Warning

Handling and site prep

• The device is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury, death, or damage to the device, which can occur due to its size and weight, it is essential to keep the device upright.
• Before moving the device to where it will be installed, survey the site to determine how to safely move it to where it will be unpacked and mounted.
• Always use at least two people for unpacking and installation.
• Once the device is unpacked, it should be mounted immediately, so the mounting system should be in place before unpacking. If you're mounting onto a rolling stand, lock or block the stand's wheels before unpacking.
• To avoid tripping hazards, keep the assembly area clear of packing materials.

Mounting Surface Hub 2S 85"

The Surface Hub 2S 85" uses a 600 x 600 VESA mount pattern. As shown in the following image, Microsoft has partnered with Steelcase to create mounting options compatible with the Surface Hub 2S 85" unique design.

Mounting dimensions

If using other (non-Steelcase) mounting options, you will need spacers to account for the compute enclosure on the back of the device. Spacers and other certified accessories are available from Salamander Designs.

Supplemental Strapping Kit

An additional set of inner packaging strapping materials can be found in the kit attached at the back, lower right.

Warning

Heavy object/ergonomic lifting
The device is very heavy. We recommend that at least two or more people lift the device to reduce the risk of lifting-related injuries, death, or damage to the device. It is important to use proper lifting posture when lifting or moving the device. Use good ergonomic lifting practices, including but not limited to:

• Plan. Make sure the lifting team agrees on the plan.
• Determine if you can lift the unit. Is it too heavy or too awkward?
• Decide if you need a lifting aid.
• Check your environment for obstructions and slippery surfaces.
• Lift with your legs, not your back.
• Bend at your knees, keeping the back straight.
• Keep the unit close to your body.

Warning

Proper mounting
The device is heavy and attaches to a cart or wall mount. To reduce the risk of injury, death, or damage to the device:

• Follow all instructions provided by the cart or wall mount manufacturer.
• Ensure the proposed mounting system will support the weight of this device.
• Only use the mounting hardware provided with mounting the system.
• Ensure all screws are securely tightened according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Only release the device once you are sure it fully engages with mounting system attachment points.
• Microsoft recommends using carts or wall mounting systems designed for use with your device. Microsoft is not responsible for any damage, injuries, or death caused by using other mounting systems.

Warning

Unseen hazards in walls or other mounting surfaces
Walls and other mounting surfaces may contain electrical wires, gas lines, and other unseen hazards or obstacles. Cutting or drilling into an unseen hazard may cause serious personal injury or death. It is the installer's responsibility to locate unseen hazards before and to avoid these hazards during installation. Assess the mounting environment and ensure there are no unseen hazards in the wall or other mounting surfaces before drilling or cutting.

Warning

Tip hazard
To avoid the risk of personal injury, death, or damage to a cart/stand-mounted device when it is moved:

• Only use a cart/stand compatible with this device.
• Follow all instructions provided by the cart/stand manufacturer for moving or relocating a stand-mounted device.
• Do not hang or place heavy objects on the device or the cart/stand.
• Disconnect the power cord and other cables before moving the cart/stand-mounted device. Use caution and move slowly when moving a cart/stand-mounted device. Follow the cart/stand manufacturer's instructions for moving or relocating the stand.
• Use caution when transporting a cart/stand-mounted device up or down ramps. Never leave a cart/stand-mounted device unattended on or near a ramp.

Caution

Touch-screen glass
The touch screen on the device, like most touch screens, is made of glass. The glass can break if the device is dropped or significantly impacted. To reduce the risk of personal injury, avoid touching the screen if the glass is broken, chipped or cracked and arrange to replace the screen. A cracked or chipped touchscreen caused by misuse or abuse of your device is not covered under the product's limited warranty.
