Installation Overview

To install and set up the SW2 VGA DA2 A /AF for operation, follow these steps:

1Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video and audio sources (computers, stereos, tape decks, or other devices), the SW2 VGA DA2 A /AF, the output devices (projectors, speakers), and contact closure control device are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

2Mount the switcher. See “Mounting the SW2 VGA DA2 A /AF” in this chapter.

3Attach the cables. See “Cabling” in this chapter.

4Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the following order: output devices, contact closure controller, SW2 VGA DA2 A /AF switcher, and input devices.

5Select an input from the front panel buttons or the contact closure controller.

6The image should now display, and sound should be audible. If not, ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed. Select a different input to check for a picture and sound. See “Troubleshooting” in this chapter.

When mounting the switcher, take cabling and power availability into consideration. Select rack shelf, under-desk (standard) or through-desk (optional) mounting. Follow the appropriate mounting procedure on the following pages.

Rack shelf mounting

1.If feet were installed on the bottom of the switcher, remove them.

2.Place the unit on one half of the 1U (one unit high, one unit wide) rack shelf (part #60-190-01, 60-190-10,

60-190-20, 60-604-01, 60-604-10, or 60-604-20). Align the front of the switcher with the front of the shelf, and align the threaded holes on the bottom of the switcher with the holes in the rack shelf.

3.Attach the switcher to the rack shelf with the two provided 4-40 x 3/16" machine screws. Insert the screws from the underside of the shelf, and securely fasten them into

diagonally opposite corners, as shown in the following illustration.

4.Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾" bolts (provided). Insert the bolts through #10 beveled washers, then through the holes in the rack ears and rack, as shown above.

Under-desk mounting

1.Attach the under-desk mounting brackets

(part #70-077-01) to the SW2 VGA DA2 A /AF with the four provided machine screws, as shown in the under- desk mounting diagram.

2.Hold the interface with attached brackets against the mounting surface. Use a soft pencil to mark the location of holes for screws on the desk or other furniture.

3.Drill 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep, 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes in the table or desk at the marked screw locations from the underside/inside (concealed side) of the furniture, where the switcher will be located.

4.Attach the SW2 VGA DA2 A /AF to the desk with the provided wood screws, as shown in the following illustration.
