You might also need to rotate the display so that its top frame faces to the side. You can do this during transportation, but when you install the display, it must be in landscape orientation (with the top frame facing up). 12 smarttech.com/kb/171164 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. See Shattered glass on an interactive display for information about conditions that can cause the display’s glass to shatter even when it’s not in use. If the display’s glass is cracked or chipped, have it professionally inspected and repaired at a SMART authorized repair center. If the display’s glass shatters, carefully clean up the area and have the display repaired or replaced. CAUTION For safety and to prevent further damage, do not continue to install or use the display if its glass is cracked, chipped or shattered. Saving the original packaging Save the original packaging to repack the display with as much of the original packaging as possible in case you need to transport the display again after you initially install it. This packaging was designed to provide the best possible protection against shock and vibration. CAUTION Transport the display only in original or replaced packaging. Transporting the display without correct packaging can lead to product damage and voids the warranty. NOTE If the original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase the same packaging directly from your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where). Installing the display on a wall Typically, you install the display on a wall in a classroom or meeting space. 13 smarttech.com/kb/171164 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. Selecting an appropriate location for the display is crucial for ensuring the best possible experience with the product. Consider the following factors as you choose a location: Factor Room setup Considerations Wall support The location allows teachers and students, including those in wheelchairs, to access the display. The location is clearly visible to all students in the classroom. For more information, see Recommended viewing distances and viewing angles for SMART Board interactive displays. The display will not be installed where it could be hit by a door or gate. There are no nearby shelving units, desks or other furniture that has doors or drawers that could hit the display. The wall can support the weight of the display and mounting equipment. Refer to the model’s specifications for the weight of the display (see More information on page 9). Power and other connections The location is close to the following: A power outlet A network outlet (if you plan to use a wired network connection) A room computer (if you plan to connect a room computer) Speakers and other devices that you want to connect to the display The location is not where the mains power supply enters the building. Lighting The location is not near bright light sources, such as windows or strong overhead lighting. Infrared (IR) lighting can cause issues with presence detection. Acoustics The location has good acoustics. TIP Stand in different parts of the room and count to ten loudly. If you hear anything other than your own voice (such as a rattle, buzzing from elsewhere in the room or echoes), the room may require some modifications to improve the acoustics. Work with an audio specialist to improve the acoustics. 14 smarttech.com/kb/171164 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Factor Environment and ventilation Considerations The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s specifications (see More information on page 9). The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust. There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so that heat can flow away from the unit and the mounting equipment. If you’re planning to install the display in a recessed area, there is at least 4" (10 cm) of space between the display and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and cooling. Choosing a height Consider the general height of the user community when you choose the height for the display. SMART recommends that you mount the display so that its top is 6' 5" (1.9 m) from the floor. 15 smarttech.com/kb/171164 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Mounting the display Mount the display following the included installation instructions. In addition, consider the following: 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. 16 Use a standard VESA mounting plate. smarttech.com/kb/171164 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY Use M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket. Screw length 12 mm + x mm < M8 < 45 mm + x mm where x is the combined thickness of the wall bracket and washer Fasten force 97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m) CAUTION Do not over-tighten the screws. NOTE SMART recommends M8 × 30 mm mounting screws for standard installations where the total wall mount bracket and washer thickness is less than 7 mm. Because the receptacles might not be easily accessible after you mount the display, consider connecting cables for power, room computer and other devices while the display is still in its packaging (see Chapter 3: Connecting power and devices on page 19). Mounting multiple displays If you mount multiple displays side by side, connect the displays using RS-232 cables. This will allow you to turn on, turn off and otherwise operate all of the displays from the right-most display’s convenience panel. 17 smarttech.com/kb/171164 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY NOTE For more information on using RS-232 cables for remote management, see Appendix B: Remotely managing the display on page 73. Installing the display on a stand If you want to move the display from place to place or if it’s not possible to install the display on a wall, you can install it on a stand. IMPORTANT If you install the display on a stand, do not move the stand while the display is on. For information on selecting and using a third-party stand, see SMART installation standards (smarttech.com/kb/171035). 18 smarttech.com/kb/171164 Chapter 3 Connecting power and devices Connecting power Connecting to a network Connecting cables for room computers, guest laptops and other input sources Using recommend cables Connecting to the connector panel Connecting to the convenience panel Viewing a connected computer or other device’s input Connecting external speakers Connecting other devices Connector reference Display connector panel Display convenience panel iQ appliance Other connectors 20 20 21 22 22 23 23 23 24 25 25 26 26 27 Connect the display to power after you install it but before you turn it on for the first time and configure the iQ appliance.

Evaluating the impact of Screen Share on your network data usage When you connect your device or computer to the display using Screen Share, the screen sharing protocol compresses the image from your device or computer. The protocol may transmit only areas of the screen that change. This can make it difficult to estimate the impact of Screen Share on a network where many users would like to screen share simultaneously. For example, in a school where 30 teachers are using Screen Share simultaneously, 10% of teachers might be streaming video while 90% might be sharing static content with occasional updates. In such an instance, you could expect to see an additional 5 Mbps in network traffic. Use the following table to help estimate the impact of wireless Screen Share on your network. 34 smarttech.com/kb/171164 CHAPTER 4 CONFIGURING THE DISPLAY Content being shared Data rate transmission Static content with minor screen movement 20 kb/sec Static content with periodic scrolling or Spikes briefly to 500–600 kb/sec, returns to 20 refreshes kb/sec Gaming or streaming video with major screen 700 kb/sec–1.2 Mbps changes Updating system software When the display is connected to the Internet, it updates the system software and the firmware automatically.
