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

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.
