STARTING THE SWITCH BOX
STARTING THE SWITCH BOX
It is important to turn on the switch box before turning on the computers because when the servers boot up, their drivers send device settings to the switch.
POWERING UP THE SYSTEM
To power up the system:
1Press the power switch located on the rear panel of the switch box to the on (1) position.
2Power up the computers. During startup, the switch box unit does the following:
!Identifies the mouse and keyboard and puts them into default states
!Switches to port 1 by default, and displays the number “1” in the status flag displayed on the monitor. If the status flag default setting has been changed to Names mode, the status flag displays the port name instead of the port num- ber. If a status flag is not shown on the monitor, make sure the computer is connected and powered up.
