To install and set up the SW2 VGAcc and SW2 RGBHVcc switchers, follow these steps:

1Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video (computers or other devices), the SW2 switcher, the output devices (projectors, etc.), and contact closure control device are all turned off and disconnected from the power source.

2Mount the switcher. See Mounting the Switcher, below.

3Attach the cables. See Rear Panel Features and Connections, later in this chapter.

4Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the following order: output devices (projectors, monitors), SW2 switcher, and input devices (computers, etc.).

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

6The picture should now appear. If not, ensure that all cables are plugged in correctly and all devices are receiving power. Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed. Select a different input to check for a display.

If problems occur, see chapter 3, Troubleshooting.

Mounting the Switcher

Rack mounting

For rack mounting, mount the SW2 VGAcc and SW2 RGBHVcc on the optional 1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron part

#60-190-01), the 1U Basic Rack Shelf (#60-604-01) (figure 2-1), the 1U 6" Deep Universal Rack Shelf Kit (#60-190-10), or the

1U 6" Basic Rack Shelf (#60-604-10). The switcher mounts in one of two locations: either to the right or to the left at the front of the rack.

1.	If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of the
	switcher, remove them.
2.	Mount the SW2 switcher on the rack shelf, using two
	4-40 x 3/16 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure
	the switcher to the shelf (figure 2-1).

3.	Attach a blank panel or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
4.	Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf
	with those of the rack.
5.	Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine
	screws. This shelf can be mounted in the front or in the rear
	of the rack.

Furniture mounting

Both SW2 models can be mounted under furniture, such as a table or podium surface, using optional under-desk mounting brackets (Extron part #70-077-01). Furniture mount the switcher as follows:

1.	Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten
	each screw into the mounting surface until just less than

1/4” of the screw protrudes.

2. Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets and place the switcher against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.

3. Slide the switcher slightly forward or back, then tighten all four screws to secure the switcher in place.
