Assembling the Station
Prepare the Chassis
A. Remove contents of the carton and separate the
major components. Use the T25H Torx key that is
packaged with the manual to remove the screw
and washer from the center of the tray lid and set
them aside to be replaced at the end of assembly.
Remove the contents from the tray.
B. Extend the sides of the chassis out at right angles
and tighten the pre-installed screws on corner of
each side. Each side has one on the top and one
on the bottom (4 screws total). CS-1210 ONLY:
The CS-1210 right panel is detached for shipping.
Attach with 2 [B2] screws and washers.
C. The supplied rubber feet [D4], [E5] can be
optionally installed in the four holes on the
bottom side of the station beside the holes used
for securing the station to a horizontal surface.

Secure Chassis to a Wall or Desk (Optional)
D. If the station will be used on a table, desk, or
counter top it may be optionally secured to the
surface by inserting 4 screws appropriate for
the surface type through the bottom side of the
chassis.
E. To mount the station to a wall, use the supplied
template as a guide for your screw location on the
wall. Other tools helpful to mounting: a level, and
a stud finder, and a pencil to mark mounting points
over studs in the wall.
WARNING: Failure to provide adequate structural strength for this
mounting system can result in serious personal injury or damage to
equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the structure
to which this mounting system is attached can support five times the
combined weight of all equipment. Reinforce the structure as required
before installing. The wall to which the mount is being attached may have
a maximum drywall thickness of 5/8” (1.6cm). Always ensure that proper
hardware is used for the wall surface type. Never operate this mounting
system if it is damaged. Contact JAR Systems for replacement or repair.

Mount the Tray to the Chassis
H. Pull out the sides of the chassis to the depth
needed for your device. Loosen the pre-installed
screws on the sides of the chassis if the sides
will not slide out. Note: To prevent unauthorized
removal of devices, do not extend the sides further
than needed to fit the devices.
I. Rest the tray on the tabs near the front of the
chassis. Insert 4 [B2] screws with plastic washers
through the chassis and into the back side of the
tray. (2 screws each side).
J. Open the tray and insert 2 [A1] screws and washers
through the tray and into the tabs on the chassis.
Install the Quick-Sense USB-C Hub (USB-C
stations only)
K. Open the tray lid and prop it up by placing a screw
or the Torx wrench in the side of the station.
L. On the inside of the tray, locate the 3 nuts that
secure the front panel of the tray to the bottom
panel. Remove them using the box wrench. Put
the nuts in a secure location. They will be used to
secure the hub onto the tray. Remove the front
panel of the tray and set aside. You will not need
this piece for the USB-C configuration.
M. Insert the power cable into the back of the hub,
route it through the tray and out of the circular
opening in the side/back of the station. Place the
USB-C hub into the tray. You may need to rotate
the hub diagonally to get it through the opening.
Align the holes in the front of the hub with the
studs where the front panel was secured. Use the
nuts that were removed in step L to secure the hub
to the tray using the box wrench.
N. Position all USB-C dongle cables forward in the
cable track so they are out of the way of the tray
lid closing. Remove your prop from the side wall
of the station and close the tray lid. Secure the

removed in step A and the Torx key.
Install Rubber Bumper
O. To protect your devices from hitting the back edge
of the chassis, utilize the supplied rubber bumper.
Install the Top Security Bar (Optional)
P. For security, place the top locking bar at the lowest
height that will fit over the devices. Use 2 [B2]
screws on the top two holes on the outside and
1 [A1] screw should be secured from the inside of
the chassis to prevent removal, on both sides.

Insert the Dividers into the Tray
Q. Remove the pre-installed divider locks from under
the shelf. Insert the dividers into the slots on the
shelf. Ensure that all dividers are properly seated
and re-install the divider locks beneath the shelf
using 6 [A1] screws.
Install Locking Arms (Optional)
R. For security, install the front locking arms using 2
[A1] screws on each side. Screws for the locking
arms should be installed from the inside of the
chassis to prevent removal.
S. Using the included padlock and keys with the front
locking arms can secure the station by looping
it through the holes when they align. Using the
padlock upside down may make the lock easily
accessible. This step completes the setup for
USB-C configurations.

Cable Management (AC stations only)
T. Place a security screw in the side of the chassis to
hold the tray open during the wiring process.
U. Determine the length of cable that is needed to
reach from the tray to the devices.
V. Determine the best method of arranging the cables
that come with your device.
AC ADAPTERS FRONT TO BACK: Best for some
wider adapters.
AC ADAPTERS LEFT TO RIGHT: Best for some
narrower adapters.
TABLET (NO AC ADAPTER): Use provided clips [F6]
beneath shelf to secure cables in groups of 5-6.
TIP: Adapters can often be installed as they come bundled in the
box. If the cables are not bundled at all, twist ties or Velcro
ties are helpful. If the devices have larger AC adapters (5”x
2”x 1.25” or larger) the adapters will fit snugly in the tray.
In this case it may be best to arrange most of the adapters
as far back in the tray as possible from left to right, flipping
about half on their side. Contact JAR Systems for additional
assistance.
W. After AC adapters are arranged in the tray, plug them
into the power strip. For best results, bundle any
excess cable length if it is not already.
X. (OPTIONAL) Secure the tray lid shut using the
screw and washer that were removed in step A
and the Torx key to prevent adapters from being
removed or tampered with. This step completes
the setup for AC configurations.
