￿CPU cable is loose. Re-seat cable and hit F1 to continue or reboot computer.

￿Wrong cable plugged in. Keyboard and mouse cables reversed.

￿CPU cable is defective. Try using CPU cable from another computer. If problem goes away, cable is defective.

￿Port on UltraMatrix is defective. Try using another port on the UltraMatrix. If problem goes away, port is defective.

￿Port on computer is defective. Try plugging in keyboard or mouse directly. If problem remains, computer port is defective. If computer power status LED not lit, fuse on motherboard may be blown.

Mouse driver does not load

￿If PS/2 type mouse, computer must be attached to the UltraMatrix or mouse at boot-up time in order for mouse to be recognized by the computer. Reboot computer with the UltraMatrix powered on and a CPU cable attached.

￿Incompatible or old mouse driver being used. Update mouse driver.

Can't switch computer port from keyboard

￿Power to the UltraMatrix was removed for less than three seconds possibly causing keyboard to lock up. Detach and reattach keyboard.

￿The mode of the keyboard does not match that of the computer. Issue the mode command, usually 1 for IBM PS/2s, and 2 for all others. The default setting of the UltraMatrix is mode 2. Sometimes an incorrect mode will confuse the computer or keyboard. This requires re-booting the computer or resetting the keyboard by unplugging and plugging it back in.

￿If trying to reach a remote port, that port is busy. Try again later.

￿If trying to reach a remote port, the expansion cable is detached or the remote Unit is powered off.

￿The keyboard mode is incorrect; configure computer port for correct keyboard mode.
