Installation Recommendations

Conduct a "Bench Test"

Gamber-Johnson strongly advises a "bench test" be conducted to verify that all electronic and software issues are resolved prior to installation:

1. Make sure computer is operational by itself.
2. Insert computer into docking station and verify that the display is operating in the dock.
3. Interconnect entire assembly and verify start-up of all components, including other equipment (printers, modems, scanners, etc.).

Attaching Strain Relief Bracket

A cable Strain Relief Bracket is provided in the hardware bag. This bracket will provide a mounting platform to secure all interface cables. It is recommended that all cables are secured to the Strain Relief Bracket.

1. Lay docking station on its front face to expose rear mounting surface
2. Align the Strain Relief Bracket mounting holes with the two holes in the metal housing on the bottom of the docking station (FIG C).
3. Using a #2 Phillips Screw Driver secure the Strain Relief Bracket using the two #8-32 X.25 Screws provided in the hardware bag.

Mounting

The docking station can be mounted to any 75mm VESA hole pattern, or to the following Gamber-Johnson products:

• VESA Adaptor Bracket (7160-0206)
• Wall Mount Bracket (7160-0195)

Connecting Peripherals

Ensure that all wires have strain relief protection. Strain relief is accomplished by using the Tie Slots in the Strain Relief Bracket to secure the supplied Cable Ties. Be sure there are sufficient Service Loops in the cables to remove any stress on the connectors. To assure compliance with FCC, Part 15, Class B rules, only use shielded interface cables when connecting peripherals.
