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. Pack the display in its original packaging, including the pallet. Move the display so that its top frame faces up.
Chapter 2 Installing the display Dealing with cracked, chipped, or shattered glass The display contains safety-tempered glass. Although this glass is heat-strengthened to help withstand impacts, the glass can crack, chip or shatter if struck with enough force. (Safety glass is designed to break into small pieces rather than sharp shards if it is broken.) Temperature changes can cause a minor crack or chip to become worse, possibly causing the glass to shatter.
Chapter 2 Installing the display Choosing a location A display is typically installed at the room’s focal point, such as at the front of a classroom or meeting space. Selecting an appropriate location for the display is crucial for ensuring the best possible experience with the product.
Page 24
Chapter 2 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.
Chapter 2 Installing the display Factor Considerations Environment and The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s specifications (see More information on page 19). ventilation The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust. Ventilation systems don’t blow air directly on the display. There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so that heat can flow away from it and the mounting equipment.
Chapter 2 Installing the display 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.
Page 27
Chapter 2 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.
Installing the iQ appliance and Intel Compute Card For SMART Board MX series displays For more information about installing the iQ appliance in SMART Board MX series displays, see the SMART Board MX series interactive display installation instructions (smarttech.com/kb/171274). Caution Install the AM50 iQ appliance and Intel Compute Card before you turn on the display for the first time.
Chapter 2 Installing the display Connecting the Intel Compute Card With the SBID-MX365, SBID-MX375, and SBID-MX386 models, you can insert an Intel Compute Card in the slot on the AM50 iQ appliance to access the card’s Windows 10 operating system from the display. Important Make sure the Intel Compute Card is inserted before you turn on the display.
Chapter 2 Installing the display If you’re using one of the display’s RJ45 jacks to connect to a network, you can connect a computer to the other RJ45 jack to provide network access for the computer (pictured). This is particularly useful if there is only one wired network connection in the room.
Chapter 2 Installing the display connect an Ethernet cable from a network outlet to the display’s RJ45 IN jack, and then connect another Ethernet cable from the display’s RJ45 OUT jack to the AM50 appliance’s RJ45 jack Connecting power and turning on the display for the first time The final step in installing and configuring the display is to connect power and turn it on.
Page 32
Chapter 2 Installing the display To turn on and set up the display for the first time Important Install the OPS PC module before you turn the display on. Notes Touch is not available right after waking up the display or turning it on. Wait a few seconds and then the display will respond to touch.
Chapter 2 Installing the display 9. If the display isn’t using a wired network connection, select a wireless network, and then tap Next. Important The display needs an internet connection for downloading and installing important updates. Ask the network administrator to confirm that the network has been correctly configured for the iQ experience.
