Installing SMART Board Software
For the SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard to function properly, you must
have SMART Board software running on a connected computer.
The following procedures guide you through the process of installing SMART Board software. For
more information on using this software, read the SMART Board Software User’s Guide or the
Help that’s included in the software.
1. Close all open applications on the computer.
2. Insert the SMART Board software CD into your CD drive. The installation program starts
automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the installation program doesn’t start automatically:
– for the Windows operating system, select Start > Run and enter x:\autorun.exe (where x:
is your CD drive)
– for Macintosh computers, click the SMART Installer icon to open your CD drive and
double-click the software application file
CAUTION Don’t connect the SMART USB adapter cable to the computer until after you’ve
installed SMART Board software!
If you do this by accident, the Found New Hardware wizard appears. Click the
Cancel button in the wizard, and then unplug the SMART USB adapter cable from
the computer. Next, install SMART Board software (version 8.1.3 or later) and then
reconnect the cable.
TIP
During the installation, you can choose to make the SMART Board software start
automatically so your interactive whiteboard is fully functional whenever you start
your computer.
