Connecting computer 2

You can connect a second laptop to the installed USB cable and video cable that is connected to the
back terminal panel of your interactive flat panel. If those cables aren't installed, connect the laptop to
the side terminal panel (see Connecting a guest laptop on page 51). For a diagram of the various
computer options, see Connecting computers to your interactive flat panel on page 18.

The laptop must have SMART Product Drivers installed. If it doesn't, you need to connect the
laptop to the interactive flat panel using a SMART GoWire cable. If you purchased an
SBID8055i-SMP or SBID8055ie-SMP model, you can use the supplied SMART GoWire cable to
connect your laptop to the interactive flat panel. For more information, see Using a SMART GoWire
cable on page 52.
