Operation

Hot Plugging

Components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their
cables from the unit's ports without the need to shut the switch down. The following
procedures must performed in order for hot plugging to work:
•
Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
When hot plugging cables from the CPU ports:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
3. After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the First
Stage unit by pressing the Reset switch.
•
Hot Plugging Console Ports:
When hot plugging the mouse from the KVM Switch's console mouse port:
1. The mouse may be removed and replaced (to reset the mouse, for example), as
long as it is the same mouse.
2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers must be
shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted.
•
Keyboard and Mouse Reset:
If there is no response to mouse and/or keyboard input after hot plugging (or at any
other time), simultaneously press and hold Port Select buttons 1 and 2 on the First
Stage unit for 3 seconds to perform a Keyboard and Mouse reset.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it is necessary to Power Off one of the KVM Switches, do the following before starting
it back up:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it, as well as all the stations and all
the computers that are daisy chained down from it (all the child stations and the
computers attached to them).
Note: 1. Unplug the power cord of any PC (connected to that KVM) that has the
Keyboard Power On function.
2. If the unit is operating under external power, unplug the power adapter
cable.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then restart the KVM Switch, starting with the last station in the
chain and working back to the station you originally shut down.
3. After the Switches are up, power ON the PCs, starting with the ones attached to the
last station in the chain and working back to the station you originally shut down.
Note: It is not necessary to shut down and restart any of the stations or computers
above the station you powered off.
