Details
Before You Begin
Before you install your SMART Hub PE260 with four SMART Board 680i2 interactive whiteboard systems,
consider whether:
• Your installation wall is at least 8' 6" (2.6 m) high, which is high enough to accommodate safe head space
clearance, while maintaining enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
WARNING • This document is intended for installers who are responsible for installing and configuring
the SMART Hub with four SMART Board interactive whiteboard systems. You require advanced
knowledge of system installation and cabling to complete the procedures in this document.
• You need the help of another person to complete the following procedures because your
SMART Board interactive whiteboard systems and frame(s) may be too heavy for you to safely
maneuver by yourself.
IMPORTANT • Consult your local building codes and national regulations before you install your SMART Board
interactive whiteboard systems.
• Section 4.4.2 of the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings
and Facilities requires circulation spaces to have a minimum vertical clearance of 80" (2.03 m).
If you install your systems in a circulation space, you might need an installation wall that
is higher than 8' 6" (2.6 m) to meet this requirement.

Installing Your SMART Hub PE260 with Four SMART Board 680i2 Interactive Whiteboard Systems 2 of 10
• You have enough wall space to install your interactive whiteboard systems side by side. You need a minimum
of 67 3/4" (1.72 m) of wall space to install each interactive whiteboard system, which leaves a 2 1/2" (6.4 cm)
gap between adjacent systems. However, if you install another interactive whiteboard system beside
the SMART Hub’s side plate on your primary interactive whiteboard system’s frame, you must leave a
10" (25.4 cm) gap between the systems, which enables you to easily access the laptop connection panel
and the reset button on the side plate.
• Your preferred installation positions are close enough to a power outlet for each of your Unifi 45 projectors,
or whether you’ll need to use an extension cord.
• Your interactive whiteboard systems will be far enough apart that you need to extend the cable connections
from your SMART Hub to your additional interactive whiteboard systems. You might need long RS-232 serial
and VGA video cables, USB extenders and devices such as a VGA distribution amplifier. These parts
aren’t included with your SMART Hub or your interactive whiteboard systems.
NOTE: The USB cable connections between your SMART Hub and your additional interactive whiteboard
systems must comply with document 99641.
• Your installation environment has bright light sources, such as a window, or overhead lighting that might cause
distracting shadows on your interactive whiteboards or reduce the contrast of projected images.
• Your preferred installation positions are central to your audience’s viewing direction.
• You want to connect to a LAN network, and how and where you plan to install your network’s cabling.
• You want to use a microphone or to play sound with external speakers. If you do, you need a 3.5 mm audio
cable or an RCA cable, respectively, which aren’t provided.
• You need a wireless keyboard or mouse for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard systems.

4. Follow step 9 on page 29, and then, with the help of another person, hang your SMART Board interactive
whiteboard on its wall mount bracket.
TIP Install the SMART Hub and side plate on the side of your primary SMART Board interactive
whiteboard system’s frame that will not be adjacent to another interactive whiteboard system
(if possible). This will make it easier for you to access the laptop connection panel and the reset
button on the SMART Hub’s side plate.
IMPORTANT • You need a minimum of 67 3/4" (1.72 m) of wall space to install each interactive whiteboard.
• The center of each interactive whiteboard must be at least 33 7/8" (86 cm) from the nearest wall.
IMPORTANT • If you install another interactive whiteboard system’s frame beside your primary interactive
whiteboard system’s frame, install the center hole of the additional system’s projector plate
a minimum distance of 67 3/4" (1.72 m) from the center hole of the primary system’s
projector plate.
• If you must install an interactive whiteboard system’s frame beside the SMART Hub’s side
plate on your primary interactive whiteboard system’s frame, install the center hole of the
new projector plate a minimum distance of 75 1/4" (1.91 m) from the center hole
of your primary interactive whiteboard system’s projector plate. This minimum distance
ensures that you can easily access the laptop connection panel and the reset button on the
SMART Hub’s side plate.

Procedure 2
To install each of your remaining SMART Board 680i2 interactive whiteboard systems on a wall mount bracket,
1. Download and print the SMART Board 600i2 Interactive Whiteboard System Wall Bracket Installation Template
(document 118926).
Using this template ensures that you:
– install your Unifi 45 projectors at a safe height for head-space clearance, while maintaining enough space
for airflow and installation access above the unit.
– position your projectors at the correct height above your interactive whiteboards so that the projected
images align with the interactive screen.
2. In the SMART Board 600i2 Interactive Whiteboard System Textless Installation Guide (document 118923),
follow the instructions from page 1 through to the end of page 9.
3. In the SB680i2-PE260 Textless Installation Instructions (document 129270) included with your SMART Hub,
follow the instructions starting at step 2 on page 25 to the end of page 26 to install each Unifi 45 projector.
4. With the help of another person, hang each of your SMART Board interactive whiteboards on its
wall mount bracket.
IMPORTANT • Template dimensions are very important. Print the SMART Board 600i2 Interactive
Whiteboard System Wall Bracket Installation Template only to the dimensions specified
on the template. To print this template, you require a large format printer that is capable
of printing ANSI E (34" × 44") or A0 (84.1 cm × 118.9 cm) paper.
• Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that is suitable for adults
of average height. Consider the general height of your users when you choose positions for
your interactive whiteboards, and consult your local building codes and national regulations
before installing the systems.
IMPORTANT • If you install an interactive whiteboard’s wall mount bracket beside an existing frame
or bracket, install the new bracket’s center hole a minimum distance of 67 3/4" (1.72 m)
from the center hole of the existing projector plate or wall mount bracket.
• If you must install an interactive whiteboard’s wall mount bracket beside the SMART Hub’s
side plate on your primary interactive whiteboard system’s frame, install the bracket’s center
hole a minimum distance of 75 1/4" (1.91 m) from the center hole of your primary interactive
whiteboard system’s projector plate. This minimum distance ensures that you can easily
access the laptop connection panel and the reset button on the SMART Hub’s side plate.
WARNING • When mounting your projector on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting bracket
and the safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall
anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
• If the two screws supporting the safety strap are removed, your projector’s boom will be free
to swing. Make sure that these two screws are tightened, and never remove them from
the unit without supporting the projector boom first.
