C Mounting the Thin Client HP Quick Release This thin client incorporates four mounting points on each side of the unit. These mounting points follow the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard, which provides industrystandard mounting interfaces for Flat Displays (FDs), such as flat panel monitors, flat displays, and flat TVs. The HP Quick Release connects to the VESA-standard mounting points, allowing you to mount the thin client in a variety of orientations.
2. Using four screws included in the mounting device kit, attach the other side of the HP Quick Release to the device to which you will mount the thin client. Make sure the release lever points upward. Figure C-3 Connecting the HP Quick Release to another device 3. Slide the side of the mounting device attached to the thin client (1) over the other side of the mounting device (2) on the device on which you want to mount the thin client. An audible 'click' indicates a secure connection.
