Installing and securing your SMART Board interactive whiteboard
Installing your SMART Board interactive
whiteboard
Follow the procedure outlined in the installation document included in your interactive whiteboard's
box to install your interactive whiteboard. If you purchased a floor stand, wall-mount or an interactive
whiteboard system that includes a projector or other components, refer to the installation documents
included with these components. The optimal mounting height is 77" (196 cm) from the floor to the
center of the installation brackets. However, consider the general height of your user community
when you choose a location for wall-mounting your interactive whiteboard. If you mount your
interactive whiteboard too low, it might force tall people to bend over uncomfortably. If it's too high,
other people might need to reach up too far. Also remember to leave enough room on either side of the
interactive whiteboard so that you can stand beside it.

Two people are required to safely mount your interactive whiteboard because it is too heavy
l
for one person to safely maneuver. When you and your assistant lift your interactive
whiteboard, support its weight at the bottom, avoiding the corner cameras, and balance the
top with your other hands.
The weight of the interactive whiteboard is approximately 52 lb. (23.7 kg) for the 880 model
l
and 61 lb. (27.5 kg) for the 885 model. Check your local building codes to ensure that your
wall can support this weight, and use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.

If you need to lean the interactive whiteboard against a wall before you mount it, make sure it
l
remains in an upright position, resting on the pen tray brackets, which can sustain the weight
of the interactive whiteboard.
Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of the frame, or on the corners
l
where the cameras are located.
Installation tips
Ensure the bottom of the pen tray is unobstructed at all times, because you will need to access
l
it if the interactive whiteboard requires service.
Install your interactive whiteboard on a flat, plumb wall.
