CHAPTER 3 – 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 need an additional power supply.
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 Orienting Your
Interactive Whiteboard on page 26.
