SMART Board Installation Guide 1
The SMART Board™
The SMART Board is an interactive, electronic whiteboard that can be
used with or without a projector. The three SMART Board models – the
340, the 360 and the 380 – can be mounted either on a floor stand or on
a wall. The SMART Board 340 can also be mounted on a table stand or
the partition wall of an office cubicle.
The SMART Board’s touch-sensitive screen enables you to do everything
you can do at a computer workstation −open files, conference with
others, create new or edit existing documents, play video clips, etc. −
simply by touching the Board. You can also write over applications in
electronic ink using a Pen Tray pen or your finger, and then save your
annotations to a computer file for future reference and distribution.
Supplied SMART Board Software
The SMART Board comes with two programs – the SMART Board driver
and SMART Notebook™ – collectively called SMART Board Software.
The SMART Board driver activates your SMART Board, allowing you to
use your finger as a mouse, annotate over an application with electronic
ink, and use Board-aware applications. SMART Notebook allows you to
create and organize notes on either a SMART Board or at your desktop,
and then save, print or e-mail those notes.
These programs are distributed with the SMART Board and are also
available free-of-charge from our Web site at www.smarttech.com.
The use of these programs is described in detail in the companion
manual to this installation guide, the SMART Board User’s Guide.
However, the procedure for installing the SMART Board Software is
described in the section of this guide entitled “Installing SMART Board
Software.”
2 SMART Board Installation Guide
About this Guide
A SMART Board can be mounted on a floor stand or on a wall; the
SMART Board 340 can also be mounted on a table stand. The specific
instructions for mounting a SMART Board on a floor stand are described
in the set of instructions provided with the floor stand.
This guide describes all the procedures for mounting a SMART Board on
a wall. It also provides instructions for other important procedures that
apply to both wall-mounted and floor stand-mounted SMART Boards.
These include SMART Pen Tray™ attachment, Pen Tray connection to
the computer and power source, SMART Board Software installation, and
projector set-up and alignment.
This manual is for both Windows®and Macintosh®users of the SMART
Board. Almost all of the procedures and descriptions in this manual apply
to either system. However, any information that applies solely to
Windows users is accompanied by a window icon in the margin, and
information relating only to Macintosh users is distinguished by a similarly
placed apple icon.
NOTE: Procedures common to both Windows and Macintosh are
described in terms of Windows conventions.

4 SMART Board Installation Guide
Recommended Tools
While the following tools are not shipped with the SMART Board, we
recommend that you have them on hand to help you in the assembly and
mounting process.
•bubble level
•measuring tape
•masking tape
•a pencil
Attaching the Pen Tray to the Whiteboard
Hardware Required
•two Pen Tray mounting brackets
•Pen Tray
•Robertson screwdriver (supplied)
•MOD4 cable (the shorter, black cable with mini RJ11 4-wire
connectors at either end)
Activity Overview
To attach the Pen Tray to the whiteboard, you will:
1. Attach the Pen Tray brackets to the Pen Tray
2. Connect the MOD4 cable to the whiteboard
3. Attach the Pen Tray to the whiteboard
4. Connect the MOD4 cable to the Pen Tray
The series of steps involved in each of these activities is described in
detail below.
Step 1: Attach the Pen Tray brackets to the Pen Tray
1. Place the Pen Tray topside down on a flat surface.
2. Using the Robertson screwdriver supplied, remove all four
Robertson screws from the underside of the Pen Tray.
3. Lay the flat side of the brackets on the back of the Pen Tray.

4. Align the holes in the brackets with the holes in the underside of
the Pen Tray.
5. Insert the four screws you removed in step 2 into the holes in the
flat side of the brackets (two screws on each side). Tighten the
screws with the Robertson screwdriver just enough to hold the
Pen Tray securely. Do not overtighten these screws; the brackets
should be securely, but not rigidly, fixed.
Step 2: Connect the MOD4 cable to the whiteboard
1. Place the whiteboard on its side, with the mini RJ11 socket on
the underside of the whiteboard bezel (frame) facing toward you.
2. Grasp the mini RJ11 connector at one end of the MOD4 cable so
that the locking tab faces down and the contacts face up.
Warning
Do not overtighten the
Robertson screws
when attaching the
Pen Tray brackets to
the Pen Tray. The
brackets must be
sufficiently moveable
for a later attachment
step.

3. Insert the mini RJ11 connector into the mini RJ11 socket on the
underside of the whiteboard.
Step 3: Attach the Pen Tray to the whiteboard
1. Remove the two Robertson screws from the rear of the
whiteboard (located on the bottom edge).
2. Place the angled side of the Pen Tray bracket over each screw
hole, then replace the screws and fasten loosely.
NOTE: If the screws do not align correctly with the holes, loosen
the bracket screws on the underside of the Pen Tray, align the
holes, and then tighten the bracket screws again.
