A user supplied PC and laptop can be connected to the system to enhance your
videoconferencing presentation. Refer the REAR PROJECTION SMART Board
TM
3000i INSTALLATION
GUIDE for details on installation and configuration for a PC and laptop.
PC
A PC can be placed inside the 3000i cabinet and used as a source for presentation. If you intend
to use a PC as a videoconferencing presentation source only, then the PC must be, at minimum,
able to support VGA.
If you intend to utilize SMART Tools with the PC, refer to the
SMART Tools documentation for minimum PC requirements.
Slide the computer into place above the computer straps, and
then use them to secure it. Then locate the tie-wrapped bundle
of labeled cables dangling inside the cabinet. In addition to this
cable bundle, AC power, keyboard and mouse cables are locat-
ed nearby. Make the appropriate connections to the PC.
Laptop
You may choose to connect a laptop computer to the 3000i as a source for presentation. This can
be done in conjunction with or independently from the PC that is integrated to the Director system.
Simply connect it to the ‘Laptop Umbilical’. Extend the laptop end of the umbilical from the rear of
the 3000i cabinet until it reaches the laptop shelf. Then make the appropriate connections to the
laptop. If you want network access, you’ll also need to connect the adapter end of the umbilical’s
network cable to a room network connection.
