Waters UNIFI softwareThe Waters UNIFI workstation configuration consists of the following components:
Workstation components
Purpose
UNIFI soft-ware
Control instruments and devices to acquire, analyze, process, and report data, and to perform other information management functions.
Database Stores the metadata or descriptive information about the samples run (processed results, sample identifiers, methods, and reports), in a rela-tional database management system (RDBMS). Raw data are also stored in the database.
Workstation Runs on the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Professional SP 1, 64-bit operating system (OS).
Waters instru-ment systems
Groups of chromatographic instruments and mass spectrometers that you create to form an instrument system. These systems, which connect to a workstation, perform chromatographic (LC) and mass spectrometric (MS) analyses. For example, a UNIFI instrument system based on Waters UPLC tech-nology can include solvent manager, sample manager, column manager, one or more detectors, chromatographic columns, and an e-SAT/IN module. For MS analyses, its configuration can include a Xevo mass spec-trometer. The number of instrument systems supported by a UNIFI workstation depends on the type of detector included in the instrument system.Number of instrument systems supported by a UNIFI workstation: l One instrument system that contains a quadruple mass spectrometer,
or l One instrument system that contains a TOF (time of flight) mass spec-
trometer, or l Two instrument systems that contain optical detectors, such as a PDA
or TUV
The Waters UNIFI workgroup configuration consists of the following components:

Workgroup components
Purpose
UNIFI soft-ware
Control instruments and devices to acquire, analyze, process, and report data, and to perform other information management functions.
Workgroup server
Stores the metadata or descriptive information about the samples run (processed results, sample identifiers, methods, and reports), in a rela-tional database management system (RDBMS). Raw data are also stored in the database. The Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) allows for monit-oring and some management functions of the UNIFI database. UNIFI soft-ware also supports Oracle® Automatic Storage Management (ASM) for disk management (data files, redo logs, control files) on physical internal or external disks like a storage area network (SAN) disk.
Laboratory network devices
Collect all data acquired by Waters instrument systems. Recommendation: Procure a pre-configured LND from Waters. Doing so, is more efficient than performing the labor-intensive work of configuring a computer to serve as an LND.The number of online instrument systems per LND depends on the type of detector included in the instrument system.Maximum number of online instrument systems per LND: l One instrument system that contains a quadruple mass spectrometer,
or l One instrument system that contains a TOF (time of flight) mass spec-
trometer, or l Two instrument systems that contain optical detectors, such as a PDA
or TUV

The number of instrument systems supported by a UNIFI workgroup depends on the type of detector included in the instrument system. Your instrument systems can include a combination of mass spectrometers and optical detectors such as PDAs or TUVs, but cannot include a combination of quadruple and TOF (time of flight) mass spectrometers. Number of instrument systems supported by a UNIFI workgroup: l Four instrument systems that contains a quadruple mass spec-
trometer, or l Two instrument systems that contains a TOF (time of flight) mass spec-
trometer, or l Six instrument systems that contain optical detectors, such as a PDA
or TUVRefer to the example below this table for the maximum number of instru-ment systems supported by a UNIFI workgroup.

2 Configuring the Hardware
Contents:
Preparing for UNIFI software 23Selecting the site 23Installing the hardware 25
Preparing for UNIFI softwareExcept for a UNIFI workstation, all configurations require a pre-existing local area network (LAN), so that the Workgroups system can function. Waters personnel do not install network cables.
To install and activate Waters licenses and options, you must use a computer connected to the Internet. Note, however, that this computer need not be the one running UNIFI software.
Before installing any hardware or software, it is wise to perform a full backup of your hard drives (see instructions provided by the manufacturer of your computer). After the install-ation, back up UNIFI data regularly.
Selecting the siteLocate the UNIFI system in a clean area that is free from shock, vibration, and extremes of temperature and humidity.
Environmental requirementsInstall theUNIFI system in a draft-free position protected, away from excessive amounts of dust. Protect equipment from direct sunlight and heating and air conditioning vents.
Temperature and humidity
The UNIFI system can operate within the following temperature and humidity ranges:
l Maintain an ambient temperature of between 15 and 28 °C
l Ensure the ambient humidity does not exceed 80% relative humidity, non-condensing
Acceptable temperature and humidity ranges vary according to the model of the computer and printer.
Vibration
Do not install the UNIFI system near heavy machines such as compressors and generators, which can create excessive floor vibration.
18October, 2013, 715004165 Rev. A 23
Magnetic fields
If the UNIFI system includes a mass spectrometer, position the system away from strong magnetic fields such as those generated by NMR systems or magnetic-sector mass spec-trometers.
Radio emissions
Install the UNIFI system in an environment where radio frequency (RF) emission from surrounding sources is minimal. Possible sources of RF emission include RF-linked alarm systems, mobile telephones, and hand-held transmitters.
Exhaust outlets
If a UNIFI system includes a chromatographic system or mass spectrometer, to avoid expos-ure to solvent vapors, refer to the system's site preparation guide for exhaust requirements.
Space considerationsAllow sufficient bench space for the UNIFI personal workstation, Workgroup, or client computers (keyboard, monitor, system unit, and printer), as recommended in the docu-mentation supplied with the computer.
For workstation installations, place computers on a lab bench or a desktop near the system instruments to enable control and tuning of the chromatography or MS system. The total bench space you require depends on the number of devices you plan to configure (pumps, detectors, autosamplers, and so on).
For Workgroup installations, place the laboratory network device and the client computer on a lab bench or a desktop near the system modules. Locate the workgroup server in a separ-ate server room managed by IT personnel. Other client computers can be located anywhere on the network or domain.
Ventilation
Ensure the ventilation slots on all system modules are not blocked. Allow at least 15 cm of space on all sides of each module to ensure adequate air flow.
Cable lengths
Arrange the components of a chromatographic system to minimize cable lengths. Use optimal lengths to ensure proper signal transmission.
All Waters instruments are shipped domestically with a 2.3-m power cord connected to the rear of the chassis. International power cords are 2.5 m. For the data system (computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse), if required, you can use extension cables from a PC vendor.
Instrument arrangement
Place the workstation or client computer (computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse) or the labor-atory network device (computer only) on a laboratory bench close to the system modules. If
24 18October, 2013, 715004165 Rev. A
2 Configuring the Hardware
the UNIFI system includes a mass spectrometer, locate the data system within 5 m of the mass spectrometer, to allow connection of the communication cables.
For information on the best arrangement of your UNIFI system and connected instruments, consult your Waters technical service representative.
Power supplyAll UNIFI system components require a dedicated, earthed (grounded) power source. Ensure that the power supply cables of the system modules easily reach the electrical outlets connected to a common ground.
Consider using a line conditioner or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), for optimum long-term input-voltage stability.
If a UNIFIsystem includes a chromatographic system or a mass spectrometer, refer to its site preparation guide for the following power requirements:
l Power supply
l Electrical transformers
l Uninterruptible power supply
Installing the hardware
Install UNIFI workstation hardwareThe UNIFI workstation supports an optional, second, interface card for Ethernet instru-ments.
If you install UNIFI software on a computer that is not included in a network, you must install a Microsoft loopback network adapter (see "Install a Microsoft loopback network adapter").
To set up a UNIFI workstation:
1. Unpack and place the workstation in its final location.
2. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the workstation.
3. Ensure the voltage-selection switch on the PC tower is set to the correct voltage for the laboratory supply.
4. To install other computer peripherals, such as a printer, see the installation doc-umentation supplied with the device.
5. Switch on the PC, monitor, and peripheral devices.
6. Login to the Microsoft Windows 7 desktop using the administrator account with the password "waters".
7. If required, change the PC name and domain, and then connect to your facility's net-work.
8. If applicable, connect the Ethernet devices (see "Connect Ethernet instruments").
18October, 2013, 715004165 Rev. A 25
Installing the hardware
Install UNIFI workgroup hardwareThe UNIFI workgroup system comprises a server, one or more clients, and one or more laboratory network devices. Each computer in the workgroup system requires at least one network interface card. Ethernet instruments in a UNIFI workgroup connect to a laboratory network device.
To set up a UNIFI workgroup server:
1. Unpack and place the server in the desired location.
2. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the server.
3. To install other computer peripherals, such as a printer, refer to the installation doc-umentation supplied with the device.
4. Ensure that the network interface card is installed in the server.
To set up a UNIFI workgroup client:
1. Unpack and place the client in the desired location.
2. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the client.
3. Ensure that the network interface card is installed in the client.
4. Repeat step 1 through step 3 for each client in the workgroup system.
5. Connect the client to the network.
To set up a UNIFI laboratory network device:
1. Unpack and place the laboratory network device in its final location.
2. Ensure that the network interface card is installed in the laboratory network and set up correctly.
3. Ensure that a second network interface card is present.
4. Connect the laboratory network device to the network.
5. Connect the Ethernet devices (see "Connect Ethernet instruments").
Connect Ethernet instrumentsEthernet instruments connect directly to a network interface card (NIC) installed in a work-station or laboratory network device. If you are connecting multiple Ethernet instruments, use a Waters-supplied switch to connect the Ethernet cable from the workstation or labor-atory network device to the switch. Then plug each instrument into the switch.
The NIC used for instrument connections is separate and apart from the NIC used to commu-nicate with your facility's network.
Multiple Ethernet connections require crossover cables to control a mass spectrometer through a network switch. In addition, resetting the link speed and duplex properties of an NIC to Auto Detect can 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 UNIFI soft-ware.

Before you begin installing a workgroup serverBefore you begin installing UNIFI software on a workgroup server, you must complete these tasks:
l Choose a database backup option.
l Configure disk drives.
l Create Windows application server role.
Choose a database backup optionWhen you install UNIFI software on a workgroup server, you must choose one of three backup options:
l Daily online (hot) backups
Tip: If you choose online hot backups as your database backup option, you can recover database in the event of database failure, no data are lost.
l Daily offline (cold) backups
l No backups
If you choose daily offline or online backups, the database backup runs automatically as a Windows scheduled task. You can modify the time in Windows Task Scheduler.
Online hot backups
If you select this option, these actions occur:
l A weekly full database backup plus daily incremental backups with archive log mode.
l Windows scheduled tasks named "At1" and "At2" are automatically created to back up the database.
18October, 2013, 715004165 Rev. A 41
l "At1" scheduled task performs a full online database backup every Monday morn-ing at 2:59 a.m. (you can modify this time). It runs immediately after installing the database for first time.
l "At2" scheduled task performs an incremental backup Tuesday through Sunday at 2:59 a.m. (you can modify this time).
l During database backups, the database is online and available for use (users can log on to the software and they can acquire data).
When you select online hot backups as your database backup option, you can recover data-base in the event of database failure, no data are lost.
Offline cold backups
If you select this option, these actions occur:
l A full database backup occurs daily without archive log mode.
l A Windows scheduled task named "At1" is automatically created to back up the data-base every day at 2:59 a.m. (you can modify this time).
l During database backups, the database is offline and unavailable (users cannot log on to the software and they cannot acquire data).
l The amount of time it takes to back up the database depends on the size of the data (the larger the volume of data, the longer it takes to back up the database).
When you select offline cold backups as your database backup option, you can recover the database up to the point of the last backup; data captured between backups is lost.
Fast Recovery Area size
If you chose online, hot backups during installation, the location for your database backups (FRA) must be able to accept data from two backups simultaneously: the software does not delete the obsolete backup until it confirms that the current one is completed. Online, hot backups also include archive logs.
A database backup causes the software to generate a time-stamped log file that includes details about individual steps of the backup process. You can find this log file in this location: [install drive]:\Waters\scripts\BackupRecoveryScripts\logs.

4 Installing a UNIFI Workgroup
Retention of database backups
UNIFI Backup and Recovery options:
Option Description Recovery options
Daily online (hot) backups
A full online backup runs every Monday morning at 2:59 a.m. Incre-mental backups run Tuesday through Sunday at 2:59 a.m.
You can fully recover the database. In the event of database failure, no data are lost because the data are backed up in archive logs between backups.
Daily offline (cold) backup
A full offline backup runs every morning at 2:59 a.m. The database is not available during the backup process.
You can recover the database to the point of the last backup. In the event of database failure, data captured since the last backup are lost.
No backup
The software does not install a backup option.
You are responsible for backing up and restoring the database.
One full backup is kept in the Fast Recovery Area (FRA). Archive logs are removed when a new backup is made. When a new full database backup (level-0) is made, previous backups older than one week are removed from the FRA.
To recover the entire database, you must generate a second backup of the workgroup server, and then archive the contents of the Fast Recovery Area (FRA) to a network share or storage array.
The database is backed up and restored by using scripts that are installed on the workgroup server during installation. Only users with administrator and ora_dba privileges can backup and restore the database.
When the database is backed up, it typically compresses approximately 50 % compared to its original size.
Every time a database backup occurs, UNIFI software generates a log file that contains detailed information about the database backup process. The location of this log is: [install drive] waters\oracle\scripts\BackupRecoveryScripts\logs.
Configure disk drivesBefore you install UNIFI software on a workgroup server, you must configure one or three disk drives for Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM). If you are using external stor-age, you can configure one disk, but it must be at least a 500 GB drive. The disk groups that you create become the default location for the files created in the database. The disk group type determines how Oracle ASM mirrors files. An ASM disk can be a disk device.
To configure disk drives for Oracle ASM:
1. From the Windows Start menu on the workgroup server, right-click Computer, and then select Manage.
2. From the Computer Management dialog box, click Storage > Disk Management.
Important: Ensure all disks are online and unallocated.
18October, 2013, 715004165 Rev. A 43

Install UNIFI software on a workgroup serverWaters recommends a domain-based network infrastructure, though a UNIFI workgroup configuration does not require it. If the workgroup server is in a different domain than the clients or laboratory network devices, you must ensure that the date and time-stamps are synchronized with a time server. In a Windows Server 2008 R2-based domain, the domain controllers are automatically configured as time servers for the domain.
Restriction: Do not install UNIFI software on the same machine as the domain controller.To maximize uptime and minimize issues related to the network environment, Waters recom-mends that you follow these guidelines:
18October, 2013, 715004165 Rev. A 45
Install UNIFI software on a workgroup server
l Organize all UNIFI–related accounts, computer and user, within the same domain.
l If you are using real-time virus scanning, exclude all UNIFI–related folders and their subdirectories. Some real-time virus scanners mistake normal UNIFI software func-tionality for virus activity, causing data buffering problems.
l Configure preferences in Oracle Enterprise Manager to notify you by email when disk space reaches a user-defined size. Doing so, helps you monitor database space usage. For more information, see the "Manage the server disk space" section in the UNIFI System Administrator's Guide.
Important: After you install UNIFI software, do not change the IP address of the workgroup server. It is important that the workgroup server maintains a static IP address.Changing either of these may render UNIFI software unusable.
Before you beginBefore you install UNIFI software on a workgroup server, configure these Windows settings:
l Verify Windows hosts file information
l Enable the correct option is enabled for Windows updates (not the "Install updates automatically" option).
l Configure network discovery and file and printer functions
l Configure the network LAN
l Confirm regional settings
l Identify location for database backup copies (if applicable)
Verify Windows hosts file informationBefore you install UNIFI software on the workgroup server, you must verify that the Windows hosts file information contains the correct IP address and server host name for the workgroup server.
To verify that the Windows hosts information is correct:
1. On the workgroup server, open the Windows hosts file (C:\Win-dows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).
2. Verify that the file contains the correct IP address and the fully qualified domain name of the server.
Tip: The fully qualified domain name of the server is required for OEM to install properly.
Enable the correct option for Windows updatesYou must select the option "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to download them" for Windows updates.

The named user account can be local user account or domain user account. The domain user account is always referred as <domain name\user account>.
Tip: This procedure documents how to automate the copying of the database backups to a network location. It does not include data moved to an offline location by an offline storage management system.
To copy database backups to a network location using a named user account, you must perform these tasks:
l Create an OS or domain user account with the correct permissions
l Create a network share for stored database backups and provide access to the OS or domain user account
l Add credentials to access the network share to automatically access the network
l Create the OracleCRSToken Service and then manually set the password
l Stop the database and Oracle listener
l Stop Oracles services, if necessary, and then specify that services can run with a local or domain user account
l Grant permission to the named user to use the Oracle resources
l Start services
l Start the database and then restart the server
l Verify backups are copied to network location by running the At1 or At2 database backup scheduled tasks

Default settings overviewWhen you install UNIFI software, you decide whether you want to configure policy and audit trail settings for a regulated (GxP) or non-regulated environment. If you chose "Configure settings for a regulated environment (GxP)", UNIFI software configures data folders, global policies, folder policies, roles, custom fields, event properties, an administrator user account, and predefined reasons to comply with GxP (Good Practice quality guidelines and regu-lations). You can change these settings at any time.
If you chose "Configure settings for a regulated environment (GxP)", UNIFI software config-ures these policies and settings.

Default settings for a non-regulated environment:
Policy Description
Global policies
Global policies establish rules for the entire system, such as how to display the time and date in the software.
Folder policies
UNIFI software applies the GMP data folder reason policy to the Company (root) data folder. This folder policy defines whether users are required to enter a reason and their passwords when they modify or delete objects such as, analysis injections, processing of analyses, reports, that reside in data folders. If you don't want to apply this policy to all folders, you can revoke it.
Predefined reasons
Reasons explain why users performed an action, such as, modified an analysis method, deleted a data folder, or approved a report. Reasons created in advance save users time because once they are created, users can select an appropriate reason from a list and do not need to create their own reason. Previously created reasons are called "predefined" and ensure that reasons recorded within the event log are consistent.
Roles Roles are a set of permissions that control users' ability to perform tasks and functions in the software. Roles are based on users' job functions, such as a chemist or lab technician. Initially, the UNIFI software ships with the system administrator, chemist, analyst, guest, and field service engineer roles, but you can define as many roles to suit your company's needs.
User accounts
UNIFI software is shipped with one default Administrator account.
Custom fields
Custom fields track, manage, calculate, and report information about results, samples, extracted report information, and scientific applications. Initially, the UNIFI software ships with custom fields used by qualification, but you can define as many custom fields to suit your company's needs.
Event prop-erties
The event log stores audit trail messages in the event browser, system audit trail, and data audit trail view. Each message resides within a category; for example, Acquisition, Data Management, and Security and Administration, and contains a severity level and export requirement.
Predefined meanings and comments
When users review items, such as reports, for approval or rejection, they must provide a "meaning". Comments explain why users approve or reject an item, such as a report or qualification results. Previously created meanings and comments are called "predefined".
If you chose "Configure settings for a non-regulated environment (non GxP)", UNIFI soft-ware configures these global policies.

When you define folder policies, you establish rules for the content items in the data folders. The data reason policy defines whether users are required to enter a reason and their pass-words when they modify or delete objects that reside in data folders. The GMP folder policy is applied to the Company folder and all folders beneath it inherit this policy.
When you install UNIFI software, you decide whether you want to configure policy and audit trail settings for a regulated (GxP) or non-regulated environment. If you chose "Configure settings for a regulated environment (GxP)", UNIFI software applies the GMP data folder reason policy to the Company (root) data folder.
