Unlock monitor column first
Note: Every Flex Insight desk ships with one or two carriage bolts with wing
nuts locked in a keyhole slot under the bottom of the keyboard tray. These
fasteners prevent monitor column movement during shipping, and will need
to be removed to get the monitor column to function. A picture of the bolt
and wing nut is shown here from the back side of the desk. To remove,
unscrew the wing nut by hand, and slip the bolt out of the keyhole slot. The
fasteners should be retained for reuse if you will be transporting the desk.
If you transport the desk (in a trailer or truck) it is recommended to replace
the carriage bolt and wing nut. To replace, start the wing nut on the end of
the bolt and push the monitor column down into the lowered
position. Wiggle the head of the bolt into the slot from the large side of the
keyhole. Let the monitor column rise slightly to put tension on the wing
nut. Tighten down until monitor column does not move and is secure.

2 Connecting Desks Together
1. Installing Glides
A. Carefully lift one side of the desk and place a short wooden 4x4 or 2x4 block (or equivalent support) under the leg.
This may require two people. Figure 1.
B. Thread the two glides into the leg, tighten securely, and remove block.
C. Repeat this procedure on the other side of the desk.
D. The glides can be adjusted with the included glide wrench to level the desk if necessary.

3. Installing Flat Panel Monitor
A. Loosen the back panel JC bolts slightly with a 4mm hex wrench, lift off the back panel, and open the monitor compartment lid
B. Attach the Swivel VESA mount to your flat panel monitor with (4) 4mm PHM screws. Figure 3A.
Note: On most flat panel monitors, it will be necessary to remove the standard base that comes with the monitor to use the
VESA mounting option.
C. Position your monitor with the lift column and align the VESA mounting holes with the lift column slots. Leave a small gap between the
top of the monitor and lift bracket to provide clearance for the monitor to fully tilt.
D. Attach the swivel VESA mount and monitor to the lift column with (4) 10-24 x 1/2" screws as shown in Figure 3B.
Tighten screws securely.

4. Installing CPU
A. Set the CPU unit into the CPU sling.
B. Make sure the CPU will be supported by both straps. Tighten the straps around the
CPU while keeping the buckles positioned as high as possible to avoid interference. Figure 4A.
Note:The center slot can be used for better support of smaller profile CPU's.
If the center slot is necessary, take the rear strap out of the rear slot and thread
into the center slot shown in Figure 4A. Thread the strap as shown in Figure 4B.

5. Cord Management
A. With the back panel removed, connect the necessary monitor, keyboard, and mouse cords above the work surface.
B. Position the keyboard as shown approximately 6" from the front edge of the work surface with the mouse on the opposite side of the
CPU as shown. Figure 5A. This will provide enough slack in the cords during normal use and provide for left and right mouse locations.
With a zip tie, secure cords to the back of the keyboard tray as shown.
C. The wire loom keeps monitor and keyboard cords together and routes them while the monitor is being raised and lowered.
Using a flat head screwdriver, pry open each loom clip to release the wire loom. Figure 5B & 5C.

F. Split the CPU wires out of loom approximately 3/4 of the way down the loom and plug into CPU.
G. Reattach the loom with the clips while providing enough slack in the loom to allow the monitor column to fully extend and retract.
H. Secure the CPU cords to the bottom of the loom by attaching a zip tie around the loom directly above where the CPU cords exit the
loom. This will prevent the cords from backing out of the loom. Figure 5D.
I. Secure the CPU/Ethernet cords to the bottom of the wiring tray with a zip tie.

Maintenance
●After approximately 300 cycles of opening and closing, the friction dampener on the work surface lid
should be retightened to 13 in-lbs using a torque wrench with a 4mm hex driver. If a torque wrench
is unavailable, tighten the friction damper with a 4mm hex wrench 1/8 turn at a time and test. The
correct adjustment is when the lid slows down between 2-4" from closure. Figure 6.
