Smartboard installation SB680i2
As of July 16, 2008

Lower grade - using rails from www.whiteboardrails.com

Mrs. Miller's room

Miss Drury's room

Trudeau-Smith's room

The rail system used to place the boards over the blackboards.

These just happen to fit right behind the whiteboard.  I will be screwing them in when final position is determined.
The large 10"X15" plywood board goes above the upper rail.  The large metal plate gets bolted to that plywood.

Adjustable bottoms to level vertical. The white strip is double sided tape for final installation. (won't use)
I will be making two holes at the bottom of the chalkboard, the Smartboard has two brackets for mounting to wall.
I will bend them back and run a wire tie / screw through that bracket and the hole.  Securing it from forward and side movement.

Make sure the smartboard hangs on the notch, not on the screw top... did that !
Thought I had it hanging right and I hit the Smartboard, fell right in my hands.  I still have good reactions !
Once correctly in the notch, it won't go anywhere.

The metal plate holding the LCD and arm.  Plywood mount on wall with expanding anchor bolts.
Guaranteed I put two lead anchor (concrete walls) thought the wood mounting plate (2 - 3/4 plywood) into the wall.
Three screws into the wood.

The biggie.   This hangs over the unit.  It's heavy and the LCD is not yet attached. 
I will find someway to get a SS wire from the end of this to the metal roof supports just above the drop ceiling !

Nailed !  8 nail gun, 6 mason screws and 1 expanding bolt

5 Screws hold up the metal plate that holds the arm. 
One expanding bolt goes through the plywood into the concrete.

Four screws holds the bracket to the plywood, the one mason bolt on the plate.

The older wing has a 9 1/2 deep corkboard at top and a aluminum rail.  That area of cork was cut out to the concrete.
I made one of the plywood boards 9 1/2 and use wood nuts to screw in the top bracket so it's flush to the aluminum rail

This shows the rooms with blackboard and a cork strip at the top using the above board.
I used a roofing tool to cut the cork top the first time.  Second time was a battery powered saw, much easier.

Fired it up to test the outfit.   Need the small box on floor to be screwed on wall just below the Smartboard.
That is the ON/OFF switch and the VGA connector port.
All the other wires will be hidden behind the board.
Each teacher will get a new laptop on a cart.  The cables will be long enough to reach their desks.
I did not put on all the covers yet.  This is a first grade room, I dropped the screen lower here.
