Reinforcing a SMART Board™ 600i Series Interactive Whiteboard
System Wall Mount Installation With a Backer Board
If your SMART Board™ 600i series interactive whiteboard system mounting bracket doesn’t align with a wall stud, install a
backer board to reinforce your wall mount installation. Install a backer board on wall studs, and then mount your SMART
Board on a backer board to ensure that it is securely mounted.
1. Cut the 3/4" plywood to a dimension of 36" × 24". This piece of plywood will serve as the backer board for the Unifi™
projector and interactive whiteboard monitor bracket. Drill 6 pilot holes into the backer board using the appropriate drill
bit. Drill the holes according to the measurements indicated on the following diagram.
2. Using a studfinder, locate a stud near the center of the wall where you want to mount the backer board.
3. Using a pencil and a carpenter’s level, draw a vertical line on the wall to mark the centerline of the stud.
4. Draw a horizontal line (Recommended Height Line) on the wall 75.5" from the floor, intersecting the vertical line drawn
in step 4. Use a carpenter’s level to ensure that the line is level.

8. Install the backer board using the appropriate screws or Toggler hollow-wall anchors.
1. Using the appropriate drill bit, drill the 5 projector bracket holes into the backer board according to the locations
indicated on the projector template.
2. Using the appropriate drill bit, drill the 5 wall-mount bracket holes into the backer board according to the locations
indicated on the projector template.
3. Remove the projector template.
4. Install the five pan-head wood screws and washers for the projector bracket into the projector bracket holes.
5. Mount the projector bracket on the five pan-head wood screws, and then tighten the screws securely.
6. Attach the interactive whiteboard’s wall-mount bracket to the backer board using the appropriate wood screws.
7. Mount the projector and SMART Board interactive whiteboard on the backer board.
1. Drill six holes into the 4" × 28" piece of plywood (pen tray bracket spacer) according to the measurements indicated in
following diagram.
2. Attach the pen tray bracket spacer to the wall behind the interactive whiteboard’s pen tray brackets using the
appropriate wood screws.
NOTE: You must install the pen tray bracket spacer to prevent unnecessary movement of the interactive whiteboard
and keystoning of the projected image.
3. Bend the metal tabs located in the center of each pen tray bracket so that they rest against the pen tray bracket spacer.
Place the SMART Board interactive whiteboard parallel to the backerboard.
4. Screw the metal tabs to the pen tray bracket spacer with an appropriate Phllips screwdriver and screws.
The backer board’s center holes must align with a stud. Use Toggler hollow-wall anchors to install the
backer board if the wall has metal studs, and for holes that don’t align with studs.
To install the projector bracket
Don’t fully insert the screws. Leave a 1/4" (6mm) space between the head of the screw and the backer
board surface.
