Troubleshooting

If you experience any problems, first ensure that all cables are well seated and that both the mouse and keyboard have been correctly installed in each of the connected computers operating systems before connecting to the CPU Switch Lite USB 2.0.

Tip: To avoid confusion label the cables with the number of each connected computer!

PC Computers

•Error Message: Keyboard or mouse are not found/not recognised during Boot-up. When connecting a PS/2 keyboard to the CPU Switch LITE USB 2.0’s PS/2 port, the computer fails to boot because of a keyboard error! The PC’s BIOS (Basic Input Output System) may need to be upgraded to so that it accepts USB to PS/2 conversion (normally most modern BIOS will support this). Check your PC/motherboard manufacturer’s web site for the latest BIOS version.

•The keyboard or mouse is not working or not compatible with the PC! Please make sure the keyboard and/or mouse works correctly when plugged directly into each of the computers. If the problem persists, please try another keyboard or mouse. (Please also regard the restriction remarks on page 1 of this manual).

•Mouse not working in Auto Scan mode! Press any key on the keyboard, or the button on the CPU Switch to return it to standard mode and then try the keyboard or mouse again.

•About Auto Scan mode. When the CPU Switch LITE USB is in Auto Scan mode, each computers display is output to the monitor one by one. The USB Hub is not switched in auto scan mode! When you see the display of the computer you want to control, simply press a key and the console connects to that port.

•What is the maximum recommended VGA cable length? The maximum recommended VGA cable length is 5m (20 feet).

•What are the maximum recommended keyboard and mouse cable lengths? The recommended maximum keyboard and/or mouse cable length is 3m (10 feet).

•What is the maximum recommended USB cable length? The maximum USB cable length is 5m (20 foot). If you experience problems using longer cable lengths, please use a USB Active Extension Cable. Please always regard the maximum USB cable segment length of 5m, and the maximum number of USB 2.0/1.1 segments.

•When switching the USB Hub from one computer to another and there are many USB devices attached or shared, it will take about 10 seconds for all USB devices to be initialised.
