Using SMART mobile stands

SMART mobile stands are designed for SMART interactive displays. They are height-adjustable.
Some models include integrated speakers, a locking cabinet to secure equipment and casters that
swivel and lock for easy movement.

requirements:

Details
The stand must support the combined weight of the SMART product
and all its accessories and components. Make sure the dimensions of
the stand are also properly accommodated.
If the stand has an equipment enclosure, the enclosure must provide
adequate ventilation for the SMART product and any accessories.
Damage that results from overheating caused by improper installation is
not covered by warranty and may also void the warranty.
Stands must be approved by Underwriters Laboratories or a similar
independent body. This approval indicates that the mounts have been
tested for proper adherence to safety regulations. These regulatory
tests go beyond the equipment's loading restrictions, helping to
guarantee that the stand will be safe when used properly. If the stand is
not approved by a regulatory body, it may fail to support the weight of
the SMART product.
A low center of gravity helps make the system more stable. The ability
to reduce the height is useful during transport.
NOTE
Take care that equipment beneath the mounted SMART product is
not damaged when it is lowered. Movement of the SMART product
can also damage cables if the cables are pinched or bent.
Mount speakers directly on the stand itself rather than on the SMART
product.
Large wheels make it easier to cross door thresholds and move the
stand over a variety of surfaces.
Using a stand with handles helps prevent the application of pressure
directly to the SMART product during transport. Applying pressure to the
SMART product's frame directly can twist the frame during transport.
