26 | CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO YOUR COMPUTER
Overview
The included USB cable enables you to connect your computer to your interactive
whiteboard. Because this cable provides both a digital signal and power from your
computer to your interactive whiteboard, you don’t require an additional power supply.
Alternatively, you can use the optional RS-232 serial or wireless Bluetooth connection
expansion modules with USB or serial cables purchased from either SMART or an
electronics or computer store.
NOTE
The optional RS-232 serial or wireless Bluetooth connection expansion modules
aren’t available for Dual Touch SMART Board SBD600 series interactive
whiteboards.
Your interactive whiteboard will be touch sensitive after you install SMART product
drivers on your connected computer. After connecting your interactive whiteboard
to your computer, you must perform a brief orientation procedure (see page 39).
System Power Safety and Precautions
CAUTION
For operating safety and to avoid damage to your interactive whiteboard,
connect its USB connector only to a computer that has a USB compliant interface
and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be
compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL
mark(s) for CSA/UL 60950.
WARNING
If you’re using an RS-232 serial expansion module, a wireless Bluetooth
connection expansion module or a USB audio system, use only the power supply
included with that product. These products don’t use the same power supplies.
Using the wrong power supply might create a safety hazard or damage the
equipment. If in doubt, refer to the specification sheet for your product to verify the
power supply type.
