8070i-G4-SMP interactive flat panels) or to a room computer and
up to two guest laptops (SMARTBoard 8084i-G4-SMP interactive
flat panels). You can also connect external speakers, DVD
players, document cameras and other devices.

Connecting power and devices
Connecting the room computer
Using the supplied USB and HDMI cables, connect the room computer to the USB1 receptacle and
the HDMI3/PC connector on the I/O extension module, which is located on the back of your
interactive flat panel.

N O T E
SMARTBoard 8084i-G4-SMP interactive flat panels support 4K UHD (3840×2160). However, you
can only connect computers and other devices that output this resolution to the HDMI1 and HDMI2
connectors on the bottom connector panel, not the HDMI3/PC connector on the I/O extension
module. You can customize the USB mappings to map the USB1 receptacle on the I/O extension
module to the HDMI1 or HDMI2 connectors on the bottom connector panel (see page 81).
Connecting cables for laptops
You can install cables that enable users to connect laptops to your interactive flat panel from another
location in the room, such as on a conference table. By installing these cables, you make use of
connectors that might not be accessible when your interactive flat panel is wall-mounted.
You can then run the cables across floors or behind walls to the conference table.
W A R N I N G
Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART product are properly bundled and
marked to avoid a trip hazard.
Connecting laptop cables to SMARTBoard 8070i-G4-SMP
interactiveflatpanels
You can connect up to one laptop to a SMARTBoard 8070i-G4-SMP interactive flat panel.
