Step 3 - Applying power

It is recommended that each connected CPU be booted up starting with the CPU connected to Port #1. Switch the Vista to the CPU port by pressing the appropriate numbered button on the front panel (1-4 or 1-8). Boot that CPU. Verify that the mouse and keyboard function properly. If the keyboard or mouse does not respond, see the troubleshooting section. Verify that the CPU functions and applications perform properly before booting up the next CPU. Perform this procedure for all connected CPU. Figure 8 shows a typical installation.

Step 4 – Verify keyboard, mouse and CPU operation

Verify the keyboard and mouse function properly for each CPU that is connected to the Vista switch. Refer to the troubleshooting section if needed.

Rack mounting

The Vista switch is designed to mount in a CPU rack. Rackmount kits are available in three different sizes, 19", 23", and 24".

Each is 1 rack unit high (1.75").

(See Appendix D and Appendix E for rack mounting instructions.)

Your Vista switch is now ready for operation using the initial factory settings. Pressing the numbered buttons (1-4 or 1-8) on the front panel will switch to that port. To take full advantage of the Vista features, refer to the operating instructions for detailed information about each of the Vista commands. The keyboard commands are summarized in Table 5.

To begin switching immediately from the keyboard, press and release the left control <Ctrl> key, then type in the computer number (1-4 or 1-8). The video from the connected computer will display on the KVMs video monitor.
