Choosing a height
Consider the general height of the user community when you choose the height for the display.
SMART recommends that you mount the display so that its top is 6'
5" (1.9
m) from the floor.
Note
If participants will be sitting at a steep angle (such as in a lecture hall), you may have to adjust the
installation height or angle.
Assessing the wall
Be sure the wall you’re installing the display on can support the weight of the display and mounting
equipment. If it can’t, consider using a SMART wall stand to transfer some of the weight from the wall to
the floor (see smarttech.com/accessories).
Note
Refer to the display’s specifications for its weight (see
19).
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.
