5. Installation Instructions

Before installation, ensure your desk meets the minimum thickness and clearance requirements. It is recommended to have assistance for lifting and positioning the computer tower.

1. Measure Your PC:

   Measure the height and width of your computer tower to ensure it falls within the stand's adjustable ranges (Height: 17"-25", Width: 9"-14").

3. Adjust Stand to PC Size:

   Before mounting, adjust the stand's height and width to fit your PC. Use the adjustment knobs to loosen and slide the frame components. Ensure the protective padding aligns with your PC's surfaces to prevent scratches.

4. Mark Mounting Holes:

   Position the stand under your desk where you intend to mount it. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting screws. Ensure the stand is positioned to allow easy access to your PC's ports and for optimal airflow.
5. Drill Pilot Holes:

   Using a 5/32 inch (4 mm) drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes at the marked locations. To prevent drilling through your desk, mark the drill bit with tape at 0.6 inches (15 mm) from the tip.

6. Secure the Stand:

   Align the stand with the pilot holes and use the provided mounting screws (approximately 19 mm long) to secure it firmly to the underside of your desk. Do not overtighten the screws, but ensure they are snug to prevent wobbling.

7. Insert PC into Stand:

   Carefully lift your computer tower and slide it into the adjusted stand. Ensure it rests securely on the bottom support and is held firmly by the side arms. The protective padding should cushion the PC.

6. Operation and Adjustments

The VIVO CPU Tower Stand allows for easy adjustments to accommodate different PC sizes and preferences.

• Height Adjustment: To adjust the height, loosen the hex screws on the vertical bars. Slide the lower section up or down to the desired height and re-tighten the screws. There are multiple pre-drilled holes for precise height settings.
• Width Adjustment: To adjust the width, loosen the adjustment knobs located on the top horizontal bar. Slide the side arms inward or outward to fit your PC snugly, then re-tighten the knobs.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and adjustment knobs to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Padding Inspection: Inspect the protective padding for wear and tear. Replace if significantly damaged to ensure continued protection for your PC.

8. Troubleshooting

• Stand feels wobbly: Ensure all mounting screws are securely tightened to the desk. Verify that the height and width adjustment screws/knobs are fully tightened after positioning your PC.
• PC does not fit: Re-measure your PC and compare with the stand's specifications. Ensure the stand's height and width adjustments are set to their maximum range if needed.
• Screws not holding: This indicates insufficient desk thickness or improper pilot hole drilling. Ensure your desk is at least 0.75 inches thick. If issues persist, consider using alternative mounting hardware suitable for your desk material, or consult a professional.
• Lack of airflow: While the stand is designed for optimal airflow, ensure no cables or other objects are obstructing the PC's vents.
