What to Expect in the Main Box
Your gControl Panel Computer will arrive with two boxes:
Box 1 contains the computer itself.
Box 2 includes the mounting hardware and accessories.
Here’s what you should receive:
Computer Box:
- gControl Panel Computer.
Mounting Parts Box:
- G-shaped Panel Mounting Clamp. (Some reference for assembly to the machine with the Mounting Bracket here)
- VESA Plate.
- Pillar Stand.
- (2)Plastic Clip.
- Arm Mount Bracket. (not included with the AltMill 4×8 kit, check it here)
- Hardware bag (MA, MB, MC) ⚠️ You won’t use these.
- Hardware bag (G, J, K, L).
- Monitor Arm.
- (2)Wi-Fi Antennas.
- An external AC/DC power adapter.
- (6)M5x8mm + (6)M5 Flat washers (for arm mount bracket).
- A small bag containing (8)M4x5mm Pan Head Screws (for VESA plate installation on the back of the machine).
- Monitor Desk Mount Manual. PDF version here. (You can also see the tips in this document, which comes printed with the machine.)
You may not need to use all the provided items, as extra parts are included.
Although the manual refers to using M4x12mm (MA) or M5x12mm (MB) screws, those are too long and won’t fit properly. Instead, use the 8 black M4x5mm pan-head Phillips screws as recommended.
AltMill 4X8 Kit
If you have an AltMill 4×8 kit, the mounting setup is slightly different:
- The metal mounting bracket is not included and is no longer used
- Plastic mounting clamps are included instead
Follow the same installation steps as shown on this page, using the plastic mounting clamps in place of the metal bracket.
You can also refer to the printed instruction sheet included with your kit here: gControl Plastic Mount Paper Instructions
Notes:
- The screen comes with a protective film that can be removed for better touchscreen response. Check the System Specifications for more details.
- For the AltMill MK2 please remove the one screw on the Y-end plate to install the mounting bracket (for the silver one only).
