Safety and Precautions
Prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage to smart card readers by
always discharging your body and smart card before using a
reader (for example, by touching a grounded, unpainted, metal
object). ESD can vary depending on many environmental
conditions, including clothing that users wear and how they
handle smart cards. ESD damage can potentially cause
unsupported card reader behavior including failure. Always
perform ESD prevention steps before using the card reader.
•
Do not install the thin client in areas where it can become wet or be
exposed to water.
•
Only use the power cord shipped with the thin client.
•
Ensure there is four inches of space surrounding the thin client.
Inadequate ventilation can damage the device.
Setting up Your I8520 Thin Client

Carefully unpack the I8520 and components. Ensure that you have
the following items:
• Power cord (included with the thin client)
• USB mouse to connect to the I8520
• USB keyboard to connect to the I8520
• VGA or DVI-I monitor to connect to the I8520
2.
Place the I8520 on a desktop. You can mount the thin client vertically
(inserted in the included pedestal) or horizontally.
3.
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the thin client. As shown in
the adjacent figures, USB ports are located on the front and rear of
the I8520.

remote device. If you are using ClearCube PCoE remote connection
software, see
