Chapter 2: Using your  ASUS 

All-in-One PC

Assembling the base

1. 

Place the ASUS All-in-One PC on a flat and stable surface such as 

a table or desk.

2. 

Align and attach the base to the stand. Ensure that the stand is 

fitted firmly and aligned properly to the base.

NOTE:  

The stand fits to the base in one orientation only. 

3.  

Secure the base to the stand with the bundled stand screw. 

NOTE:

  The bundled stand screw is tool-less by design but you can also 

use a Phillips or a flat screwdriver, a coin, or a token to install it.

NOTE: 

The illustration above is for reference only. The actual All-in-One 

PC may slightly vary depending on the model but the installation steps 

remains the same.
