Important Information about Compatibility
Each SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard comes with a SMART USB
adapter cable that connects the interactive whiteboard to your computer. The adapter cable works
only with version 8.1.3 (or later) of SMART Board software for Windows operating systems or
version 8.1.2 (or later) of SMART Board software for Macintosh computers.
You can’t use the SMART USB adapter cable if your computer uses Mac OS X v10.1.x. You must
either upgrade your operating system to Mac OS X v10.2 (or later), or order the original SMART
USB adapter cable (P/N USB-FRU) from SMART Technical Support (page 33).
NOTE: If your computer doesn’t have a USB port, you can order an optional 20' (6.1 m) straight-
through DB9-to-DB9 serial cable from SMART Technical Support (page 33).
