Follow either step #1a for clamp mounting or step #1b for grommet mounting. All other steps apply to both mounting methods.
Step #1a: attach base assembly to worksurface — clamp mounting
The thickness of the worksurface must be between 0.5" and 2.1". To mount the clamp flush against
the worksurface, the thickness must be no more than 1.5".
• Loosen the clamp suciently to be able to slide it easily onto the worksurface.
• Clamp the assembly to the worksurface in the desired position. Be sure to tighten the clamp securely.
• Place the base cover onto the mounting post and fit the cover over the base.
Step #1b: attach base assembly to worksurface — grommet mounting
Maximum thickness of the worksurface for grommet mounting is 1.7".
• Place the base assembly over the grommet hole with the bolt centered.
• Insert the grommet bar onto the grommet bolt and then screw on the grommet knob. Tighten the grommet knob securely to hold the base assembly in position.
• Place the base cover onto the mounting post and fit the cover over the base.

Step #2: install monitor arms
1. Remove the locking ring from the connection sleeve. Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to unlock it and then lift it o.
2. Slide the connection sleeve onto the post with the screw toward the rear. With the sleeve at the desired height, tighten the screw using the 4mm Allen key.
3. Install the monitor arm assemblies onto the connection sleeve by sliding their tabs into slots on the sleeve.
— The tabs of a monitor arm assembly can fit into any two adjacent slots on the sleeve. In the example below, the arm stems on the two monitor arm assemblies point
away from each other to form a 180° angle. In this case, there are two empty slots between the arm stems.
— For greater monitor projection, the arm stems can also be positioned so they form a 135° angle (one empty slot between arm stems) or a 90° angle (no empty slots
between arm stems). Because the fixed-fixed arm combination already provides large projection, the dierence among the angles is rarely significant.
4. Carefully cut the decorative covers to remove them from the set. Slide the covers into the unused slots on the connection sleeve.
5. Lock the monitor arm to the connection sleeve with the locking ring. Rotate the locking ring clockwise to secure it.
Step #3: attach VESA plates to monitors
• Remove each VESA plate from its VESA mount by (1) pushing forward the tab at the top and (2) lifting upward.
—TIP: Practice re-installing the VESA plate before attaching it to the monitor. This will make step #4 easier.
• Place the monitor face down on a flat surface. Align the VESA plate holes with the holes on the back of the monitor. Attach the VESA plate using four of the provided
VESA plate screws.
— There are two sets of four holes on the VESA plates. One set has holes 3.9" (100mm) apart, the other set has holes 3" (75mm) apart. Use the set that matches the
holes on the rear of the monitor.

Step #4: attach monitors to VESA mounts
• Slide each VESA plate (with monitor attached) back onto its VESA mount.
— Make sure the VESA plates click securely in place.
• OPTIONAL: Secure the VESA plates to the VESA mounts using the M4x15 set screws, as shown below.
Step #5: remove cable management covers
• To remove the cable covers from the arm stems and fixed arms, slide the covers outward.

Step #6: install lockout set screw(s), if desired
Default rotation of the fixed arms is 360°. Installation of a lockout set screw limits rotation to 180°.
• To lockout fixed arm rotation, install M4x15 set screws. Tighten each screw, then back it o one turn. The screws fit in the underside of the arm stems and fixed arms.
— Installing a set screw in the front hole allows 180° rotation to the right only. A set screw in the rear hole allows 180° rotation to the left only.
— In the example below, to prevent the inner fixed arms from rotating to the rear (a left rotation with the left arm and a right rotation with the right arm), install a set
screw in the front hole on the left arm stem and in the rear hole on the right arm stem. The outer fixed arms are allowed their full 360° of rotation.
• The fixed arms must be in their allowed range of rotation when installing the lockout set screws.
Step #7: organize cables and cords
• Capture the cables and cords with the cable covers. Slide the cable covers as shown to attach them to the monitor arms.
• Snap the cable clips onto the post and into the recessed groove above the base.
• Route the monitor cables and power cords toward the rear by slipping the cords into the opening on the cable clips.

Step #8: make any necessary adjustments
There are four types of swivel and tilt tension adjustments:
1. Monitor tilt adjustment
— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to loosen the screw on the side of the VESA mount to change monitor tilt angle. Tighten the screw to hold the angle.
2. Monitor swivel adjustment
— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the underside screw behind the VESA mount for the desired ease of monitor rotation.
3. Head adapter swivel adjustment
— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the underside screw at the end of the outer fixed arm for the desired ease of head adapter rotation. In eect,
this is the same as the monitor swivel adjustment.
4. Fixed arm swivel adjustments
— Use the 4mm end of the dual Allen key to adjust the underside screw at the end of the arm stem or end of the inner fixed arm for the desired ease of rotation of the
two fixed arms for each monitor.
