To unpack the 3000i , cut the straps, remove the outer cardboard packaging, and lower the
plywood Director Modulep.
Remove the bolts securing the bottom of the 3000i to the pallet, and make sure the locking casters
are in the off position. You will need to rotate the orange braces a ¼ turn to remove them from
underneath the 3000i cabinet. Carefully roll the unit down the ramp provided, and remove the
shrink-wrap with a razor blade or sharp knife.
Inside the 3000i cabinet, you will find the projector, keyboard, and accessory packaging. The
projector will be installed, but will need to be adjusted to fit the image correctly on the screen.
Refer to the Smart 3000i User’s Manual for adjusting the projected image.
Cabling for the projector should be present and labeled. The wireless IR receiver for the keyboard
should be in place and ready to plug into the customer PC. The wireless keyboard must be
hooked up to the PC and mouse ports, and the batteries (included) must be installed in the
keyboard. In the accessory box you will find the Smartboard markers and eraser.

To install the Videoconferencing Camera Bracket, it is important to know the location of the
presenter in relation to the camera. Place the camera bracket on the opposite side of the display
from the presenter. There is one existing hex screw on the top, and two screws on the bottom of
the cabinet to be used for mounting the bracket. The shelf fits into the slots provided and secures
using the thumbscrew provided.
