SMART OPS appliances
SMART offers a variety of OPS appliances that can be installed in the display's accessory slots.
Caution
Only SMART-provided OPS appliances are supported in SMART Board interactive displays. Third-party OPS appliances are not supported, and their use can lead to poor performance or damage to the display.
Do not install or remove the OPS appliance while the display is turned on. First make sure the power switch on the back of the display beside the AC power inlet is in the OFF (O) position. If you can’t reach the power switch, use the front control panel’s power button
to put the display in Standby mode, and then unplug the display’s power cable from the power outlet.After you have turned the display’s power switch off or unplugged it, wait at least 30 seconds before removing the appliance to allow its internal power supplies to discharge completely. You might also wait five minutes to give the appliance the opportunity to cool, if necessary.
Make sure the OPS appliance is secured to the display with screws through the two anchor points. Inadequately secured appliances can damage the display. (An OPS appliance's anchoring screws are typically captive, although some simply include separate anchoring screws.)
