UNATTENDED REBOOT

UNATTENDED REBOOT

After a power outage, each server connected to the switch box reboots (if configured to do so) when power returns without operator intervention. The switch generates responses to ensure that the reboot is successful and that it is ready to switch be- tween computers.

Note

This procedure requires that the Snapshot command be performed before power loss.

RESETTING THE UNIT

If the keyboard or mouse locks up, you can push the RESET button on the back panel to reset the switch. Pressing the RESET button may allow you to recover the device settings without power cycling the computers.
