NOTE
Refer to the display’s specifications for its weight (see
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.
Refer to the installation instructions for the mounting hardware required for the display.
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.
The display includes a pre-attached wall bracket which can be used to mount the display to the
wall. See the
SBID-MX165, MX175, MX186, MX265, MX275 and MX286 installation instructions
).
Contact your authorized SMART reseller (
) for information on 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 support the display’s weight as well as the weight of any attached accessories and can
accommodate the display’s dimensions.
Mounting the display

There are a number of potential hazards of mounting a display in a non-standard orientation or
