This kit might contain extra hardware.
This product is supplied with a C5 to C14 power cord. The C14 is a standard connection for PDUs and UPSs. If another
power source is used, a region specific cord must be purchased separately.
HPE constantly strives to improve and develop products that are environmentally friendly. In communicating with our
customers, we have discovered that 90% use the C5 to C14 jumper cord and discard the C5 to country specific power
cords. In an eort to reduce landfill, HPE made a Green decision to remove excess waste from our accessory kit. This
resulted in removing the multiple power cords included in the product.
Installing the HPE LCD 8500 1U Console
Procedure

Maintenance
Maintenance guidelines
To protect your unit from overheating and other types of damage:
• Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this unit, as indicated on the marking labeland back plate.
• If an extension cord or power strip is used, be sure that the cord or strip is rated for the product. Also, be sure that the
total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip donot exceed 80% of the extension
cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.
• Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed
80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are used, do not allow the load to exceed 80% of the power strip input
rating.
• Install the unit near an outlet that you can reach easily. Disconnect the unit by grasping the plug firmlyand pulling it
from the outlet. Do not disconnect the plug by pulling the cord.
• Disconnect the unit from the wall before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Slots and openings in the monitor are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
push objects of any kind into these slots or openings.
• Do not drop the unit or place it on an unstable surface.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not step on the cord.
• Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, and moisture. Keep the monitor away from
high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields.
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. If the unit is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HPE authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.

Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling
parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-
sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing
electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible
straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the
strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on
conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
