Other Precautions
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the interactive whiteboard and its parts, please read
the following information carefully.
•Move the interactive whiteboard and its components with care.
•If you transport the interactive whiteboard over a distance, completely repackage it using the
original packaging. This packaging was designed with optimal shock and vibration protection.
If the original packaging is no longer available, pack all components with as much padding as
reasonably possible to ensure that they are not exposed to excessive vibration or shock.
99-00479-03 REV B0Important Informationi
•Clean the interactive whiteboard surface regularly so dust doesn’t build up on the surface and
adversely affect the operation of the interactive whiteboard.
•The interactive whiteboard uses digital cameras that are located inside the screen frame.
Don’t allow excess glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the frame and the writing
surface, because the cleaner could damage these cameras.
•Avoid setting up and using the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity or smoke.
•Avoid exposing the interactive whiteboard to extreme heat or cold. The operating temperature
range is from 41°F to 85°F (5°C to 29°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing). The
shipping and storage range is from 14°F to 95°F (-10°C to 35°C) with up to 80% humidity (noncondensing).
•If possible, unplug the unit before thunderstorms. However, don’t touch the unit or the unit’s
power plug during a thunderstorm, as there is a risk of electrical shock.
•Unplug the unit if you won’t use it for an extended period.
•Use safe practices when you’re plugging in the power cable. For example, make sure your
hands are dry, and don’t insert the plug into a dusty power outlet. Unplug the power cable
before you install or service any components.
•This product has a three-wire grounding-type plug, which will only fit into an AC groundingtype power outlet. Make sure an AC power outlet is near the interactive whiteboard and

Overview
You can use your interactive whiteboard to do everything you can do at a computer workstation—
open files, conference with others, create new documents or edit existing ones, play video clips,
and so on—simply by touching the interactive whiteboard. You can also write over applications in
digital ink using your finger or a pen tray pen, and then save your notes in SMART Notebook™
software for future reference and distribution.
The In-Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard is designed to be set into the
wall of a customized meeting room or classroom. Your projector casts a computer image directly
onto the screen from a rear projection room and because the image on the screen is
rear projected, you can stand in front of the interactive whiteboard without casting a shadow.
The interactive whiteboard uses DViT™ (Digital-Vision Touch) technology for touch and tool
recognition. This technology uses specialized digital cameras to track the position of a pen tray
tool or your finger and to communicate that position to a computer.
The current models of In-Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboards are:
•1710 (66" diagonal (167.6 cm) screen)
•1810 (71" diagonal (180.3 cm) screen)
•1910 (84" diagonal (213.4 cm) screen)
•2876 (71" diagonal (180.3 cm) screen with a mirror stand and a projector)
•2976 (84" diagonal (213.4 cm) screen with a mirror stand and a projector)
NOTE: You can use any projector with the 1710, 1810 or 1910 interactive whiteboard. The 2876
and 2976 interactive whiteboards include an NEC VT676 projector.
You will need to create a wall opening and install the interactive whiteboard into this opening. The
In-Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard is designed for use with a computer
and a projector, so you’ll need a projection room behind the interactive whiteboard to house the
projector and the computer. However, you can locate the computer in the same room as the
screen if that location is more convenient.
The installation process varies slightly if you have a model that comes with a mirror stand.
However, the major steps for all installations include:
•preparing to install the interactive whiteboard (page 3)
•creating the wall opening (page 5)
•installing the interactive whiteboard (page 9)
•connecting the cables (page 19)
•setting up the projector (page 21)
This guide also includes information on using (page 29) and maintaining (page 33) your interactive
whiteboard, and specification drawings for each model (pages 37 to 48).
NOTE: For more information on using the various tools and applications included with SMART
Board software, see the SMART Board software online Help.
99-00479-03 REV B0Overview1
Note for 1710, 1810 and 1910 Owners
The size of your projection room will vary, depending on the distance required by your projector to
project an image of the appropriate size. For example, with an 1810, you might need to place the
projector 8' to 12' (2.4 m to 3.7 m) from the screen. If the distance required by the projector is
longer than your room, you can install one or two mirrors to project the correct image size onto the
screen. For more information, see the instructions supplied with your projector, or consult your
local reseller.
Note for 2876 or 2976 Owners
Both the 2876 and the 2976 include an NEC VT676 projector with a custom short-throw lens.
You’ll have to install the mirror stand (page 16) and install the projector into the mirror stand
(page 21). You must install the stand a short distance from the rear of the interactive screen.
•For the 2876, the maximum distance between the lower cabinet of the mirror stand and the
wall surface upon which you mount the interactive whiteboard is 3 1/4" (8.3 cm).
•For the 2976, you must allow at least 15" (38.1 cm) between the lower cabinet of the mirror
stand and the wall surface upon which the interactive whiteboard is mounted.
If you have a 2876 and you construct a room to house the mirror stand, make it approximately
4' (1.2 m) deep to provide room for projector maintenance access.
If you have a 2976 and you construct a room to house the mirror stand, make it approximately
5' (1.5 m) deep to provide room for projector maintenance access.
You’ll find some cleaning instructions for the VT676 projector on page 34. However, you should
also read the NEC VT676 User’s Manual that’s supplied with your projector for full details on use,
care and cleaning.
2Overview99-00479-03 REV B0
Preparing to Install Your Interactive Whiteboard

Creating the Wall Opening
To install your In-Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard, you need to create a
rectangular opening in your wall and finish it with wood stud framing. The wall opening must have
vertical studs running from the floor to the ceiling.
CAUTIONS
If you’re not sure how to create an opening in your wall, consult with a professional
familiar with the structure of your room.
Use appropriate tools to create the opening.
If you’re installing a 2876, your wall thickness can’t be greater than 3 1/4" (8.3 cm).
Otherwise the optics of the mirror stand will adversely affect the projected image.
NOTE: If you’re constructing a room to house the projector and its stand, ensure you make the
room deep enough to provide access for projector maintenance.
•If you have a 2876 and you construct a room to house the mirror stand, make it approximately
4' (1.2 m) deep to provide room for projector maintenance access.
•If you have a 2976 and you construct a room to house the mirror stand, make it approximately
5' (1.5 m) deep to provide room for projector maintenance access.
You’ll find the dimensions and specifications for your model in Appendix A on page 37. While the
dimensions in this section are the suggested minimum, you should make your opening slightly
larger to accommodate shim material, thereby ensuring that your finished opening has rightangled corners.
The optimal height from the floor to the center of the wall opening is 57 1/2" (146.1 cm).

99-00479-03 REV B0Creating the Wall Opening5
square corners.
NOTE: Most measurements in this guide assume that your wall opening, and therefore the middle
of the screen, is at this height. For the 2876 or 2976, if you place the screen at a different height,
you’ll have to raise or lower the mirror stand so that the center of the projected image is aimed at
the center of the screen. In particular, the vertical center of the image should align with the center
of the screen.
CAUTION
Don’t remove the protective cover from the rear surface of the interactive
whiteboard until you’ve completely installed it in the wall opening.
To create the wall opening
1. Select an appropriate location for the opening. While this may be dictated by the location of
the projection room, an ideal site is a central area that is visible from all parts of the room, at a
comfortable height for writing. The optimal height of the wall opening, as measured from the
floor to the center of the wall opening, is 57 1/2" (146.1 cm).
2. Cut a rough hole through the wall at the appropriate height that, when finished with wood stud
framing, has the following minimum dimensions:
–For a 1710, the finished wall opening must measure at least 53 7/8" W × 43 1/4" H
(136.8 cm × 110.0 cm)
–For an 1810, the finished wall opening must measure at least 57 7/8" W × 46 1/4" H
(147.0 cm × 117.5 cm)
–For a 1910, the finished wall opening must measure at least 68 5/8" W × 54 3/8" H
(174.3 cm × 138.1 cm)
–For the 2876, the finished wall opening must measure at least 57 7/8" W × 46 1/4" H
(147.0 cm × 117.5 cm)
–For the 2976, the finished wall opening must measure at least 68 5/8" W × 54 3/8" H
(174.3 cm × 138.1 cm)
IMPORTANT
While these dimensions represent the minimum size for the opening, you
should make your opening 1/4" (0.6 cm) larger to accommodate shim
material and to ensure that your finished opening has right-angled corners.
6Creating the Wall Opening99-00479-03 REV B0
3. Frame the wall opening with vertical and horizontal wood framing.
The rough wall opening should be
larger than the suggested minimum to
accommodate shim material and to
ensure the finished wall opening has
square corners.
The rough wall opening must
have vertical studs running
from the floor to the ceiling.
90°
Dual Installation
If you want, you can install two in-wall units side by side. When you do this, you must leave a small
space between the interactive whiteboards. This space should be slightly greater than 1/4"
(0.6 cm), which means you must leave approximately 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) between the two wall
openings.
Leave approximately 3 3/4" (9.5 cm)
between the two wall openings.

Installing Your Interactive Whiteboard
In this section, you’ll:
•attach mounting brackets to the interactive whiteboard (this page)
•install the interactive whiteboard into the wall opening (page 12)
•create a wall opening for the cables (page 13)
•mount the pen tray assembly on the wall (page 14)
•(2876 or 2976 only) install the mirror stand in the projection room (page 17)
IMPORTANT
When you install the interactive whiteboard, make sure you can also remove it from
the wall opening, in case you need to service it later.
CAUTION
Don’t remove the protective cover from the rear surface of the SMART Board
interactive whiteboard until you have completely installed it in the wall opening. If
this cover is accidentally removed, don’t leave any fingerprints on the rear of the
screen. If you do smudge this surface, spray a soft cloth with alcohol-free glass
cleaner, and then gently and carefully dab the surface until the marks are removed.
Don’t spray the cleaner directly onto the rear of the screen.
Never, under any circumstances, apply isopropyl alcohol, water or acetone to the
rear surface of the interactive whiteboard. These fluids could damage the diffusion
coating, resulting in a permanent deterioration in display quality.
Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Interactive Whiteboard
Before you can mount the interactive whiteboard into the opening in your wall, you must attach the
L-shaped mounting brackets to both sides of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
The short side of the “L” (the narrow flange) attaches to the frame of the interactive whiteboard,
while the long side (the wide flange) projects from it. When you install the unit into the opening,
you’ll secure the long side (wide flange) of the bracket to the vertical wood framing.
Before you complete the following procedure, obtain the four hex screws, the four split
lockwashers and the 3/16" hex key from the accessory kit. You’ll also need the two mounting
brackets.
99-00479-03 REV B0Installing Your Interactive Whiteboard9
To attach the mounting brackets to the interactive whiteboard
1. Place foam or a soft cloth onto a smooth, flat surface upon which you can rest the frame of the
interactive whiteboard.
2. Carefully place the interactive whiteboard face down on the foam or soft cloth. Take care to not
bend the interactive whiteboard.
3. Position each L-shaped mounting bracket against the frame, as shown below. Align the screw
hole and post in each corner of the frame with the screw hole and keyhole in the bracket.

4. Slip each of the four screws through a split lockwasher, and then insert them into the
appropriate bracket holes at the top and bottom of each bracket.
5. Tighten all screws with the supplied hex key so that the mounting brackets are securely
attached to the frame of the interactive whiteboard.
Install the Interactive Whiteboard in the Wall Opening
When you have attached the mounting brackets to the interactive whiteboard, you can install it into
the wall opening. You’ll need the No. 10 wood screws from the accessory kit and a Phillips® No. 2
screwdriver (not supplied).
NOTE: You’ll have screws left over when you’ve finished the installation.
For a perfectly flush fit, you can make shallow depressions or indentations in the drywall or
wallboard material at the edge of the wall opening. These indentations will accommodate the
screw heads and posts that protrude from the rear of the frame. When the unit is installed, you
won’t see these indentations, because the frame will cover them. To achieve this flush installation,
make three depressions on each side (six in total), with each depression approximately 1/2"
(1.3 cm) in diameter and 3/8" (1.0 cm) deep.
IMPORTANT
Before you install the interactive whiteboard into the wall, check that the wall is
even.
If you fit a large interactive whiteboard into an uneven wall, it is important that you
don’t flex the interactive whiteboard by forcing it to fit flush with the wall. The
interactive whiteboard has to be flat (not twisted or warped) for its digital cameras
to work correctly.
