Operation

Hot Plugging

The Master View CS-9134/CS-9138 supports hot plugging - components can be
removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from
the ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to
work properly, however, these procedures must be followed:
w
Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
When hot plugging cables from the CPU ports:
1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.
2. The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.
3. After plugging the cables back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the
First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).
w
Hot Plugging Console Ports:
The units support hot plugging of the console keyboard, monitor, and mouse
cables. When hot plugging the mouse from the console mouse port:
1. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,
for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on
the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted. (Refer
back to the note describing the Power On sequence on p. 11, if
necessary.)
Note: If, after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no response to
mouse and/or keyboard input, simultaneously press and hold Port
Select buttons 1 and 2 on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to
perform a Keyboard and Mouse reset.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the Master View units, before
starting it back up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the shut down unit, as well as
all the Master View stations and all the computers that are cascaded down from
it (all the child Master View stations and the computers attached to them).
Note: 1. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the
Keyboard Power On function that are connected to the shut down switches.
Otherwise, the switches will still receive power from the computers.
2. If the Master View unit is operating under external power, unplug
the power adapter cable.
