Removing the Side Panel, Screen and Cabinet Top of a 3000i 1 of 6
Removing the Side Panel, Screen and Cabinet Top of a Rear
Projection SMART Board™ 3000i Interactive Whiteboard
You can remove the side panel of a Rear Projection SMART Board™ 3000i interactive whiteboard to access a number of
important components such as the projector, SC8 controller and the communications hub. Removing the right side panel
(as you face the front of the cabinet) is also a preliminary step for removing the screen and the top of the cabinet.
NOTE: The appearance of your 3000i may be different to the graphics included in this document.
1. Detach the infrared (IR) receiver and leave it temporarily dangling.
2. If the optional guest laptop shelf is attached to the cabinet, loosen the captive thumbscrew underneath the shelf, lift the
shelf up and pull it away from the cabinet.
IMPORTANT You can access most of the 3000i’s components by removing the rear access panel or the side panel.
Remove the top of the cabinet only if you need to move the cabinet through a low doorway or if advised to
by Technical Support.
CAUTIONS •Never touch the back of the screen or brush against it with your head while you’re examining internal
cabinet components. If you do smudge this surface, lightly spray alcohol-free glass cleaner on a soft
cloth and dab the affected area to remove the marks. Never apply isopropyl alcohol, water or acetone,
as these fluids will damage the diffusion coating and permanently reduce the display quality.
• Don’t remove both side panels at the same time. If you do, the back panel will not be supported and will
slide off.
• You’ll need assistance with several of the steps in this procedure.

1. Reach inside the cabinet to disconnect the modular and power cables at the bottom of the screen. Don’t touch the back
of the screen.
2. Loosen the four captive fasteners on the back corners of the interactive whiteboard using a Phillips® No. 2 screwdriver.
Start with the two bottom fasteners; then loosen the two at the top (you may require a step stool to reach these
fasteners).
NOTE: Maintain constant pressure on the screwdriver to avoid damaging the screw heads.
NOTE: Even after you completely loosen the captive fasteners, the screen remains suspended on two keyhole slots
near the top of the cabinet.

NOTE: To remove the top half of the cabinet, continue with the remaining numbered steps.
1. Using the provided 5/32" hex key, remove the safety screw that’s located inside each side handle. With the screen
removed, you’ll find it easiest to reach inside the cabinet and remove the hex key through the hole above the handhold.
