SmartOption Mobile Lab Setup Instructions

R0311.0308

OBILE

™

Your SmartOption Mobile Lab comes with AlphaHub™ and all cables already

installed. Follow these steps to set up the mobile lab. Do not connect the lab to your

computer until you have installed AlphaSmart™ Manager software on the computer.

For the computer's system requirements, go to www.alphasmart.com/support/.

1. Unpack the SmartOption Mobile Lab. Remove all packing materials from the

outside of the cart.

2. Plug in the lab. Find the power supply cord coming out the back of the cart.

Remove any tape or ties from the cord, and plug it directly into a 120-volt wall outlet

(or floor outlet) rated for at least 15 amps. Do not use an extension cord or a power

strip.

3. Install the AlphaSmart Manager software on your computer. Find the

AlphaSmart Manager CD that came with your SmartOption Mobile Lab. Follow the

instructions in the AlphaSmart Manager User Manual or in the Quick Guide for your

NEOs to install the software on your computer.

4. Provide power to the computer through the lab (optional). If you'd like your

computer to receive power through the lab, do this:

a. Place the computer on top of the cart.

b. In the middle of the top of the cart (toward the back), remove the cable cap.

c. Pass the computer's power cord down through the opening.

d. Pull the computer's power cord down to the power strip in the bottom of the cart

(in the middle of the back of the cart, behind the NEO bays). Plug the

computer's power cord into the power strip.

e. On the top of the cart, put the cable cap back on.

You can also plug a printer into the cart's power strip.

5. Connect the SmartOption Mobile Lab to your computer. Find the cable labeled

"COMPUTER" that is coming out of the cart. Remove any tape or ties from this

cable. Then, connect it to the computer that has AlphaSmart Manager installed.

6. Turn on the AlphaHub. Open the cart doors and find the AlphaHub on the top

shelf to the right. Turn the switch to on (I). The green light on the front of the

AlphaHub will turn on.

7. Install batteries in your NEO 1 and/or NEO 2 laptops. Install three AA batteries

in each NEO 1 or NEO 2 laptop. For instructions, see the Quick Guide that came

with your NEOs.

8. Connect your NEO 1 and/or NEO 2 laptops to the lab. Connect your NEO 1 or

NEO 2 laptops to the bays in the cart. (Starting with version 3.0 of AlphaSmart

Manager 2, you can connect both NEO 1 and NEO 2 laptops to the same lab.)

Each bay in the cart holds two laptops, so you will find two cables in each bay. The

cart holds up to 30 laptops.
