Choosing a location
Choose a location for your SMART Board X800i4 interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright
light sources, such as windows or strong 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 interactive
whiteboard system. Install the projector and your interactive whiteboard on the same flat surface. For
best presentation alignment, mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location central to your
audience’s viewing direction. For mobile installation or adjustable installation options, contact your
authorized SMART reseller (
).

The SMART Board X880 interactive whiteboard weighs approximately 52 lb. (23.7 kb).
Check your local building codes to ensure that your wall can support this weight, and use
appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.
l
If you’re installing the interactive whiteboard on drywall, use all the toggle bolts supplied. If
one of the bracket holes aligns with a wall stud, use appropriate hardware in that hole instead
of a toggle bolt.
l
When mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach both the mounting
bracket and the 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.
l
If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector’s boom will be free to swing.
Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit without first supporting
the projector boom.
If you’re replacing a SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the heavier X800
series interactive whiteboard on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount bracket and mounting
hardware, and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets supplied with your X800 series
interactive whiteboard instead.
To help ensure that your interactive whiteboard is mounted correctly, make sure the colors of the wall-
mount hanger on the back of the interactive whiteboard and the wall-mount bracket are the same.
