Powering up the OutLook Switch System

The switch must be powered up before the attached servers since the switch
stores mouse and keyboard connection and rate data for each server. The
switch uses this information to initialize the keyboard and mouse interfaces of
the servers. If the servers are turned on before the switch, the servers may
exhibit abnormal or erratic behavior.
To power up the OutLook switch system:
1.
Turn on the monitors.
2.
Turn on the primary switch.
3.
Turn on the servers attached to the primary switch.
4.
Turn on the secondary switch (if applicable).
5.
Turn on the servers attached to the secondary switch (if applicable).
Checking the OutLook switch system startup behavior
During system startup, check to see that your primary OutLook switch does
the following:
Lights the blue LED power indicator on the front of the switch (if applicable)
Identifies the mouse and keyboard and sets their default states
Displays copyright information about the OutLook switch and firmware
Selects a port and displays its number in the status flag on the monitor
See the following table for the default port number that displays in the status
flag on startup for each of the OutLook switch models.

If the copyright information and status flag do not appear, check that the
monitor is connected and powered up.
