thanks to everyone. I went for this one because it was the first and that twist wasn't really a problem for me to render my message. It was a very good starting point to make something out of that sentence.

neutral  yeswhere: the sentence seems to have all the vocabulary equivalents but is lacking a verb, therefore not complete.

neutral  Trudy Peters: I would put "identically" after "switching," otherwise it looks like "set up" (setup) is a noun

should be set up identically


Explanation:
Marcus: Sorry, I read your sentence again. I had mistaken your use of "set up" as an imperative form for a past participle - sounds awkward especially with an adverb in front. I would translate "ist identisch aufzubauen" as above and tag it on to the end of the sentence.

agree  Marcus Malabad: you're right, the adverb makes the imperative sound awkward, but heck: me try!
