What should I do with multiple swapchains in DXGI?

Question

It's confusing here. Is it that one swap chain cannot be accessed concurrently, or DXGI is completely not thread safe?

If I have 2 swap chains for 2 display on one card, what is the best way I swap them? I can hardly find any resource on multiple swap chains.
