Compatibility and Installation Notes
The 97-845 is listed for compatible Ergotron WorkFit-S, WorkFit-A and WorkFit-T products, as well as VESA mounts that do not provide portrait/landscape adjustment or have that adjustment locked. Confirm compatibility with your specific workstation or monitor arm before ordering.
Important: Portrait-to-landscape pivot rotation is unavailable when this kit is installed. The kit adds approximately 1 lb (0.45 kg) to the mounting system, so the supporting mount's rated capacity must be reduced accordingly. The monitor must not exceed 29 lb (13.2 kg), and the complete setup must remain within the supporting mount's own load limits.
Frequently Asked Questions

It raises a compatible single monitor to provide additional vertical positioning between the screen and keyboard.

3. Which VESA mounting patterns does it support?
It supports 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting patterns.
