If desired, attach a computer or other control device to the RS-232 connector.

If desired, attach an RCP 1000 remote control panel. See “Attaching an RCP 1000” on page 2-6.

If desired, attach an ECP 1000 event control panel. See “Attaching an ECP 1000” on page 2-6.

Plug the switcher, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source.

Turn on the input and output devices.

Use the LCD menu screens to configure the switcher. See “Configuring the SGS 408” on page 3-4.

The image from each input device should appear on the output devices, and you should be able to switch from one input device to another. If this does not happen, double check steps 3 and 4 and make adjustments as needed. See chapter 5 for additional assistance.

Mounting the switcher

The switcher ships with four uninstalled rubber feet. If you are going to rack mount the switcher, do so before cabling it, and do not install the rubber feet. If you are not rack mounting the switcher, skip to “Tabletop/desktop mounting” on the following page.

Rack mounting

To rack mount the switcher, use two screws on each end of the switcher to attach the switcher to the rack. See figure 2-2.
