6. Tighten the cross bolt on the square tube arm with a 17 mm socket wrench and a 17 mm hex wrench.

7. With a 21 mm wrench, remove the monitor bracket from the Controller Arm, and rotate it so that the largest mounting plate is facing up.

NOTE: The largest mounting plate is for the monitor, and the smallest mounting plate is for the keyboard tray.

8. Tighten the three pivot bolts on the monitor bracket with an 8 mm hex wrench and a 16 mm wrench.

Tip! This makes it easier to install the monitor, which you'll do later in this installation procedure.

2. Mount the VESA mount plate to the Controller Arm with the four screws that you set aside in Step 1.

3. Align the monitor with the VESA mount plate.

4. Attach the top of the monitor to the VESA mount plate with a Phillips screwdriver and two M4 × 10 mm machine screws.

5. Attach the bottom of the monitor to the VESA mount plate with a Phillips screwdriver and two M4 × 10 mm thread-forming screws.

Make Monitor Connections

1. Connect the monitor's cables.

2. Route all of the cables' loose ends down the Controller Arm.

3. Secure the cables to the wire tie mounts that you installed on the round monitor post with four 4 in. cable ties.

4. Route the loose ends of all the cables through the slots in the square tube arm.

5. Route the loose end of the power cable to the back of the electrical cabinet, and connect it to any of the Accessory power outlets on the side of the electrical cabinet.
