Assembly Instructions
Backbone® Media Platform
August 2014
Assemble units as described herein only. To do otherwise
may result in instability. All screws, nuts and bolts must be
tightened securely and must be checked periodically after
assembly. Failure to assemble properly, or to secure parts
may result in assembly failure and personal injury.
1. Remove the Backbone
enclosure from pallet, taking
care not to damage the bottom
edges. Then remove support
feet, access door, adjustable
glides and hardware kit
#47.0815 from inside the
enclosure.
2. Place packaging foam or
cardboard onto the floor for
protection. As illustrated,
carefully place the enclosure
unit onto the protective
material and stand it up on its
back end, the wider side of the
enclosure unit (Figure 1).
3. Install the longer 38” foot
to the lower, wider end of
the enclosure bottom. First
locate two 1/4-20 x 3-1/2”
self-threading countersink
headed screws and add a flat
washer to each. From inside
the Backbone enclosure, insert
the two 1/4-20 x 3-1/2” self
threading screws with washers
through the enclosure and into
the threaded outer holes on the
38” foot. Do not fully tighten
at this time. Next, locate and
insert the four 5/16–18 x 5”
bolts through the bottom,
center of the foot and into the
enclosure from the outside.
Twist on four locking nuts,
but do not fully tighten at this
time. Leave all fasteners loose
until all bolts are attached
(Figure 1).
4. Attach the shorter foot to the
underside of the enclosure, as
done above with the 38” foot,
by using only four 5/16–18 x 5”
bolts and locking nuts. Do not
tighten at this time (Figure 1).
5. Square the feet to the units
support cross members and
tighten all fasteners. Then
insert the four adjustable
threaded glides into the feet
(Figure 1).
6. Carefully lower the unit on to
the support feet and adjust
leveling glides if necessary.
Note: If Monitor Support Panel
(optional) is not included, skip
now to step 9.

Optional Monitor Support
Attachment
7. Locate hardware kit
#47.0817, shipped with
Monitor Support. Begin by
removing the six screws
which secure the perforated
steel panel to the inside of
the Backbone enclosure to
gain better access.
8. Move the monitor support
into position behind the
Backbone enclosure as
illustrated. Locate the six
5/16–18 x 6” bolts from the
hardware kit and place a flat
washer on each of the bolts.
Insert the bolts through the
interior of the enclosure
unit and into the T-nuts in
the monitor support front
panel. To do so, the monitor
support will need to be
elevated ½” or so. Leave
each bolt loose until all six
are threaded into the monitor
support front panel. After
all six bolts are threaded
in, square the bottom of
the support to the floor and
tighten all six bolts to secure
(Figure 2).
Table Top Assembly
Installation
9. Take care to protect table top
sections from damage and
place both tops upside down
onto a soft, flat protective
surface. Insert hardwood
splines into slots in table
top, then carefully move the
table tops closer together
and insert barrel fastener
components (locking sleeve,
draw bolt & tightening nut)
into underside of table top
as illustrated. Align the
fasteners and the hardwood
splines, while gently moving
the two tops together. Next,
start the draw bolts into the
round threaded ends of the
tightening nut by using the
1/8” diameter by 4” long tool
provided. Tighten all barrel
fasteners, small amounts at
a time to draw tops together,
but do not tighten completely
at this time. Once all barrel
fasteners are attached,
flush the outer edge of each
table top half and tighten
all fasteners to secure. Be
careful to keep table halves
aligned, and to not pinch
the protective surface in the
seam from the underside
of assembly (Figure 3 &
Detail A).
Note: Top assemblies and
enclosure units are labeled as
sets with letters in the factory.
Take care to match like-labeled
components together during
assembly of multiple unit
installations.

access door and secure the
modules to the table top
from inside the enclosure
unit with provided fasteners.
Place the switching box
inside the larger end (left
side) of the enclosure. Begin
by plugging in all like wires
one at a time, (audio, video
or control) into the respective
locations on the switcher.
Start with the module that
is farthest from the switcher
(small end of enclosure)
and route its wire(s) through
the “bottom” opening in the
center divider wall of the
enclosure unit. Continue to
route all wires through the
bottom opening until you
reach the wires coming from
a module located beyond the
center divider. Take care to
make sure audio/video wire
that may need to move in and
out of modules reach there
desired locations. After all
control wires have been run,
complete wiring by plugging
in 110v electrical wires to the
power strip
Access Door Installation
12. Position access door as
illustrated with tabs facing
down and towards the inside
of unit (Figure 5).
13. Lift door up and tilt away
from unit so that the tabs can
slide into opening, make sure
tabs are positioned correctly
(Figure 5 & Detail B).
14. Push door in and against pre
installed tabs so the outside
is flush with the rest of the
unit (Detail B).
15. Place keys into pre-installed
key locks on access door and
turn them so that the door is
locked into place and does
not fall out (Figure 5).
10. Carefully lift and rotate the
assembled table top right
side up onto the enclosure
unit. The enclosure unit
has several pre-installed
“top fastening brackets”,
which align with pre-drilled
holes on the underside of
the assembled table top.
Move the top around on the
enclosure unit until all of
the holes in the fastening
brackets align with the
pre-drilled holes in the
underside of the table
top. Secure top fastening
brackets to underside of
table top using #12 x 5/8”
wood screws provided
(Figure 4).
Switching Hardware
Assembly
11. Place all table top modules
into the cutouts in table top,
making sure to orientate
each in the correct direction.

Monitor Display Wiring
16. Before mounting the
monitor; plug in audio,
video and electrical wires to
their proper ports. Confirm
that there is clearance or
enough space between the
Monitor Support or the wall
to accommodate the cords.
You may need to add spacers
or change the location of
the mounting hardware to
clear all the cords. Route
the audio and video wires to
the switcher and plug in the
110v electrical cord.
Note: depending on the
hardware chosen, there may be
a power sensor control item. See
separate wire instructions.
