We recommend leaving the instrument on continuously. Only turn the instrument o when necessary, such as when moving the
instrument to another location. If the instrument must be turned o, toggle the power switch to the O position.
Ethernet setup
The BioXp™ system requires an internet connection. Prior to connecting the instrument to the internet, be sure to test the
connection. Connect the provided RJ45 ethernet cable to the ethernet port — located on the side of the unit — to an available
ethernet wall jack.
In order for the BioXp™ system to communicate with the Codex DNA server, you must open the 80/443 port through
your network. In addition, the BioXp™ system will be making an outbound SSL connection (HTTPS/SSL) to logmein.com,
codexdna.com and drive.google.com. Unblock or whitelist these sites.
Start the BioXp™ system
1. Ensure that all packaging materials have been removed, including the
shipping screw located under the pipette head.
2. Turn the instrument on using the power switch located on the side of the
instrument.
3. Close the instrument door. The BioXp™ system will initiate a self-check
process to verify the correct functionality of motion control and other
internal systems of the instrument. If the instrument is unable to perform a
successful self-check it will alert the user to the problem and will prevent
the instrument from operating until the problem has been addressed. The
self-check process has been carefully developed to ensure that the BioXp™
system is operating within optimal calibration ranges and that all systems are
functioning correctly before initiating a run.
