Installing a G2916A Sampler Tray on a
5890 Series II Gas Chromatograph
G2916A Kit
This procedure assumes that the Gas Chromatograph (GC) is either
•A 5890A GC which has been fully upgraded to a 5890 Series II instrument
(“fully” means that both electronic and mechanical upgrades have been
performed; a printed circuit board-only upgrade does not qualify).
•ORa 5890 Series II GC which was purchased as such.
and that the G2916-61000 injector bracket has already been installed.

Preparing the GC
When the sample tray is installed, it blocks access to the pneumatics door on
the left side panel. To maintain easy access to these components, Agilent
recommends the following:
1Remove the GC left side panel.
2Remove the pneumatic compartment access door from the left side panel.
3Reinstall the left side panel.

Installing the tray
1Install the tray post in the hole in the right front corner (as you face the
oven) of the injector bracket (Figure 1).
2Set the tray on the injector bracket so that the frontmost pin on the injector
bracket fits into the mating hole in the bottom of the tray, then align the
tray to the second alignment pin on the injector bracket.
CAUTION Do not move or manipulate the robotic arm or gripper. Moving the arm or gripper back and
forth can cause damage. If necessary, rotate the arm assembly a few degrees until there is
enough clearance.

3Insert four screws with washers where shown. Tighten the screws to secure
the tray to the bracket.
4Install the tray quadrants (Figure 2). Be sure to match the numbers on the
quadrants with the tray base numbers.
