6.1 Preparations
Prepare a LAN cable or RS-232C cable before connecting to external devices.
6.2 Precautions
Follow the instructions below when installing the SWC-2000.
■Installation
▪Before connecting a cable to the SWC-2000 or an external device that is connected to the SWC-2000,
touch a ground metal to remove electricity from your body.
▪Do not place the SWC-2000 on top of another one.
▪Prepareventilating equipment to keep the ambient temperature at 40 degrees C/104 degrees F or less. If
inadequately vented, the life of parts may be shortened and operations may be affected.
■Attaching and removing AC plug
The shapes of AC plugs with screw-type lock differ from country to country. Use the appropriate AC plug.
Contact us if you have any questions.
