NOTE: After pressing the KVM selection button, allow approximately two seconds for the KVM functions to change to a different server module.

If the mouse is connected to the back-panel KVM module and works with another server module, the first server module may need to be reseated. See "Server Modules" on page 73. If reseating the server module does not help, the server module may be faulty. See "Getting Help" on page 127.

7Swap the mouse with a known-working mouse and repeat step 5 and step 6. If the mouse does not work with any server module, see "Getting Help" on page 127.
