Chapter 1
Best practices for
placing cables on a
Height-Adjustable
Wall Mount
Your SMART Height-Adjustable Wall Mount (HAWM-UX/UF) is an easy-to-adjust
platform for connecting the components of your SMART Board™ interactive
whiteboard system. However, placing cables on your HAWM-UX/UF requires care and
attention. The HAWM-UX/UF enables you to operate your interactive whiteboard
system at multiple levels, depending on your users’ comfort, access and personal
height needs. Some equipment that you connect to your HAWM-UX/UF isn’t movable
and can pose a risk of cable damage, unless you take special precautions. By
carefully examining the lengths of cable you need to install your system components
and by following this guide, you can ensure trouble-free installation and years of safe
operation.
If you’re connecting your HAWM-UX/UF to a SMART Mobile Height-Adjustable Floor
Stand (FS-UX), see the FS-UX Height-Adjustable Floor Stand Installation and
Integrator’s Guide (smarttech.com/kb/147510) for additional instructions.
Use the following best practices when placing cables for any type of interactive
whiteboard system mounted on a HAWM-UX/UF-mounted. These best practices
make installing peripheral devices to your interactive whiteboard system easier,
improve the safety and security of your system and prevent damage to your devices.

2 | CHAPTER 1 – BEST PRACTICES FOR PLACING CABLES ON A
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALL MOUNT
• Don’t mount your HAWM-UX/UF in the way of power outlets or cable locations. If
a power outlet or cable crosses the HAWM-UX/UF’s path of travel, it can result in
a broken power supply or cable damage.
• If you need to attach a peripheral device, guest computer or laptop to the projector
system, make sure that the cable is long enough so that the laptop or peripheral
isn’t pulled by the HAWM-UX/UF at its lowest or highest height.
• Mount your peripheral devices to a permanent location near the HAWM-UX/UF. If
the peripheral device moves or can move, it can cause cable strain if the device is
moved too far from and interferes with the HAWM-UX/UF.
• Cables supplied by SMART for connecting your projector to the extended control
panel (ECP) or interactive whiteboard are long enough to accommodate the
additional distances your HAWM-UX/UF requires. You might need longer cables
to attach your interactive whiteboard system to your computer or to other
peripherals.

3 | CHAPTER 1 – BEST PRACTICES FOR PLACING CABLES ON A
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALL MOUNT
• Before customizing or buying cables, assess your installation location and
peripheral connection options and carefully measure the distance between your
devices and their connection locations on the interactive whiteboard system.
Measure the distances at the HAWM-UX/UF’s lowest and highest height, and use
the greater number as your minimum cable length.
– Make sure there is enough slack in your cables to minimize cable strain.
– When measuring the minimum cable length make sure there are no
obstructions in the cable’s path. A rising or descending cable can catch on an
obstruction unless the cable is properly secured out of the way of the
obstruction.

4 | CHAPTER 1 – BEST PRACTICES FOR PLACING CABLES ON A
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALL MOUNT
– Before placing cables, note the heights and locations of cable access points
(such as cable tray access hatches, ethernet ports and power outlets) and
restrictions in the room, and note alternative routing options. If you can, move
the HAWM-UX/UF closer to these sources.
– To prevent a tripping hazard, bundle or use cable-ties and cable management
clips on excess cabling, and place the cables above floor level.

Cabling a SMART Board 685ix or D685ix
interactive whiteboard system
SMART Board 685ix and D685ix interactive whiteboard systems always include a
SMART UX60 ultra-short-throw projector and an extended control panel (ECP)
located on the interactive whiteboard.
IMPORTANT
Before following these instructions, install your HAWM-UX/UF and interactive
whiteboard system according to the SMART HAWM-UX/UF installation guide
(smarttech.com/kb/145745). The instructions below are a supplement to, and not
a substitute for, the installation guide.
Mounting your HAWM-UX/UF mobility switch
The mobility switch controls the vertical movement of the HAWM-UX/UF and your
interactive whiteboard system. The mobility switch is wired directly to the rear panel of
the HAWM-UX/UF. Use the installation guide with the following procedure to place and
mount the mobility switch.

6 | CHAPTER 2 – CABLING A SMART BOARD 685ix OR D685ix INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD SYSTEM TO YOUR SMART HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALL
To mount the
HAWM-UX/UF mobility
switch to your interactive
whiteboard
1. Locate the HAWM-UX/UF mobility switch. If you haven’t done so already, remove
and discard the plastic bag that holds the mobility switch.
2. Chose the mobility switch’s mounting location. There are mounting holes on the
left and the right sides and near the top and the bottom of the interactive
whiteboard.
IMPORTANT
If you installed or plan to install the SBA-L Projection Audio System, mount
the mobility switch on the bottom mounting holes.
3. Using a Phillips® No. 2 screwdriver and the two screws listed inside the
HAWM-UX/UF installation guide, secure the mobility switch cable toward the side
of the interactive whiteboard where you chose to mount the mobility switch. Make
sure that the mobility switch cable is toward the bottom of the switch as you
mount it.

7 | CHAPTER 2 – CABLING A SMART BOARD 685ix OR D685ix INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD SYSTEM TO YOUR SMART HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALL
4. Place the cable through the HAWM-UX/UF’s lower cable clip, making sure that
the cable is taut between the interactive whiteboard and the clip, and loose
between the clip and the base of the HAWM-UX/UF.
5. Bundle the excess cable, making sure that there is a minimum of 28" (71.1 cm)
excess straight length or a 14" (35.6 cm) loose loop of cable.
Placing cables for HAWM-UX/UF-mounted components
To prevent cable friction, SMART recommends that you first place the cables that
don’t shift after they’re installed. Cables that connect components mounted to the
HAWM-UX/UF don’t shift after they’re installed. The wire management bundle (WMB)
shifts only if it’s connected to the wall or to the guest computer.

management clip located
under the projector. Make
sure the harness cable’s
strain relief sits above the
clip point.
IMPORTANT
To add slack to the
cable, move the cable
to the clip’s
foam-padded section,
increase the length of
cable between the clip
and the projector and
close the clip.
3. Place the harness cable
around the back of the
HAWM-UX/UF’s interactive
whiteboard brackets, toward
the left side of the interactive
whiteboard if the ECP is
mounted on the left, or
towards the right side of the
interactive whiteboard if the

NOTE
If you choose to connect the WMB to the wall-mounted magnetic clip, it’s
recommended that you do so at a height and location that doesn’t interfere with
the HAWM-UX/UF’s movement.
To connect your SMART
UX60 projector’s WMB
1. If you haven’t already, attach the SMART UX60 WMB to the projector. Attach the
HD-DB15 connector and the 3.5 mm audio jack to the projector’s connection
panel (see page 8).
NOTE
The USB A connector doesn’t connect to the projector’s connection panel.
2. Place the WMB

sure the WMB’s
strain relief sits
above the clip
point.
3. If the ECP is
mounted on the left,
place the WMB
around the back of the
HAWM-UX/UF’s
interactive whiteboard
brackets, toward the
left side of the
interactive
whiteboard. If the
ECP is mounted on

4. Place the WMB through the top cable clip you installed on the side of the
HAWM-UX/UF.
5. Connect the WMB’s USB A connector to the ECP (see page 9), and loop the
excess cable length into the cable clip.
6. Use the WMB’s magnetic connection to attach the WMB to a metal surface, until
you need to attach a guest computer to it.
IMPORTANT
If you attach the WMB’s anchor point to the wall, make sure the anchor point
is set to a distance so that the WMB does not slip off the anchor point when
the HAWM-UX/UF is moving, or make sure the WMB has a minimum of 28"
(71.1 cm) excess straight length or a 14" (35.6 cm) loose loop of cable.
Connecting your SMART UX60 projector to the SBA-L Projection Audio System
HAWM-UX/UF is designed to accommodate mounting the SBA-L Projection Audio
System directly to the interactive whiteboard. That way, when the speakers rise and
descend with the HAWM-UX/UF’s and interactive whiteboard’s movement, there’s
less risk of damage to the audio connection and power cables. Therefore, SMART
recommends that you don’t mount the SBA-L Projection Audio System to the wall.
Before connecting the audio system to the projector, you must install the speaker
brackets, speakers and speaker cable clips according to the SBA-L Projection Audio
System textless installation instructions (smarttech.com/kb/142552).
To connect your SMART
UX60 projector to SBA-L
speakers
1. From the SBA-L packaging, retrieve the 3.5 mm jack to dual channel audio output
(two RCA jacks) cable. This is the audio connection cable. Attach the 3.5 mm jack
to the projector’s connection panel (see page 8).

13 | CHAPTER 2 – CABLING A SMART BOARD 685ix OR D685ix INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD SYSTEM TO YOUR SMART HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALL
2. Place the audio connection cable toward the
right of the HAWM-UX/UF, inserting the cable
into the HAWM-UX/UF cable clips.
3. Place the audio connection cable through the
right speaker cable clip on the rear of the
interactive whiteboard, toward the right
speaker.
4. Connect the dual channel audio output to the
speaker’s connection panel, and bundle any
excess cable in the right speaker cable clip.
5. From the SBA-L packaging, retrieve the
speaker-to-speaker Molex®
(double-barreled) cable.
6. Place the Molex cable through the left
speaker cable clip, through the space
between the HAWM-UX/UF and the
interactive whiteboard.
7. Place the cable through the right speaker
cable clip.
8. Connect the Molex cable to both speakers
and bundle any excess cable in the left
speaker cable clip.
Placing cables for other components
Cables for peripheral devices connected to the projector but not mounted on the
HAWM-UX/UF are at the greatest risk of damage, because they shift as the
HAWM-UX/UF rises and descends. These peripheral devices and cables include:
• your computer or SMART Hub VE220 or SE240
NOTE
Both the VE220 and SE240 models include 72" (182.8 cm) output cables for
connecting to your projector. Cable extensions (not included) may be
required.
• a room control device

Connecting the power, network and other peripheral device cables to your
projector
All cables that connect to your HAWM-UX/UF projector’s connection panel require a
certain amount of slack to accommodate the projector’s rise and descent. When
connecting your projector’s power cable, don’t bundle it with or place it parallel to
other peripheral device cables you attach to your projector. Any cables that travel the
same path must be placed perpendicular (at right angles) to other unpowered cables
to reduce signal interference.
To connect your projector
power cable on the
HAWM-UX/UF
1. Connect the power cable to the projector’s power socket.
2. Place the power cable through the foam-padded section of the cable clip, located
under the projector, increase the length of cable between the projector and the
clip by 1" (2.5 cm) and then close the clip.
3. Place the power cable around the back of the HAWM-UX/UF’s interactive
whiteboard brackets, toward the left side of the interactive whiteboard if the power
outlet is located on the left, or towards the right side of the interactive whiteboard if
the power outlet is located on the right.
4. Connect the other end of the power cable to a power outlet no more than 72"
(182.8 cm) away from the projector. This distance includes the amount of slack
you need for the projector’s range of movement. If necessary, use a power cable
extension of an appropriate length that includes a minimum of 28" (71.1 cm)
excess straight length or a 14" (35.6 cm) loose loop of cable.
5. Slowly test the movement of the unit, using the HAWM-UX/UF’s mobility switch.
Make sure that the cable isn’t taut at any range of the HAWM-UX/UF’s movement.
TIP
Optionally, find a support location for the power cable that doesn’t interfere with
the movement of the HAWM-UX/UF and attach a cable management clip (not
included) to the cable. Make sure that you have enough slack for the
HAWM-UX/UF to move freely, and then bundle the excess. This is highly
recommended.
To connect your
projector’s network or
peripheral device cables
on the HAWM-UX/UF
1. If you don’t want to connect a network cable, proceed to step 3. Otherwise, make
sure you have a network cable with RJ45 plugs (not included) long enough to
connect your projector to a LAN port.
2. Connect the RJ45 plug on the network cable to the RJ45 port on the projector.
Make sure that the network cable is in the middle left position in the cable slot.
