU). Define
GPOs for the OU that minimize allowable changes: for example, test
Microsoft hot fixes and service packs before applying them to the environment.
• Grant administrators full access to the registry and file system so that they can properly install software.
• Limit changes to the file system protections expected by the Empower application.
GPOs can interfere with successful Empower operation. For example, data buffering can occur if the anonymous access to the raw data share is altered, or the editors for the COM instruments can sometimes operate improperly if the access control list for the HTML directories is altered.
Memory considerations
The server in an Enterprise system or workgroup requires sufficient memory for Oracle 10.2.0.3 and Empower software to operate. The amount of required memory depends on the number of applications, users, and the operating system. The largest quantity of memory is used by Oracle. When Oracle initializes, it creates a space in memory for most of the Oracle functions. The space is called the SGA (for more information about the SGA, see the Oracle documentation or your database administrator). The server must have adequate memory, and the memory must be configured correctly. The amount of required memory depends on the number of client and LAC/E
32
modules, users, chromatograms per project, and the number of integrated peaks per channel.
The server’s virtual memory must be set to at least four times the amount of
installed physical memory (see “Changing the page file size” on page 6-2
).

Disk space considerations

2. Each archive log file is 200 MB. The 10.0 GB minimum allows for 50 archive logs.
You must install the various software components on multiple drives to maximize performance and also the ability to recover from disk failures. The previous table contains the minimum requirements at installation. However, you must also account for additional disk space when the system is operational.
You must consider the following items when sizing drives for future use:
• Empower program files
• Empower raw data files
• Empower database
Empower program files
• Empower and Oracle application files – Fixed size at installation, approximately 1.6 GB.
• Archive log files – 200 MB each; allow space for at least 50 logs (10 GB total disk space). The number of archive logs you generate will depend on the level of database activity. The number of archive logs maintained on the server depends on how often the database is backed up as well as
4-4 Installing an Empower Enterprise server or primary workgroup on a Windows server
overall activity. If you perform daily backups, the archive logs files are deleted after they are backed up.
Tip: Each of the two locations for archive logs contains a full set of logs.
Archive logs are essential for recovering databases. If you fill the space for archive logs, the database “hangs” until you provide more space for the logs.
Empower raw data files
The size of the Empower chromatography raw data files is variable, based approximately on (sample rate) times (run time) times (number of samples).
PDA and MS files are bigger because wavelength and mass range must be included. The total space requirement is based on how often you archive and how many systems are creating raw data files.
Tip: Raw data files can grow very quickly. Hundreds of GB may be needed. If you use up too much space, you can archive older projects to regain space on the raw data drive.
Empower database
The database datafiles are configured to autoextend. As projects, raw data files, and results are created, the initial database datafile must autoextend to store all information.
Tip: The amount of free disk space will limit the extension of the database files. You might need to add additional tablespace files to other disks with more space, or free up space on the original disk to allow for adequate extension.
Most information stored in the database consists of results. The actual tablespace used for each result is based on the number of integrated peaks
(named or unknowns). Additional space is required when the System
Suitability or Pattern Match option is enabled, or the data is from a 3D detector, and additional processing is requested (for example, a PDA channel with multi-pass purity enabled).
Installing Empower 2 FR 5 software
Exception: If you are performing an upgrade, do not continue with this procedure. See the Empower 2 Feature Release 5 Upgrade Guide, Revision A for upgrade procedures.
Installing Empower 2 FR 5 software 4-5
Waters supplies Oracle software and Empower 2 FR5 software on a DVD.
Procedures in this chapter assume that you want to install Oracle automatically using default settings. Allow approximately 45 minutes to install the software.
By default, the Empower installer installs both Oracle 10.2.0.3 and Empower
2 FR 5. If your site has its own Oracle license and prefers to install Oracle
10.2.0.3 as a separate application, consider these installation issues:
• Install Oracle 10.2.0.3 software only (that is, without a database) before installing Empower 2. Ensure that the name of the Oracle Home contains the number 10.
• The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\NLS_Lang registry key value must be changed to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1.

Installing Empower licenses and options
You must install the Empower base license to access Empower and install other licenses and options. You can install these licenses and options by using the Waters Licensing Wizard or by using key disks.
Tips:
• If you are using key disks, ensure they are stored in an accessible but secure location.
• Record your license numbers and store them in a secure location.
Restrictions:
• You cannot use the Waters Licensing Wizard on computers with a
Windows 2000 Server operating system.
• You cannot use both procedures to install Empower licenses and options.
If you install licenses/options using the key disks, you cannot use the
Waters Licensing Wizard to install additional licenses/options. If you have already used key disks and you want to use the Licensing Wizard, you must remove the licenses/options you installed using the key disks and then use the Wizard to activate all your licenses and options. Once you use the Licensing Wizard to activate your licenses and options, you can no longer use the key disk procedure.
To view active licenses and options, use the Show Licenses option in the
Waters Licensing wizard. This is available whether you use either the key disks or the Wizard to activate your licenses and options.
Serial numbers purchased from Waters to use with the Waters Licensing
Wizard or the key disks are required for activating or deactivating the
Empower licenses and options. If you need to transfer a license or option from
4-14 Installing an Empower Enterprise server or primary workgroup on a Windows server
one Empower server to another, you must deactivate it from the original
Enterprise system before you activate it in a new Enterprise system.
Requirement: If you are using key disks, the computer must write to each key disk as you manage licenses. Do not write-protect the key disks.
Install licenses and options in the following order:
• Base license
• Named User Licenses
• Concurrent Users (Workgroup only)
• System Control Licenses
• Options
The number of allowed named users in the database is based on the number of
Named User Licenses you installed. The number of active accounts cannot exceed the number of Named User Licenses you purchased. You install the licenses, install all options, and then set up your named accounts (as many as the total of Named User Licenses).
The number of allowed online systems in the database is based on the number of System Licenses you have activated.
Caution: Do not uninstall Empower until after you uninstall all licenses and options, or they become unusable.
Exception: You cannot activate an option intended for an Enterprise or
Workgroup system on an Empower Personal workstation, nor can you activate an option intended for an Empower Personal workstation on an Enterprise or
Workgroup system.
For project configurable options, once you install an option using the procedures in this section, the option is enabled for all projects. You can disable the option for specific projects (see “Modifying project properties” in the Empower Help).

Introduction
This chapter describes software version information and installation guidelines for using a Sun
™
server to host the Empower database. It is not intended to provide installation and configuration instructions for the Sun
Solaris
™
operating system or Oracle Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.3 (except for
Empower-specific items). For information on a Sun server or Solaris 10 operating system installation, see the Sun Microsystems product documentation. For detailed information about configuring the environment for the Oracle Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.3 installation, see the Oracle Quick
Installation Guide.
The Empower 2 software runs in a Microsoft Windows-based environment.
The Empower 2 UNIX product installs the Oracle database on a Solaris server running the Solaris 10 operating system. All other components of the system
(clients, LAC/E
32
modules, and file servers) must run on Windows.
Installing the Empower 2 UNIX product
Waters supplies Oracle software and Empower database software on a DVD.
Procedures in this chapter assume that you want to install Oracle automatically using default settings. Allow approximately 60 minutes to install the software.
If your site already has a supported version of Oracle installed, you may choose to install only the Empower 2 database instance. You would start the installation at Part 2 (see
“Installing the Empower 2 database instance” on page 5-4 ) and skip Part 1.
The Empower 2 UNIX product includes two separate installers for proper installation and configuration of the Oracle 10.2.0.1 application and the
Empower 2 database instance on a UNIX server. You must set certain environmental conditions before each installation.
To install Oracle 10.2.0.3 and create an Empower 2 database instance on a
UNIX server, you must perform these tasks:
• Prepare the Solaris 10 operating environment using the Oracle Quick
Installation Guide as a reference.
• Install Oracle Enterprise 10.2.0.1 application (Installation Part 1).
• Install the Oracle Enterprise 10.2.0.3 patch
5-2 Installing the Empower Oracle database on a Solaris server
• Configure the system before installing the Empower 2 database instance.
• Install the database instance (Installation Part 2).
• Configure the database (set up a Listener and enter the ORACLE_SID).
• Set the database to start on reboot.
Preparing the Solaris 10 operating environment
Install the Solaris 10 operating system and all required service packs according to the documentation provided by the manufacturer and your IT department.
Prepare the Solaris 10 environment for the Oracle 10.2.0.1 database installation according to the procedures outlined in the Oracle Quick
Installation Guide.
Requirement: Remove any ORACLE_SID references that may be set in the
.profile file before launching the installer.
Installing the Oracle Enterprise application 10.2.0.1
Once the Solaris operating environment has been installed and prepared, you can install the Oracle 10.2.0.3 database.
To install the Oracle 10.2.0.1 application (Installation Part 1)
1.
Log in as the Oracle user, and open a terminal window.
2.
Change directory to the root of the DVD, and execute one of the following commands: java -jar oraclesparc.jar
or java -cp oraclesparc.jar run
3.
Wait for the Waters installer to launch and install the Oracle software.
Result: When the Oracle installation is finished, the installer will prompt you to log in as root and run the root.sh script.
4.
Run the root.sh script and return to the installer to finish Part 1 of the installation and exit.
5.
Install the Oracle 10.2.0.3 patch.
Installing the Empower 2 UNIX product 5-3
Tip: The patch CD, “Emp.2 Oracle 10.2.0.3 for Solaris 10”, is available from your local Waters subsidiary.
Configuring the system before installing the database instance
Before you install the database instance, ensure there are no instances of
ORACLE_SID in the .profile file and that ORACLE_HOME is set properly in your environment. The .profile MUST be correct for the installation to work.
To verify that no ORACLE_SID exists
In a terminal window, enter the following command: echo $ORACLE_SID
This command should return blank, indicating there is no SID set. If a SID does exist, remove it from the file.
To verify that Oracle home is set properly
1.
Enter the following command to ensure that ORACLE_HOME is set properly: echo $ORACLE_HOME
This should return the correct path for your Oracle home. If the correct path is not in your environment, add the appropriate information to the
.profile file
Example:
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/empower export ORACLE_HOME
2.
Log out, and then log in again.
Installing the Empower 2 database instance
The drives for the data paths must be mounted in advance, and the folders must be already created before you launch the installer. During configuration, you will be asked to provide the correct path to these data folders.
To install the Empower 2 database instance (Installation part 2)
1.
Change directory to the root of the DVD, and execute one of the following commands:
5-4 Installing the Empower Oracle database on a Solaris server
java -jar empowerdb.jar
or java -cp empowerdb.jar run
2.
Wait for the installer to launch, and follow the screen prompts.
Result: The installer prompts you to verify the ORACLE_BASE and
ORACLE_HOME paths. If the paths are correct, click Next.
Requirement: The paths must match your environmental settings for
ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME as specified in the .profile file. If the paths do not match, exit the installer and fix the environment. Then log out, log in, and try the installation again.
Configuring the database
On the Database Options page, enter the Oracle SID, the global database name, and the data paths, following these guidelines:
• The SID is case-sensitive and must be less than 8 alpha-numeric characters. Do not use any special characters.
• The Global Database Name must not contain dashes (-).
• The default Global Database Name is your sid.servername. If your server name contains dashes, remove them.
• Enter the correct path to the data folders using the drives that were mounted previously.
• Modify any values as necessary, and then click next.
• You may be prompted to change the system account passwords. Do not change these passwords. Click OK to continue without making any changes.
The installation and configuration process takes approximately 40 minutes, depending on the machine. Wait until the installer finishes. The process creates the Empower instance and the Empower 2 database.
Restriction: The installation is not complete until you update the database to
Empower 2 FR 5 by connecting to it from an FR 5 client.
Installing the Empower 2 UNIX product 5-5
Setting the database to start on reboot
To set up the database to start on reboot
1.
Open the .profile file, and set the Oracle SID and ORAENV variables.
For example:
ORACLE_SID=WATB export ORACLE_SID
ORAENV_ASK=NO export ORAENV_ASK
. oraenv
Tip: WATB is an example SID. Your Oracle SID will differ.
2.
Change the oratab file to say Yes to the Oracle SID in your environment.
For example:
WATB:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/empower:Y
Tip: The oratab file is located in the /var/opt/oracle folder.
3.
Include dbora in the /etc/init.d folder, and run the following commands to link the start/shutdown actions: ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K01dbora ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc2.d/S99dbora
Requirement: You must type the commands exactly as indicated for the actions to work.
Tips:
• A sample dbora file is provided in the sample scripts folder on the product DVD.
• K01 in front of the dbora name signifies to Kill the Oracle processes first on shutdown.
• S99 in front of the second command means Start the Oracle processes last on reboot.

Considerations and requirements
Considerations
The Waters Service allows computers on which it is installed to have raw data shares configured in Empower software. Users can store project raw data on these file shares. The service provides secure access to Empower software raw data files via the Empower application. While the operating system permissions on the files can be set to read-only for Empower users, these same users can have write privileges through the WatersService when running
Empower software.
If you are using real-time virus scanning, exclude all Empower-related folders and their sub-directories. Some real-time virus scanners mistake normal
Empower functionality for virus activity and can therefore interfere with data buffering.
Requirements
• Valid client and server network connections
• Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server
Restriction: Windows XP is supported on a file server; however, the number of incoming connections is limited to 10.
Installing the Waters Service

Introduction
To access Empower 2 FR 5 in a Citrix Presentation Server environment, the
Empower 2 FR 5 client is loaded onto the Citrix terminal server. Client computers can then connect to the Citrix server to access and operate
Empower 2 FR 5. Clients access Empower using the Independent Computing
Architecture (ICA
) protocol developed by Citrix.
You can also use the Citrix Web Interface Server to provide web-based access to Citrix Empower servers.
Requirement: Empower 2 FR 5 must be the only application running on your
Citrix server. Do not run non-Empower applications on your Citrix server.
For information on installing and configuring a Citrix server, contact Citrix.
Configuring the Citrix server for Empower
To use the Citrix server with Empower 2 FR 5 clients, first verify that you are using the required Microsoft operating system and version, and ensure that
Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 or 4.5 software is installed on the server. Then set the system up as follows:
• Uninstall any existing ICOP, ICS, or AQT software, if applicable, using the Add/Remove program.
• Uninstall any previous versions of Empower software.
• Configure Event Viewer.
• Install the Empower 2 FR 5 client on the Citrix server.
• Disable WatersService.
• Configure database net service names.
• Publish Empower.
Uninstalling previous instrument control and Empower software
If you have previous versions of instrument control option packs (ICOPs), instrument control software (ICS), AQT software, or Empower software on your Citrix server, you must uninstall the software using the Add/Remove program. Uninstall the components in the following order:
1.

Connecting to LAC/E
32
modules
The LAC/E
32
module has Remote Desktop Connection administration software installed on it. The software is installed by default during Windows XP installation. If you have an XP system, use the Remote Desktop application to control the LAC/E
32
module remotely.
This appendix explains how to install remote administration software on a viewer client or server computer. The preferred method for remote control is to use Remote Desktop Connection.
Configuring Remote Desktop Connection
Requirement: For Remote Desktop Connection to work, both the Client
Viewer computer and the Remote Host computer must have the TCP/IP
Protocol installed on the network connection, and there must be a TCP/IP address assigned.
To configure Remote Desktop Connection software
1.
Click Programs > Accessories > Communications > Remote Desktop
Connection.
2.
In the Remote Desktop Connection page, click Options.
If you want Remote Desktop Connection to start without the need to enter an administrator password, type the Administrator password in the password box, and select Save my password.
Tip: The LAC/E
32
is shipped from Waters with the Administrator password set to “waters”.
3.
Click the Local Resources tab and perform these actions:
• In the Remote computer sound selection box, select “Do not play”.
• In the Keyboard selection box, select “In full screen mode only”.
• In the Local devices box, clear these check boxes: Disk drives,
Printers, and Serial ports.
4.

6.
To save all these settings, in the Connection settings box, click Save As.
Tips:
If you want to keep these as the default settings for starting Remote
Desktop Connection, then allow them to be saved in the default settings file named Default.rdp.
Different settings can be saved with different file names and then selected with the Open button in the General page. When you save the
Remote Desktop configuration settings file to a filename that already exists, a warning message appears. Click Yes to replace the file.
To start a Remote Desktop connection
In the Remote Desktop Connection General tab, type the IP address of the remote LAC/E
32
module into the Computer box, and then click Connect.
Alternative: If the Viewer client and the Remote LAC/E
32
are configured in the same domain using the same IP address range and Subnet mask, you can connect to the remote LAC/E
32
module using the remote system’s computer name.
Tip: The Windows XP LAC/E
32
is shipped from Waters with an IP address of
10.10.10.xxx, and a computer name of Waters-xxx, where xxx are the last 3 numeric digits of the Waters LAC/E
32
serial number. For example, for Waters
Serial Number E02L32105W, the IP address would be 10.10.10.105, and the computer name would be Waters-105.
Exception: If the computer is not found, an error message appears. If the computer name was used to connect to the computer, then try again using the
IP address. Connecting using the IP address should always work.
Keep these items in mind when working with Remote Desktop Connection:
• If you select “Browse for more” in the list of available computers, the network browse page appears. If you double-click to continue the browse, an error message appears if no terminal server is installed on your network.
• In full screen mode, a connection bar appears at the top of the remote

The connection bar has the remote computer name or IP address that you entered, so it shows which LAC/E
32 module you are remotely controlling. In addition, the connection bar offers the following controls:
• Minimize button (-) – Minimizes the remote host desktop and returns you to the viewer computer desktop with the remote host session minimized on the task bar.
• Close button (x) – Disconnects the remote host session. You can also disconnect from the remote host by clicking Start > Disconnect.
• Restore/Maximize button – Allows the remote host desktop be a window on the viewer computer desktop. When the remote desktop is a window, the Connection bar is no longer necessary and is no longer displayed.
• If you change the IP address at the remote LAC/E
32
module during a remote connection session, and then click the OK button in Local Area
Connection Properties, immediately issue a session Disconnect. You can then reestablish the connection using the new IP address for the computer name (or the computer name if the systems are now in the same domain/IP address range/subnet mask).
• To disconnect from the remote system yet keep your logon session active, click the “x” on the connection bar in full-screen mode. Alternatively, at the remote system desktop, click Start > Disconnect. The Disconnect
Windows Session message box appears. Click OK.
When you disconnect from the LAC/E
32
, the remote session is still active and you are still actively logged on to the system. If you want to end your remote session, you must log off from the system.
• To log off and end a remote session, at the remote system desktop, click
Start > Log Off. The Log Off Windows page appears. Click the Log Off
Button. The LAC/E
32
module shows the logon screen, ready to initiate another Remote Desktop Connection session.
Tip: Empower 2 FR 5 services will run on the LAC/E
32
while it is at the logon screen.
If a system restart occurs at the remote host during a remote session, (for example, after a program installation and restart) you are automatically logged off from the remote system and returned to the viewer desktop.
