Installing your interactive whiteboard system

Choosing a height

SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorized SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do the
following:
Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining enough space
l
for airflow and installation access above the unit.
Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the
l
projected image with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average
height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a position
for your interactive whiteboard.

Securing the projector to the boom

To learn how to secure the SMART UF75 projector to the boom, see the included SMART Board
480i5 interactive whiteboard system installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/156695).

Routing the cables

When connecting cables from a SMART UF75 projector to your computer, make sure that all cables
pass along the top of the interactive whiteboard wall-mounting bracket and then down the side of the
interactive whiteboard.

If the cables overlap each other behind the interactive whiteboard, they could interfere with the way
the interactive whiteboard rests against the wall. Before you mount the interactive whiteboard, it is
recommended that you use cable-management straps to appropriately position the cables on the
wall.
