The weight of the interactive flat panel is 169.8 lb. (77 kg). Refer to local building codes to ensure

your installation area can support this weight. For more information, see SMARTBoard E70

interactive flat panel installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170533).

This chapter provides additional considerations and details for installing your interactive flat panel.

Choosing a mounting location

Consider the following when you select a location for the interactive flat panel:

l The wall must be strong enough to support the interactive flat panel and the mounting equipment.

The interactive flat panel weighs 169.8 lb. (77 kg).

l Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your

interactive flat panel. For best presentation alignment, mount your interactive flat panel in a

location that’s central to your audience’s viewing direction.

l Choose a location for your interactive flat panel that’s far from bright light sources, such as

windows and strong overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on

your interactive flat panel and can cause glare.

For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller

(smarttech.com/where).

Choosing a mounting height

ensure the cables aren’t a trip hazard. The use of channels and raceways safely hides cables. For

accessories and options, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
