  2. Switch off the detector SDSU controller currently in use from its power supply.
  3. Swap the cables from power supply, the 2 x fibre cables (marked to where they go)  and the camera shutter cable.
  4. Switch on the detector SDSU controller at power supply.
  5. Type obssys in  BOTH the DAS and CI windows at the observing console to configure for the correct detector.
