Assembly / Setup
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.

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.

2. Align desks next to each other in their nal location and raise monitor
compartment lids.
3. Attach desks together with a unit-to-unit bracket and (4) 1/4-20 x

5. CPU installation (Note-some desks may 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 prole
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.
Figure 4.1
Install Tip: The friction dampener can
be disengaged from the lid to provide
additional clearance when installing the
monitor assembly. To disengage, release
the clip with a at screwdriver and push
the dampener arm off the pivot. The lid
can now be tilted away from the lift column.
Push the arm back onto the pivot after the
monitor has been installed. Figure 4.2

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.

Maintenance
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. Figure 9.
