Cart Overview

CART OVERVIEW AND DIMENSIONS

The Avizia Extended Height Cart for the Cisco MX200/MX300
is designed to transform the way people learn and the way
instructors present material in a collaborative, geographically
distributed environment. With the advent of Cisco
TelePresence conferencing, many organizations have realized
the advantages of maintaining a virtual learning environment
with a remote site, while still being able to collaborate using
high-quality presentations.

The unique design of this versatile system helps ensure
stability while easily transporting the system throughout
commercial and educational institutions. The extended
height of the display is well suited for classroom
environments, enabling participants seated toward the back
of the room to view the display.

Features and Benefits

• Integrated column mounting hardware for the MX200 or
MX300 helps ensure stability and differentiation with no
VESA mount required.

• A gas assist-lift cylinder allows for easy height adjustment
from 52.84 inches (1342.14 mm) to 60.84 inches (1545.34
mm), helping ensure that students in the back of a
classroom can participate in the videoconference.

• Egress holes in the column simplify cable management.

• A lockable storage shelf secures the Cisco TelePresence

Touch interface, microphone, and XGA cable.

• The cart has heavy-duty 7-inch premium casters with a
rear locking mechanism.

Cart Assembly

CAUTION: Attachment holes may be damaged if a power
drill is used to insert button head cap screws. Screws should
first be inserted and turned BY HAND with the hex key or with
a handheld screwdriver BEFORE using a hex head drill bit and
power drill (optional) to complete the attachment.

1. Assemble two legs (A and B) to the column assembly (D)

using two 5/16-18 x 4-1/4” button head cap screws (E)
and one end cap (C) per leg.

NOTE: When attaching the legs, make sure the larger
holes are on the outside and the smaller holes on the

Assembly and Installation

Cable Installation

1. Starting from the back of the column, the display power

cord and network cable can be run through the cutout
towards the top of the post and down through the front
of the post.

WARNING: Ensure that the cables are running down
the front side of the post covered by the rubber cable
sleeves as opposed to the back of the post that houses
the gas cylinder locking pin.

2. Once the display power cord and network cable are at
the bottom of the post, pull the cords out through the
back egress towards the base of the post. Pulling the
cords out from the right side of the gas cylinder is easiest.

3. Run the content sharing (DVI to VGA) cable through the
cutout towards the top of the post starting with the VGA
end of the cable. Then run the cable down the front
of the post covered by the rubber cable sleeves,out
through the egress in the front middle of the post, and
through the back cutout of the storage shelf which will
be installed in a later step.

4. Route cables from the touchpanel and microphones
through the storage shelf, out the back cutout of the
storage shelf, through the cutout on the front middle of
the post, up the post (staying behind the rubber cable
sleeves), and out through the cutout towards the top of
the post.
