Installing the Rubber Feet

You may want to use your thin client in a horizontal orientation. If your unit has VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) holes in the side, you can install rubber feet on the left side of the unit. The rubber feet help keep the unit safely in place.
To install the rubber feet:
1. Locate the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) holes in the left side of the thin client.
CAUTION: If you use the thin client in a horizontal orientation without the rubber feet, it may slide
and result in equipment damage. If your unit does not have VESA mounting holes, you will need to obtain the optional side panels with VESA mounting holes.
2. Remove the feet from their backing.

3. Align the feet with their holes and press them in securely.
Figure 1-5 Installing the rubber feet

Installing the Stand

If your unit does not have VESA mounting holes, you will need to use the thin client in a vertical orientation and install the stand for stability.
To install the stand:
1. Turn unit upside down.
2. Locate the slots on the bottom of the unit into which the tabs on the stand fit. Position the stand
with the wide part toward the front of the unit. Align the tabs on the widest part of the stand with the slots approximately 7.6 cm (3 inches) from the front of the unit and the tabs on the narrower part with the slots approximately 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) from the rear of the unit.
3. Insert the tabs into the slots, then press the stand down and slide it toward the rear of the thin client
until it locks into place.
