Chapter 2 Installing the display
smarttech.com/kb/171744 22
In some situations, you may need to request an engineering analysis to determine if the wall can support
the display.
Selecting mounting hardware
The mounting hardware required for installation varies according to the type of wall onto which the
display is being mounted.
If you’re using the SMART wall mount (WM-SBID-200), see the wall mount’s illustrated installation
instructions for information about the required mounting hardware (smarttech.com/kb/171373).
Selecting a wall mount
It is always best to mount the display on a wall. If the wall can’t support the display’s weight, you can use
additional hardware to transfer some of the weight to the floor.
SMART offers the WM-SBID-200 wall mount for mounting the display on a wall. SMART recommends
using this wall mount to install the display on a wall.
See the
SBID-GX165, SBID-GX175, and SBID-GX186 installation instructions
(smarttech.com/kb/171725).
Contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where) for information about SMART’s
mounting options.
If you choose a third-party option rather than one of SMART’s mounting options, be sure the wall mount
can accommodate the display’s dimensions and support the display’s weight as well as the weight of
any attached accessories.
Mounting the display
The electrical and mechanical components of a display are designed to work properly when the display
is mounted in the orientation described in its installation instructions. Mounting the display in a different
orientation can cause malfunctions and will void the display’s warranty.
Displays are designed for vertical mounting only: 90° relative to the floor, plus or minus 5°–15° for
tolerance, depending on the display (consult the display’s documentation). SMART doesn’t support
mounting displays at other angles or in a horizontal orientation (like a tabletop).
There are a number of potential hazards of mounting a display in a non-standard orientation or angle:
l
Mounting a display horizontally (like a table) can cause the glass to sag, damaging the display or
interfering with the display’s touch system.
l
Non-standard orientation can affect ventilation, creating hotpots in equipment, premature failures.
