how to install StarTech.com Desk Mount Monitor Arm

• Step 1: Unpack all components and verify that you have the monitor arm, VESA plate, mounting hardware, and the chosen mounting base (clamp or grommet). Inspect for any shipping damage and ensure you have the appropriate screws for your monitor’s VESA pattern (75x75 or 100x100 mm).
• Step 2: Determine your mounting location. If your desk edge can accommodate a clamp, position the clamp around the edge with the pad or protective cover in place to prevent surface damage. If you prefer a grommet mount, locate a desk hole or grommet slot that aligns with the mounting hardware and supports the arm’s load.
• Step 3: Attach the mounting base. For clamp installation, tighten the clamp securely so there is no wobble. For grommet installation, insert the mounting hardware through the desk’s hole and tighten the base from underneath to create a stable anchor point.
• Step 4: Attach the arm to the mounting base. Align the arm’s base with the clamp or grommet connector and tighten the connection until it feels solid. If the design includes a quick-connect feature, secure it per the provided instructions to allow later detachment if needed.
• Step 5: Install the monitor plate onto your display using the standard 4-screw pattern and verify that the weight and VESA pattern are supported. Attach the monitor to the arm, then tighten the neck joints and arm joints to eliminate play while preserving smooth movement.
• Step 6: Route cables through the built-in channels, ensuring cords are not pinched or kinked. Leave enough slack to allow full range of motion without cable interference, then connect power and peripheral cables to your monitor and devices.
• Step 7: Power up your devices and perform a full range-of-motion test. Adjust tilt, swivel, and rotation to verify stability and friction; tighten any adjustment knobs if the monitor drifts or moves unintentionally. Finally, position the screen at eye level for optimal ergonomic alignment.
