Appendix H: Emulating Sun Keys

with a PS/2 Keyboard

We recommend that you use a Sun keyboard and mouse at your user stations if there are any Sun CPUs in your ServSwitch™ Summit system. If you must use a PS/2 keyboard to control a Sun CPU attached to your Summit system, the Summit is able to perform some keyboard emulation. To emulate most of the special “extra” keys that are present on Sun keyboards but not PS/2 keyboards, first press and hold either [Scroll Lock] or the combination of [Ctrl] and [Alt]; these function as permanent “Sun keystroke hotkeys.” (If [Scroll Lock] is your OSUI hotkey or previous-channel key—see Section 5.3—you’ll want to use [Ctrl] + [Alt].) Then press the corresponding character on the PS/2 keyboard:
