mount the product at the appropriate height.

l To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the display to rain or moisture.

l If the display requires replacement parts, make sure the service technician uses

replacement parts specified by SMARTTechnologies or parts with the same characteristics

as the original.

l Ensure that any cables that cross the floor to the display are properly bundled and marked

to avoid a trip hazard.

l Do not insert objects inside the cabinet ventilation holes, because they could touch

dangerous voltage points and cause electric shock, fire or product damage which may not

be covered by the warranty.

l Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. Damage to the cable could cause shock,

fire or product damage which may not be covered by the warranty.

l Useonly extension cords and outlets that can fully accommodate the display’s polarized

plug.

l Use the power cable provided with the display. If a power cable is not supplied, contact

your supplier. Use only power cables that match the AC voltage of the power outlet and that

comply with your country’s safety standards.

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.

13 smarttech.com/kb/171164

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

l When transporting the display, do the following:

Follow local safety regulations and standards.

Keep the display in its original packaging.

Move the display so that its top frame faces up.

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).

14 sma rttech.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 the original packaging or replacement packaging purchased from

your authorized SMART reseller. 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).

15 smarttech.com/kb/171164

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Installing the display on a wall

Typically, you install the display on a wall in a classroom or meeting space.

Choosing a location

A display is typically installed at the room’s focal point, such as at the front of a classroom or

meeting room.

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 users, including those in wheelchairs, to access the

display.

The location is clearly visible to all users in the room. For more

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.

There are no nearby shelving units, desks or other furniture that has

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10).

Power and other connections

The location is close to the following:

A power outlet

A network outlet (if you plan to use a wired network connection)

A room computer (if you plan to connect a room computer)

Speakers and other devices that you want to connect to the display

The location is not where the mains power supply enters the building.

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.

16 smarttech.com/kb/171164

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Factor Considerations

Environment and ventilation

The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s

specifications (see More information on page10).

The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust.

There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so

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

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.

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.

CHAPTER 2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Mounting multiple displays

If you mount multiple displays side by side, you can connect a RS-232 cable from the rightmost

display’s RS-232OUT connector to the next rightmost display’s RS-232IN connector, and so forth,

to turn on, turn off and otherwise operate all of the displays from the right-most display’s

convenience panel.

IMPORTANT

Use only standard RS-232 cables. Do not use a null modem cables. Null modem cables typically

have ends of the same type.

NOTE

For more information on using RS-232 cables for remote management, see Appendix B:

Remotely managing the display on page85.

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

(smarttech.com/kb/171035).
