SMART recommends that only trained installers install the display.
This chapter is for installers. Installers should read this information along with the installation
instructions included with the display before they install the display.
WARNING
Improper installation of the display can result in injury and product damage.

Transporting the display

After your organization receives the display, you need to transport it to the place where you plan
to install it.
On occasion, you might also need to move the display to another location after initially installingit.
IMPORTANT
l Transport the display at your own risk. SMART cannot accept liability for damages or injury
that occur during the display’s transportation.
11 smar ttech.com/kb/171164
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
l When transporting the display, do the following:
o
Follow local safety regulations and standards.
o
Keep the display in its original packaging.
o
Move the display so that its top frame faces up.
o
Have at least two people move the display.

Using transportation aides

You can use the following aides to transport the display:
l Cart
l Furniture dolly
l Mechanical lift
NOTE
The display features eyebolt mounting holes for use with mechanical
lifts. Refer to the installation instructions for information on using a
mechanical lift.

Accommodating doorways, hallways and elevators

In some situations, you might need to remove the display from its packaging to move it through
narrow doorways or hallways or on to an elevator. In these situations, SMART recommends that
you keep the foam pieces on the bottom corners of the display. These foam pieces protect the
display if you need to set it down during transport.
You might also need to rotate the display so that its top frame faces to the side. You can do this
during transportation, but when you install the display, it must be in landscape orientation (with the
top frame facing up).
12 smarttech.com/kb/171164
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Dealing with cracked, chipped or shattered glass

The display contains safety-tempered glass. Although this glass is heat-strengthened to help
withstand impacts, the glass can crack, chip or shatter if struck with enough force. (Safety glass is
designed to break into small pieces rather than sharp shards if it is broken.) Temperature changes
can cause a minor crack or chip to become worse, possibly causing the glass to shatter. See
Shattered glass on an interactive display for information about conditions that can cause the
display’s glass to shatter even when it’s not in use.
If the display’s glass is cracked or chipped, have it professionally inspected and repaired at a
SMART authorized repair center. If the display’s glass shatters, carefully clean up the area and have
the display repaired or replaced.
CAUTION
For safety and to prevent further damage, do not continue to install or use the display if its glass
is cracked, chipped or shattered.

Saving the original packaging

Save the original packaging to repack the display with as much of the original packaging as
possible in case you need to transport the display again after you initially install it. This packaging
was designed to provide the best possible protection against shock and vibration.
CAUTION
Transport the display only in original or replaced packaging. Transporting the display without
correct packaging can lead to product damage and voids the warranty.
NOTE
If the original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase the same packaging directly from your
authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).

Installing the display on a wall

Typically, you install the display on a wall in a classroom or meeting space.
13 smarttech.com/kb/171164
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Choosing a location

A display is typically installed at the room’s focal point, such as at the front of a classroom.
Selecting an appropriate location for the display is crucial for ensuring the best possible
experience with the product. Consider the following factors as you choose a location:
Factor Considerations
Room setup
The location allows teachers and students, including those in
l
wheelchairs, to access the display.
The location is clearly visible to all students in the classroom. For more
l
information, see Recommended viewing distances and viewing angles
for SMARTBoard interactive displays.
The display will not be installed where it could be hit by a door or gate.
l
There are no nearby shelving units, desks or other furniture that has
l
doors or drawers that could hit the display.
Wall support The wall can support the weight of the display and mounting equipment.
Refer to the model’s specifications for the weight of the display (see More information on page9).
Power and other connections
The location is close to the following:
l
o
A power outlet
o
A network outlet (if you plan to use a wired network connection)
o
A room computer (if you plan to connect a room computer)
o
Speakers and other devices that you want to connect to the display
The location is not where the mains power supply enters the building.
l
Lighting The location is not near bright light sources, such as windows or strong
overhead lighting. Infrared (IR) lighting can cause issues with presence detection.
Acoustics The location has good acoustics.
TIP
Stand in different parts of the room and count to ten loudly. If you hear anything other than your own voice (such as a rattle, buzzing from elsewhere in the room or echoes), the room may require some modifications to improve the acoustics. Work with an audio specialist to improve the acoustics.
14 sma rttech.com/kb/171164
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
Factor Considerations
Environment and ventilation
The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s
l
specifications (see More information on page9).
The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust.
l
There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so
l
that heat can flow away from the unit and the mounting equipment.
If you’re planning to install the display in a recessed area, there is at least
l
4" (10 cm) of space between the display and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and cooling.

Choosing a height

Consider the general height of the user community when you choose the height for the display.
SMART recommends that you mount the display so that its top is 6'5" (1.9m) from the floor.
15 smarttech.com/kb/171164
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Mounting the display

Mount the display following the included installation instructions. In addition, consider the
following:
l Mount the display vertically (90° relative to the floor plus or minus 2° for tolerance) and in
landscape orientation. SMART doesn’t support mounting the display at other angles or in
portrait orientation.
l Use a standard VESA mounting plate.
16 smarttech.com/kb/171164
CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
l Use M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket.
Screw length 12 mm + x mm < M8 < 45 mm + xmm
where x is the combined thickness of the wall bracket and washer
Fasten force
97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the screws.
NOTE
SMART recommends M8 × 30 mm mounting screws for standard installations where the
total wall mount bracket and washer thickness is less than 7 mm.
l Because the receptacles might not be easily accessible after you mount the display, consider
connecting cables for power, room computer and other devices while the display is still in its
packaging (see Chapter 3: Connecting power and devices on page19).

Mounting multiple displays

If you mount multiple displays side by side, connect the displays using RS-232 cables. This will
allow you to turn on, turn off and otherwise operate all of the displays from the right-most display’s
convenience panel.

For more information on using RS-232 cables for remote management, see Appendix B:
Remotely managing the display on page73.

Installing the display on a stand

If you want to move the display from place to place or if it’s not possible to install the display on a
wall, you can install it on a stand.
IMPORTANT
If you install the display on a stand, do not move the stand while the display is on.
For information on selecting and using a third-party stand, see SMART installation standards
