how to install HPE Jumper Cord

• Power down safety: Before installation, power off the equipment and any connected devices to prevent arcing or electrical shock.
• Connect the C14 end to the device: Insert the IEC 60320 C14 connector into the appropriate C14 inlet on the equipment or power supply that accepts a C14 plug. Ensure a snug, secure fit with no wiggling or looseness.
• Connect the C15 end to the power source: Attach the IEC 60320 C15 connector to a compatible outlet, power strip, or power distribution unit designed to accept C15 cords. Confirm that the outlet is rated for 120 V AC and matches the equipment’s power requirements.
• Check cable management: Route the cord in a way that avoids pinch points, sharp edges, and hot surfaces. Use cable ties or organizers to keep cables tidy and ensure unobstructed airflow around equipment.
• Power on and verify: Restore power and monitor the equipment for normal operation. If the device fails to power on, re-check the connector seats and verify that both ends are fully engaged and compatible with the device specifications.
