Hot Plugging

The GCL1908 / GCL1916 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, the procedures described below must be followed:

In order for the OSD menus to correspond to KVM port changes, you must

manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new port information. See the F3

SET (page 29) and F4 ADM (page 31), functions for details.

Note: If the computer's operating system does not support hot plugging, this

function may not work properly.

The GCL1908 / GCL1916 provide three port selection methods to access the

computers on the installation: Manual, OSD (on-screen display), and Hotkeys.

See Chapter 4, OSD Operation and Chapter 5, Keyboard Port Operation for

more information.

Use the Port LED/Port Pushbuttons located on the keyboard module to switch

KVM focus to any port on the installation.
