1. Unlock monitor column
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.

• Do not plug power cords into an extension cord.
• Inspect power cords for damage before each use. Do not use cords
that are damaged.
• Unplug power cord from electrical outlet by gripping the cord-do not
unplug by pulling only on the cord.
• Do not step on, drive over, drag, or place objects on power cords.
• For added safety, plug into a grounded outlet controlled by a GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit breaker.
• Damaged electrical components can create signi cant hazards to

Warning - Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not speci cally
designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or
serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child.
Warning - Death or serious injury may occur when children climb
on audio and/or video equipment furniture. A remote control or toys
placed on the furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the
furnishing and as a result the furnishing may tip over on to the child.

under the leg. This may require two people. Figure 2.
2. Thread the two glides into the leg, tighten securely, and remove block.
3. Repeat this procedure on the other side of the desk.
4. The glides can be adjusted with the included glide wrench to level the desk if necessary.

4. Monitor installation
1. Attach the VESA mount (buttery-shaped portion) to the back of your
at panel monitor with (4) M4 x 12mm PHM screws. (Holes on top,
slots on bottom). Figure 4A. Note: On most at panel monitors, it
will be necessary to remove the standard base that comes with the
monitor to use the VESA mounting option.
2. Thread (2) 10-24 x 1/2” SHC screws into the upper rectangular plate
at the back of the VESA mount-leave about 1/8” between the screw
head and plate.

3. Align the attached VESA mount with the lift column slots and insert
the upper pair of 10-24 SHC screws through the slots using the
access holes provided near the center of the slots. Figure 4B.
4. Slide the monitor assembly downward, then install the lower pair of
10-24 SHC screws through the slots.
5. Locate the monitor assembly at the desired height on the lift column
then tighten all (4) 10-24 SHC screws. If the monitor is located near
the very top of the column, leave a small gap between the top of the
monitor and lift bracket to provide enough clearance for the monitor to
fully tilt. The gap distance needed will vary with monitor size.

5. CPU installation (Note-some desks do not include CPU slings)
1. Set the CPU unit into the CPU sling.
2. 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 5A.
Note: The center slot can be used for better support of smaller prole
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 5A. Thread
the strap as shown in Figure 5B.

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

4. With the loom removed, feed the monitor, keyboard, and mouse cords through the sliced opening of the loom to the bottom of the desk as shown.
Figure 6D.
5. Split the CPU wires out of loom approximately 3/4 of the way down the loom and plug into the CPU.
6. Reattach the loom with the clips while providing enough slack in the loom to allow the monitor column to fully extend and retract.
7. 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. Figure 6D.
8. Secure the CPU / Ethernet cords to the bottom of the wiring tray with a zip tie.
9. Use zip ties to secure additional cords as needed.

For computer use:
1. Open the monitor compartment lid.
2. Raise the monitor by pulling up on the lift bracket until fully extended.
3. Take out the keyboard and mouse and set on the worksurface.
For classroom (worksurface) use:
1. Place the keyboard and mouse in the compartment tray under the monitor.
2. Lower the monitor by pushing down on the lift bracket until the column is fully retracted, then close
the monitor compartment lid. Lockable desks can be locked at this point for security.
After approximately 300 cycles of opening and closing, the friction dampener
on the worksurface 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.
