Introduction
Before You Begin
Before You Begin
To simplify installation of the software, it is helpful to decide on some
configuration options before you begin the actual software installation.
1 For installing OpenLAB CDS, you need to have administrator privileges
for all servers and clients. Power user privileges are not sufficient (the
installation does not start).
2 Decide on a directory location to store all files related to the data
system software, including data, methods, sequences, and
configurations. The directory must always be accessible to the PC
running the software.
3 If you will be using OpenLAB ECM with your system, obtain the ECM
server name.
NOTE
Make sure you have administrator privileges for both ECM and OpenLAB.
4 Decide on the software delivery approach you want to use:
• Install directly from the DVDs to your computer — Load the disks as
required directly to the workstation disk drive. (Recommended)
• Copy DVDs to a centralized location for installation — You can use
the utility to copy DVD content to a network share folder or USB
drive, and run an uninterrupted installation from that location. This
approach will save time; when you install from the folder, you won’t
have to reload the disks. However, some networks may interfere with
installation.
5 Remember that when you launch the application, you will be able to
review the following PDFs in the installer Planning and Resources menus
before you install the software.

Installing Windows
NOTE
Keep your PC disconnected from the internet until you have installed the appropriate
security patches and hot fixes. It is strongly recommended to install the latest security fixes
as supported from Agilent Technologies and virus definitions prior to connecting to a
network.
1 Install Windows from the Microsoft installation media. During the setup,
provide the computer name, administrator password and network
settings. Choose to either join an existing domain or set up the system
in a workgroup mode.
2 To secure your system against viruses please install an antivirus
program. Be sure to open the firewall ports listed in the Firewall
Settings in the OpenLAB CDS Network Requirements guide.
NOTE
Running antivirus programs might influence the behavior and performance of your
computer. Some virus scanners might cause issues when used with OpenLAB CDS.
OpenLAB CDS was tested to run with Symantec's Endpoint Protection.

Using the OpenLAB CDS Configuration Checker
Using the OpenLAB CDS Configuration Checker
NOTE
This tool is only available for OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition on Windows 7.
The OpenLAB CDS Configuration Checker checks and repairs all
mandatory settings. It does not check optional settings or settings that
improve the performance.
The OpenLAB CDS Configuration Checker comes as .diagcab file, which is a
file format used with the Microsoft Windows Troubleshooting Platform
(WTP) program. The Microsoft Windows Troubleshooting Platform (WTP) is
a platform to locate and fix hardware and software settings in Windows.
It is used specifically for diagnosing and repairing computer settings.
In general, .diagcab files are useful for deploying troubleshooting packs
because they are self- contained and require no installation. They can be
deployed onto web sites, network shares, or copied to USB keys. The
.diagcab file name extension is a registered file name extension that can
be executed by WTP.
To start the OpenLAB CDS Configuration Checker, call the file
Agilent.Wtp.ChemStation.WindowsConfiguration.diagcab. This file is located on the
OpenLAB CDS disc 6 under Tools\OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition\Diagnostics\
WindowsConfiguration\Cab\
NOTE
While using the Configuration Checker:
• Ensure that this computer is not turned off by another user.
• Ensure that the menu bar is enabled.

Install Additional Software and Drivers
Install Additional Software and Drivers
OpenLAB CDS offers a wizard to help you installing additional software,
such as drivers for third- party instruments. To open the wizard, go to
Start > All programs > Agilent Technologies > OpenLAB > OpenLAB Additional
Software and Drivers. Follow the wizard to install the required software.
Prepare Network Drives
If the additional software is located on a network drive, you must prepare
the network drive to make it accessible by the wizard. Without this
preparation, Windows security prevents the wizard from accessing those
drives.
1 Map the drive to a letter.
For example, map the drive as Z: using the shared path "\\
<machine- name>\OpenLABCDS".
This maps the drive for the logged- in user.
2 Open the command prompt in elevated mode (run as administrator),
and map the drive using the net use command.
For example,
net use Z: "\\<machine-name>\OpenLABCDS"
This maps the drive for the local administrator account. The mapped
drive is now visible to both logged- in user and administrator, and can
be selected in the wizard.

Upgrade OpenLAB CDS Workstation to Latest Version
License Upgrade
If you are upgrading from a version older than A.02.01, you will need to
get a new license to upgrade to the new version of the software. We
strongly recommend upgrading your workstation licenses before upgrading
the core software. Standalone workstations which are upgraded to the
new core software version, without a new workstation license, will not
work until the new workstation licenses are added to the OpenLAB
Control Panel.
If you are under SMA subscription, proceed as follows to upgrade your
licenses:
1 Log into the Agilent Electronic Software and License Delivery
(https://agilent.subscribenet.com/).
2 Navigate to Manage Licenses by Host, and search for the machine hosting
your workstation. Alternatively, select the machine from the drop- down
list.
3 Click Upgrade All to upgrade all licenses on this host to the most recent
version. Confirm the upgrade on the next screen.
This upgrades the license file to the most current version. SubscribeNet
will send you an email with a new license file.
4 Put the new license file on your system.
If you have multiple single Workstations, repeat this step for each
individual workstation.
5 Download the most recent version of OpenLAB CDS software from
SubscribeNet and install it.

Transform a Workstation to a Networked Workstation
Transform a Workstation to a Networked Workstation
With Networked Workstations, you use a separate OpenLAB Shared
Services server to control the system. You can access all information
provided by OpenLAB Shared Services from any Networked Workstation.
For example, you can see on each workstation which instruments are
available and which status (Online, Offline, Error, In Run, Not Ready, etc.)
the instruments currently have. Also licenses and user accounts are
managed centrally on the OpenLAB Shared Services server.
NOTE
• You must already have installed an OpenLAB Shared Services server. See Networked
and Distributed System Installation and Configuration (CDS_NWSDS-Installation.pdf on
disk 1).
• Make sure that the versions of Workstation and OpenLAB Shared Services Server are
identical. If not, upgrade your Workstation before doing the transformation. See
“Upgrade OpenLAB CDS Workstation to Latest Version” on page 61.
For more information on temporary support of mixed version systems during an upgrade
phase, refer to the OpenLAB CDS Administration Guide (CDS_Admin.pdf on Disk 1).
CAUTION
Conflict of multiple instruments having the same name
Check if the instruments used on the Workstation have a name that already exists in
the network. If this is the case, or if you ar not sure:
➔ Before starting the transformation: Copy the data, methods, and sequences from
the relevant instrument to a local backup folder. Then delete the instrument on the
Workstation.
➔ After the transformation, configure a new instrument, and copy back the data from
the local folder.
