Remove the rear access panel from the cabinet.

For more information, refer to the “Removing the 

Rear Access Panel” section of the 

Rear Projection 

SMART Board 3000i Installation Guide

.

Install the video conferencing shelf if you want to place the camera on it.

If you do not need this shelf for your camera 

or for any other device, skip this step.

To install the shelf, follow the instructions in 

the “Installing the Optional 

Videoconferencing Shelf” section of the 

Rear 

Projection SMART Board 3000i Installation 

Guide.

 

Typically, you attach the video conferencing 

shelf to the right side of the Polycom 
Instructor 

RP

 system when facing it from the 

front. However, you can attach it to the left 

side if you choose.

The shelf mounting arm has three positions. 

Choose the height that best suits your 

installation.

Do not confuse the video conferencing shelf 

with the laptop shelf. The laptop shelf is an 

optional item and is smaller than the video 

conferencing shelf.
