Operation

Hot Plugging

The Miniview® Ultra+ supports hot plugging. Components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables from their respective ports without the need to shut the switch down. For hot plugging to work properly, the following procedures must be observed:

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.After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).

Hot Plugging Console Ports:

The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.

Note: If there is no response to mouse and/or PS/2 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 PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse reset.
