CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3 
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
 
Before Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 
or SBD600i3 Interactive Whiteboard 
System
Choose a location for your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard 
system that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows or overhead lighting. 
Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on your interactive whiteboard 
and can reduce the contrast of the projected image.
Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and minimum clearance to accommodate your 
SMART Board interactive whiteboard system. Make sure that the UF55/UF55w 
projector and your interactive whiteboard are installed on the same flat surface. For 
best presentation alignment, SMART recommends that you mount your interactive 
whiteboard system in a location that’s central to your audience’s viewing direction. For 
mobile installation or adjustable installation options, contact your
. If the mounting surface is slightly irregular or if you’re unable to mount your 
interactive whiteboard system on a stud, see Mounting SMART Board Interactive

Recommended Mounting Heights
SMART includes a mounting template with each of its SMART Board 600i3 or 
SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard systems. If you lose this template, contact your
 
. Using this template ensures that you:
Mount the UF55/UF55w projector at a safe height for head space clearance, 
while maintaining enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
Position the projector at the correct height above your 600 or SBD600 series 
interactive whiteboard so that the projected image aligns with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that’s suitable 
for adults of average height. Although you should consider the general height of your 
user community when you choose a position for your interactive whiteboard, consult 
your local regulations before mounting the unit.
WARNING
When mounting the projector on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting 
bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you 
use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and 
possible personal injury.
If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector boom will be free 
to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit 
without supporting the projector boom first.
