To install SMART Board Software for Windows operating systems
1 Insert the SMART Board software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
The SMART Board software setup program should start automatically. If it doesn't, select
Start > Run and enter x:\autorun.exe (where x: is your CD-ROM drive). Follow the on-
screen instructions to install SMART Board software.
At the end of SMART Board software installation, you'll be asked if you want to put the
SMART Board icon in your Startup Folder. We recommend that you reply affirmatively.
The SMART Board tools will always be open, and your interactive whiteboard will be fully
functional without any further action whenever you start up your system.
2 Click Yes to install the SMART Board icon in the Startup folder, or click No to prevent
SMART Board software from starting whenever you start up your system.

Configuring and Orienting the Interactive Whiteboard
After installing SMART Board software, you must configure and orient the interactive whiteboard.
Configuring the interactive whiteboard involves specifying which port on the internal computer is
occupied by the interactive whiteboard serial or USB connection.
If you're running SMART Board driver 6.0 (or later), the COM port configuration process is entirely
automatic. You may need to manually configure the COM port if:
• the Windows operating system you're running does not perform plug and play (e.g.,
Windows NT 4.0 or ME)
• the Windows operating system fails to announce that it has Found New Hardware
You should orient the interactive whiteboard to accurately track your finger or Pen Tray tool. If the
projected image becomes misaligned, you must perform the orientation procedure again.
To select a COM port for the interactive whiteboard
1 Select Start > Programs > SMART Board Software > SMART Board Tools.
2 Click the SMART Board icon in the system tray and select Control Panel.
The SMART Board Control Panel appears.
3 On the Boards tab, click the Connect button.
The Select COM Port dialog box appears.
4 If you know the COM or USB port to which the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is
connected, you can type it or select it from the COM port list. Then click the Select button.
OR
If you’re unsure of the correct COM port, click the Detect SMART Hardware button to
initiate hardware detection. Your COM ports will be searched for the presence of an
attached interactive whiteboard until the correct COM port is located.
The interactive whiteboard is now touch sensitive. Just open the SMART Board tools to
write over a projected application with a Pen Tray stylus.
