Connecting to a network Connecting power and turning on the display for the first time SMART recommends that only trained installers install the display. This chapter is for installers. Installers should read this information along with the installation instructions included with the display before they install the display.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY IMPORTANT Move the display at your own risk. SMART cannot accept liability for damages or injury that occur during the display’s transportation. When moving the display Follow local safety regulations and standards. Keep the display in its original packaging, including the pallet.
If the display’s glass is cracked or chipped, have it professionally inspected and repaired at a SMART authorized repair center. If the display’s glass shatters, carefully clean up the area and have the display repaired or replaced.

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.
Be sure the wall you’re installing the display on can support the weight of the display and mounting equipment. If the wall can’t support the weight of the display and mounting equipment, consider using a SMART wall stand to transfer some of the weight from the wall to the floor (see smarttech.com/accessories).
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.
Page 26
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Mount the display vertically (90° relative to the floor plus or minus 2° for tolerance) and in landscape orientation. SMART doesn’t support mounting the display at other angles or in portrait orientation. Use the included wall mount. Optionally, use a VESA-approved mounting plate that is rated for the display’s weight and size.
