Important Information about Compatibility

Each SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard comes with a SMART USB
adapter cable that connects the interactive whiteboard to your computer. This cable has a DB9
connector at the interactive whiteboard end (where it attaches to the pen tray) and a USB
connector at the computer end. The adapter cable works only with version 8.1.3 (or later) of
SMART Board software for Windows operating systems or version 8.1.2 (or later) of SMART
Board software for Macintosh computers.
Windows operating systems that work
with this cable
Windows 98/98 SE, Me, 2000 and XP
operating systems
If your computer uses Mac OS X v10.1.x, or if you're using version 8.6 to 9.2 of the Mac OS
operating system with an interactive whiteboard that doesn't use DViT technology, you cannot
use the SMART USB adapter cable. You must either upgrade your operating system to Mac
OS X v10.2 (or higher), or order the original SMART USB adapter cable (P/N USB-FRU) from
SMART Technologies Inc.
Macintosh operating systems that work
with this cable
Mac OS X v10.2 or later

interactive whiteboards that use DViT
technology. (Contact Technical Support for

NOTE: If your computer doesn't have a USB port, you may order an optional 20' (6.1 m)
straight-through DB9-to-DB9 serial cable from SMART Technologies. To do this, contact
Technical Support at 1.866.518.6791 (Canada/U.S.) or +1.403.228.5940 (all other countries).
