Getting Started<br />
Getting your <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> interactive whiteboard set up and ready to use is easy. Follow<br />
the steps below and you’ll find that as soon as you install <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software on your<br />
connected computer, your interactive whiteboard becomes touch sensitive: In other words,<br />
every touch on the interactive whiteboard will be interpreted by your computer as a mouse<br />
click. Open, minimize or close applications, scroll through files, open your browser – all just<br />
by touching the board. You can also press a <strong>SMART</strong> Pen Tray button to use the <strong>SMART</strong><br />
Keyboard or make your next contact with the interactive whiteboard a right-mouse click<br />
(Microsoft® Windows® operating systems only).<br />
To activate your Pen Tray so you can write over projected applications, just open the <strong>SMART</strong><br />
<strong>Board</strong> tools. You can now pick up a stylus from the Pen Tray and write over any application<br />
displayed on the <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> surface.<br />
Your first task is to connect your computer to the interactive whiteboard. You have the option<br />
of using the provided serial cable or, if you prefer to use a USB cable, you can order a USB<br />
adapter cable from <strong>SMART</strong> Technologies Inc. that is especially designed for connecting your<br />
interactive whiteboard. To quickly find the connection procedure that meets your needs, refer<br />
to the table below.<br />
NOTE: The information provided in this section applies to the <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> 500 frontprojection<br />
interactive whiteboard series. If you have a Rear Projection <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> unit or a<br />
<strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> for Plasma Displays model, refer to the installation manual that came with your<br />
product for complete set-up instructions.<br />

Windows Serial Cable Setup<br />
1 Insert the <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software CD into your CD-ROM drive.<br />
The <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software setup program should start automatically. If it doesn’t, select<br />
Start > Run and enter x:\autorun.exe (where x: is your CD-ROM drive). Follow the onscreen<br />
instructions to install <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software.<br />
During <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software installation, you’ll be asked if you want to put the <strong>SMART</strong><br />
<strong>Board</strong> icon in your StartUp Folder. We recommend you reply affirmatively. Then, whenever<br />
you activate your Windows operating system, <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> tools will always be open, and<br />
your interactive whiteboard will be fully functional without any further action.<br />
2 Without removing the <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software CD, shut off your computer.<br />
3 Connect the short DB9 end of the supplied serial cable to the 9-pin serial port<br />
underneath the <strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> interactive whiteboard (see the figure on the next page).<br />
