CHAPTER 5: Troubleshooting

5.2.6YOUR MOUSE DRIVER DOESNT LOAD (PC CPUS ONLY)

A. What type of mouse are you using? If it’s a regular PS/2 mouse (either a regular type or a wheel mouse), see steps B and C. If it’s a Microsoft BallPoint mouse, see step C. At the time of this writing, the ServSwitch Jr. MP does not support other types of mice.

B. To recognize the mouse, the CPU must be directly connected to it, or indirectly connected to it through the Switch, at boot-up time. Make sure that all cables are properly seated and that the Switch is receiving power from another computer, then reboot the CPU.

C. Your mouse driver might be old or incompatible with your mouse. Try the latest version of the Microsoft mouse driver.

5.2.7YOU CANT ACCESS ALL THE FUNCTIONS OF YOUR MOUSE

A. What type of mouse is it? If it is any other type than those listed as being supported in item A under Section 5.2.6, chances are that the ServSwitch Jr. MP doesn’t support it.

B. If your mouse is a Microsoft BallPoint, you need the latest version of the Microsoft mouse driver.

C. If your mouse is a Logitech mouse, the Switch supports the two-button models but not the three-button models.

5.2.8YOUR PS/2 MOUSE GETS OUT OF SYNC (PC CPUS WITH PS/2 MOUSE PORTS ONLY)

Cabling might have been disturbed during mouse movement. Issue the Send Null Byte command (see Section 4.3.5) once or twice to get the mouse back in sync. You need the latest version of the Microsoft mouse driver to stop this from happening.
