7
C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
best presentation alignment, mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location that’s central to
your audience’s viewing direction.
Ensure that there is enough room along the interactive whiteboard system’s left side to access the
Power button of the appliance that’s mounted to the back of the interactive whiteboard.
For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
W A R N I N G
l Refer to your interactive whiteboard system’s specifications (available at
smarttech.com/support) for its weight. Check your local building codes to ensure that your
wall can support this weight, and use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.
l If you are installing the interactive whiteboard system on drywall, use all the included toggle
bolts. If one of the bracket holes aligns with a wall stud, use appropriate hardware in that hole
instead of a toggle bolt.
l When mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach both the mounting
bracket and the safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only
drywall anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in possible personal injury, and damage to the
product which may not be covered by your warranty.
If you’re replacing a SMARTBoard 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the SMARTBoard
800 series interactive whiteboard on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount bracket and mounting
hardware, and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets supplied with your SMARTBoard
800 series interactive whiteboard instead.
To help ensure that your interactive whiteboard is mounted correctly, make sure the colors of the wall-
mount hanger on the back of the interactive whiteboard and the wall-mount bracket are the same.
Choosing a height
SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorized SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do the
following:
l Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining enough space
for airflow and installation access above the unit.
l Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the
projected image with the touch screen.

Before you connect the audio system to the projector, you must install the speaker brackets,
speakers and speaker cable clips. Mount the speakers directly to your interactive whiteboard.
Connect the speakers to the projector connection panel using the dual-channel (left and right) RCA
plug-to-3.5 mm phone connector cable included with the speakers.
To learn how to install your audio system, see the SBA-L Projection Audio System installation guide
(smarttech.com/kb/142552).
Routing the cables
When connecting cables from your SMARTUF75 projector to your interactive whiteboard system,
make sure that all cables pass along the top of the interactive whiteboard wall-mounting bracket and
then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.
When connecting cables from a SMARTUF75w projector to the interactive whiteboard, make sure
that all cables pass between the two interactive whiteboard wall-mounting brackets. Space your wall-
mounting brackets 4" (10.2 cm) apart to provide full support for the weight of your interactive
whiteboard.
