6|CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO A COMPUTER
Installing SMART Product Drivers
You must install SMART Product Drivers 10.7 SP 1, or a later version, on your
computer for your computer to respond to touch on the interactive whiteboard’s
surface. SMART Product Drivers includes the tools that you need to control computer
applications, and to write over them in digital ink.
You can install SMART Product Drivers on any computer that meets certain minimum
operating specifications using the software installation CD included with your SMART
product. For your interactive whiteboard’s system requirements, see the SMART
Board 480 interactive whiteboard specifications (smarttech.com/kb/154638).
IMPORTANT
• Disconnect the SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard from your computer
while you install SMART Product Drivers.
• There are no status lights on your SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard.
SMART Product Drivers must be installed to view the interactive whiteboard’s
status.
Orienting your interactive whiteboard
After you install SMART Product Drivers on your computer, orient your SMART Board
480 interactive whiteboard. Orienting your interactive whiteboard ensures the greatest
possible level of writing and touch accuracy. Orient your interactive whiteboard any
time your projector or interactive whiteboard has moved since you last used it, or
whenever the mouse pointer isn’t properly aligned with the pen or your finger when
you touch the interactive surface.
