Installing your SMART Board 800
Follow the procedure outlined in the installation document included in the interactive whiteboard’s box to install the interactive whiteboard. If you purchased a floor stand, wall-mount or an interactive whiteboard system that includes a projector or other components, refer to the installation documents included with these components. The optimal mounting height is
Warning
Safely mounting the interactive whiteboard requires two people. It is too heavy for one person to safely maneuver. When you and your assistant lift the interactive whiteboard, support its weight at the bottom, avoiding the corner cameras, and balance the top with your other hands.
The weight of the interactive whiteboard is approximately
Caution
If you need to lean the interactive whiteboard against a wall before you mount it, make sure it remains in an upright position, resting on the pen tray brackets, which can sustain the weight of the interactive whiteboard.
Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of the frame, or on the corners where the cameras are located.
Installation tipsEnsure the bottom of the pen tray is unobstructed at all times, because you will need to access it if the interactive whiteboard requires service.
Install the interactive whiteboard on a flat, plumb wall.
If you’re installing the interactive whiteboard on drywall, use all the toggle bolts supplied. Because one of the mounting bracket holes aligns with a wall stud, use appropriate hardware in that hole instead of a toggle bolt.
Ensure that the power supply cable is connected to the correct receptacle in the pen tray, as shown below.
Replacing an existing interactive whiteboard on drywallIf you’re replacing a SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the heavier SMART Board 800 series on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount bracket and mounting hardware, and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets supplied with the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard instead.
Caution
To help ensure that the interactive whiteboard is mounted correctly, make sure the color of the wall-mount hanger on the back of the interactive whiteboard and the color of the wall-mount bracket are the same.
Securing the pen tray to the interactive whiteboardBecause the pen tray is detachable, you might want to safeguard it—and the interactive whiteboard—by anchoring it with a security cable (not included). Underneath the pen tray, you’ll find a lock slot that accommodates a security cable, such as a Kensington lock.
Important
Securing the pen tray can provide theft deterrence for the interactive whiteboard because the screws that secure the interactive whiteboard to the wall are located directly behind the pen tray and cannot be removed without first detaching the pen tray. In effect, when you secure the pen tray, you also secure the interactive whiteboard if the security cable is tight.
To secure the pen tray to the interactive whiteboard
Loop the security cable behind the pen tray brackets before you secure them to the wall.
Thread the lock end of the cable through the loop end of the cable.
Verify that the cable is tight enough that you can’t remove the pen tray while the lock is in place, and then install the pen tray.
Insert the prong end of the security cable into the lock slot, and then complete the pen tray installation by locking it.
Securing the pen tray to the bracketsBecause you can remove the pen tray without tools, you might want to securely attach it to its brackets.
To secure the pen tray to the brackets
Insert two No. 8/M4 screws (not included) into the holes indicated by a lock symbol on the bottom of the pen tray.
