    • (2) M6x20 screws to install arm to frame (temporarily installed in place on bracket)

    • (1) Cable Clip (already installed on the back on the bracket)

Time Required

  • 30 Minutes

Procedure

  1. Remove the ends of the monitor cables from the packaging inside the system. (Leave the plastic spiral wrap on the cables)
  2. Gently remove the USB Hub Cover (and disconnect the USB and power cables) from the USB plate and set aside (slowly pull out, it is a "press-fit" cover, no screws).
  3. ClosedRoute the 3 monitor cables out through the opening in the USB plate as shown.

  4. ClosedInstall the monitor arm to the bracket with the two M6x20 screws (5mm hex driver). The two screws are temporarily installed on the bracket. Ensure the plastic green arrow (on the inside of the monitor mounting plate) is pointing up. Remove the plastic arrow after install.

  5. ClosedInstall the monitor to the monitor arm using the four M4x8 screws (3mm hex driver). The four screws temporarily installed on the back of the monitor. Hold the monitor in place and get two screws started and tightened, then you can safely install the rest.

  6. ClosedPlug in all 3 cables to the monitor, and route the cables through the channels on the monitor arm. Run the VGA cable through the bottom channel, and the other two cables through the top channel. Snap the channel covers back into place.
    Caution— When routing the cables through the cable channels in the arm, keep the slack in the cables to a minimum. Do NOT put too much stress on the cables at any point. The monitor arm must be able to swing all the way from one side to the other without any strain on the cables.

  7. ClosedAttach a second cable clip (optional but recommended) on the USB Plate as shown, then secure the cables in the clips.

  8. ClosedReinstall the USB Hub Cover and ensure the side door can still open and close. Readjust the cable routing through the cable clips if necessary.

  9. ClosedSnap the new monitor arm plastic covers that hide the attachment screws.

  10. Power on the system and start the PC.
  11. Proceed to the Monitor Configuration section below.
