Installation tips
For the installation instructions for the SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboard, see the
SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboard installation guide
). If
you purchased a floor stand, wall-mount or a system that includes a projector or other components,
refer to the installation documents included with those components.
The optimal mounting height is 196 cm (77") from the floor to the center of the installation brackets.
However, consider the general height of the user community when you choose a location for
wall-mounting the interactive whiteboard and adjust accordingly.
Choose a location that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows and strong overhead
lighting. Infrared (IR) lighting can cause issues with the performance of the cameras and can lead to
unintentional or missed touches.
Ensure that you use the correct mounting hardware for the wall type. You can also order the
SMART Board interactive whiteboard
(Part No. 1020342) from your authorized SMART
reseller.
Extending the USB cable
The USB cable included with the SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboard is within the
limit defined by the USB standard for maximum length. The interactive whiteboard includes a 16' (5
m) USB cable.
IMPORTANT
The combined length of USB cables connected from the interactive whiteboard to your
computer should not exceed 16' (5 m).
However, if the provided cable isn’t long enough to reach from your computer to the interactive
whiteboard, you can use a bus-powered hub, such as the active USB extension cable (Part No.
USB-XT) to extend the USB connection.
