If access to the back of the display will be difficult, you can attach all cables to each display before installation on the wall mount and turn the main power switch ON () before placing the display flush against the wall. You can perform any desired color calibration before mounting, or you can install a USB extension cable in the USB port to facilitate color calibration in the future.

If you will be installing the HP LD4730 Framing System, do so after all displays have been mounted and adjusted.
