Attaching A Stand To Your Asus 228H Monitor: A Guide

The ASUS VS228H monitor features a detachable stand that can be replaced with a VESA wall mount. The stand can be detached by first disconnecting the power and signal cables, then placing the monitor face down on a clean table. The plate covering the stand neck can then be pulled away, and the four screws securing the stand to the monitor can be removed with a screwdriver. Finally, the stand can be detached from the monitor. It is recommended to cover the table with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the monitor.

Detach the power and signal cables

To detach the power and signal cables from your Asus VS228H monitor, first ensure that the monitor is switched off and that all cables are disconnected from the power source. This step is crucial for safety reasons and to avoid any potential damage to the device.

Once the power source is disconnected, carefully identify the power and signal cables attached to the monitor. These cables are typically located at the back of the monitor and may vary in number and type depending on your specific setup. Take note of the orientation and arrangement of the cables to facilitate the reattachment process later on.

Gently grasp each cable by the connector or the plug, never by the cable itself, as this can cause strain on the connection. Slowly and carefully, detach each cable from the monitor, one at a time. If the cables are secured with screws or other fasteners, be sure to use the appropriate tool to loosen them before attempting to remove the cables. Place the detached cables safely away from the workspace to avoid any accidental tripping or entanglement.

After detaching all the cables, take a moment to inspect the connectors for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Clean the connectors if necessary, using appropriate cleaning materials, such as cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol. Proper maintenance of the connectors will ensure optimal signal transmission and prevent any potential issues.

It is important to note that the power and signal cables provide critical functions to the monitor, so handle them with care. If you plan to set aside the monitor for an extended period, consider wrapping the cables neatly and securing them with cable ties or elastic bands to prevent tangles and facilitate easier reattachment when you need to use the monitor again.

Place the monitor face down on a table

To place the monitor face down on a table, you must first disconnect the power and signal cables. This is an important safety precaution to prevent any damage or accidents. Once the cables are disconnected, carefully place the front of the monitor face down on a clean, flat table. It is recommended that you cover the table surface with a soft cloth to prevent any scratches or damage to the monitor.

Gently pull away the plate that covers the stand neck with your fingers. This will expose the screws that secure the stand to the monitor. Hold the stand firmly while you use a screwdriver to remove these screws. Once the screws have been removed, you can detach the stand from the monitor.

The VESA wall mount kit (100 x 100 mm) is purchased separately if you plan to mount the monitor on a wall. It is important to use a UL Listed Wall Mount Bracket that meets the minimum weight and load requirements for your specific monitor model. This information can be found in the specification table of your monitor's user manual.

Remove the plate covering the stand neck

To remove the plate covering the stand neck of your ASUS monitor, you'll need to prepare your workspace and the monitor itself. Here's a detailed, step-by-step guide:

Prepare Your Workspace:

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools: a Phillips-head screwdriver and a soft cloth. The screwdriver is essential for removing screws, and the cloth will protect your monitor from scratches.

Power Down and Disconnect:

Ensure your safety and protect your equipment by powering off your monitor and disconnecting all cables, including power and video connections.

Position the Monitor:

Gently lay your monitor face down on the soft cloth. This position will prevent scratches on the screen and provide a stable base for your work.

Locate the Plate Covering the Stand Neck:

On the back of your monitor, you'll find the attachment point where the stand connects. This is where the plate covers the stand neck.

Remove the Plate:

Using your fingers, gently pry away the plate that covers the stand neck. It may require some gentle force to detach it, but be careful not to damage the surrounding area. You can also use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully wedge under the plate and lift it away.

Set Aside the Plate:

Once removed, set the plate aside in a safe place. Keep it with the screws you will remove in the next steps for easy access during reassembly.

Inspect for Residual Attachments:

Before proceeding, take a moment to inspect the area for any lingering attachments or screws. Leaving anything behind could affect the stability of your monitor when reassembling.

Now that you've successfully removed the plate covering the stand neck, you can continue with the next steps to detach the stand completely. Remember to work carefully, maintain a tidy workspace, and refer to the user manual for model-specific instructions if needed.

Unscrew the four screws attaching the stand to the monitor

Unscrewing the four screws attaching the stand to the monitor is a delicate process, so it's important to be careful and patient. Here's a step-by-step guide:

• Disconnect the power and signal cables from the monitor. This is an important safety precaution as it will prevent any accidental damage or electrical hazards.
• Place the monitor face down on a clean, covered table. Use a soft cloth to cover the table surface and protect the monitor screen from scratches or damage.
• Gently pull away the plate that covers the stand neck. This will expose the screws securing the stand to the monitor.
• Using a suitable screwdriver, carefully remove the four screws. Hold the stand of the monitor firmly while doing this to avoid putting too much pressure on the monitor itself.
• Once the screws are removed, carefully detach the stand from the monitor.

By following these steps, you can safely unscrew the four screws attaching the stand to the ASUS 228H monitor and detach the stand without causing any damage to the monitor.
