how to install HPE LCD8500 1U INTL Rackmount Console Kit

Installing the HPE LCD8500 in your rack is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize rack efficiency. Follow these general steps to mount and connect your INTL 1U KVM console:

  • Prepare your rack: Ensure you have a compatible 19-inch rack with adequate space at the desired 1U height and accessible front panel area for the console installation.
  • Mounting rails: Attach the supplied mounting rails to the rack per your rack’s configuration (2-post or 4-post, as appropriate). Confirm that rails are level and secure to support the console’s weight during operation.
  • Slide-in installation: Gently slide the LCD8500 console into the rails until it is securely seated. Use the screws provided with the rails to lock the unit in place.
  • Power connection: Connect the console’s power input to a suitable 100–240V AC power source, ensuring a clean power line to minimize interference with other equipment.
  • Peripheral and KVM setup: Connect USB peripherals as needed and configure KVM port mappings according to the included documentation. If managing multiple servers, configure the KVM switch to recognize each target server and test switching between them to confirm seamless control.
  • Initial test: Power on the console and verify the display, keyboard, and touchpad respond correctly. Enter a server’s BIOS or an operating system setup screen to confirm local management functionality is active.
  • Cable management: Route cables neatly along the rack rails and rear cabinet to reduce cable strain and improve airflow. Secure cables with ties or clips to prevent accidental disconnections during maintenance.
  • Documentation and support: Keep the installation guide handy for reference during future maintenance, firmware updates, or when adding additional servers to the KVM switch.
