Compatibility
The Ergotron 97-617 is designed for selected dual-display configurations in the WorkFit-S, WorkFit-SR, WorkFit-C and WorkFit-A product families.
Compatibility depends on the exact workstation model. Confirm the model number before ordering, particularly if your workstation has been modified or upgraded.
Installation and Ergonomic Use
Install the conversion kit according to Ergotron's instructions for the compatible WorkFit platform. The supported monitor weight depends on the underlying workstation, so do not assume that every WorkFit model has the same capacity.
For a more ergonomic laptop setup, Ergotron recommends using the laptop with a separate external keyboard. This allows the laptop screen and keyboard to be positioned more appropriately for extended computer use.
DC Supplies Product Note
The 97-617 is a conversion accessory rather than a complete workstation. The compatible WorkFit base, laptop and monitor are not included unless explicitly stated by the seller. Check the workstation part number, monitor mounting pattern and platform weight capacity before purchase.
