Selecting Mounting Hardware; Selecting A Wall Mount; Mounting The Display - Smart Technologies SMART Board MX100 Series Installation And Maintenance Manual

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
NOTE
Refer to the display's specifications for its weight (see More information on page 7).
In some situations, you may need to request an engineering analysis to determine if the wall can
support the display.

Selecting mounting hardware

The mounting hardware required for installation varies according to the type of wall onto which the
display is being mounted.
Refer to Installation best practices for SMART products (smarttech.com/kb/171035) for the
mounting hardware required for the display.

Selecting a wall mount

It is always best to mount the display on a wall. If the wall can't support the display's weight, you
can use additional hardware to transfer some of the weight to the floor.
The display includes a pre-attached wall bracket which can be used to mount the display to the
wall. See the SBID-MX165, MX175, MX186, MX265, MX275 and MX286, MX365, MX375, MX386
installation instructions (smarttech.com/kb/171274).
Contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where) for information on SMART's
mounting options.
If you choose a third-party option rather than one of SMART's mounting options, be sure the wall
mount can accommodate the display's dimensions and support the display's weight as well as the
weight of any attached accessories.

Mounting the display

Mount the display following the included installation instructions. In addition, consider the
following:
The electrical and mechanical components of a display are designed to work properly when the
display is mounted in the orientation described in its installation instructions. Mounting the display
in a different orientation can cause malfunctions and will void the display's warranty.
