VESA plate and slide the quick release latch to the locked position, the four tabs lock the VESA plate to the Elite Slice assembly. If the VESA plate is not correctly oriented, the quick release latch cannot be moved to the locked position and the modules are not secured.
Connecting power The Elite Slice can be connected to a powered port on an HP monitor or it can be connected to an AC outlet using the HP adapter that shipped with the Elite Slice. Power sources not obtained from HP will be rejected.
Connect the AC adapter to the power connector on the rear of the Elite Slice. If you have an HP monitor with a charging port that can supply at least 60 W, you may connect the Elite Slice to the monitor instead of an AC outlet.
NOTE: HP highly recommends that you secure the Elite Slice assembly by attaching a security cable to the rear of the VESA plate. This stops the quick release latch from being moved to the unlocked position and prevents accidental release of the modules.
Synchronizing the optional wireless keyboard and mouse The mouse and keyboard are synchronized at the factory. If they do not work, remove and replace the batteries. If the mouse and keyboard still do not work, then follow this procedure to manually resynchronize the pair.
