To activate an SBPD connected to a Windows computer USB port:
1. Insert the USB connector end of the USB-to-serial adapter into an available USB port on
the computer. The DB9 end of the cable should have been connected previously, as
explained on page 9.
2. If you already have the appropriate USB driver installed on your system, the Ready Light
on the Pen Tray will turn red and you can proceed to install SMART Board Software (Step
3 below).
If you don't have the appropriate driver installed, a Found New Hardware wizard will
appear to assist you in locating the driver for the newly connected USB Human Interface
Device.

The Ready Light on the SMART Pen Tray will turn red. This indicates that the Pen Tray is
receiving power from the USB port.
3. Insert the SMART Board CD into your CD-ROM drive and follow the on-screen instructions
to install the SMART Board Software.
Immediately following SMART Board Software installation, you'll notice the Ready Light on
the Pen Tray turns from red to green. This indicates that the SBPD is now fully touch-
sensitive.
4. If you added SMART Board Tools to your StartUp menu during the software installation, it
will automatically open when you restart your computer. However, you can also open
SMART Board Tools at any time by going to Start, Programs, SMART Board Software
and selecting SMART Board. With SMART Board Tools open, you can now write over top
of any application with the Pen Tray styluses.
