    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY IMPORTANT Transport the display at your own risk. SMART cannot accept liability for damages or injury that occur during the display’s transportation. When transporting the display, do the following: Follow local safety regulations and standards. Keep the display in its original packaging.
  • Page 25: Installing The Display On A Wall

    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Dealing with cracked, chipped or shattered glass The display contains safety-tempered glass. Although this glass is heat-strengthened to help withstand impacts, the glass can crack, chip or shatter if struck with enough force. (Safety glass is designed to break into small pieces rather than sharp shards if it is broken.) Temperature changes can cause a minor crack or chip to become worse, possibly causing the glass to shatter.
  • Page 26: Choosing A Location

    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Choosing a location A display is typically installed at the room’s focal point, such as at the front of a classroom or meeting space. Selecting an appropriate location for the display is crucial for ensuring the best possible experience with the product.
  • Page 27 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Factor Considerations Visibility The display’s screen is clearly visible to all users in the room. SMART recommends users sit within a 178° viewing area: NOTE The viewing area depends on the display’s resolution and a variety of other factors.
  • Page 28: Choosing A Height

    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Factor Considerations Environment and The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s ventilation specifications (see More information on page 9). The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust. Ventilation systems don’t blow air directly on the display. There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so that heat can flow away from it and the mounting equipment.
  • Page 29: Selecting Mounting Hardware And Tools

    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY NOTE Refer to the display’s specifications for its weight (see More information on page 9). In some situations, you may need to request an engineering analysis to determine if the wall can support the display. Selecting mounting hardware and tools The mounting hardware and tools required for installation vary according to the type of wall onto which the display is being mounted.
  • Page 30 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Non-standard orientation can affect ventilation, creating hotpots in equipment, premature failures and, in displays that use projectors, exploding projector bulbs. Mount the display vertically (90° relative to the floor plus or minus 2° for tolerance) and in landscape orientation.
  • Page 31: Mounting Multiple Displays

    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Use the included wall mount. Optionally, use a VESA-approved mounting plate that is rated for the display’s weight and size. If you’re not using the included bolts to fasten the wall mount to the display, see the following table.
  • Page 32: Installing The Display On A Stand

    CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY SMART recommends that you mount no more than three displays in a convex arrangement. NOTE Different displays support multiple-display configurations to varying degrees. Consult a display’s documentation before including it in a multiple-display configuration. Although a computer can support up to 16 touch-sensitive displays, the demands on the computer and graphics card increase as you add more displays.
