The TrackPoint
Integrated mouse does not work
Description: The integrated mouse on the TrackPoint keyboard does not work in
the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI).

you want to use a mouse with the EFI, use a standard USB mouse.
Repeat characters appear

sequence occasionally is initiated incorrectly.
Solution: In the unlikely event that this problem occurs, you can backspace over
the repeated characters; then, type the characters that you want.
Initial keystrokes not recognized
Description: If the keyboard remains idle for 30 minutes or longer when the
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is used, your initial keystrokes might not be
recognized when you start typing again.
Solution: Type a few characters; the keyboard will respond correctly.

Light path diagnostics

You can use the light path diagnostics panel to identify the possible cause of a
problem. The light path diagnostics panel is inside the drawer on the right front of
the server. If the system-error LED on the front of the drawer is lit, press on the
front of the drawer to open it and view the LEDs on the light path diagnostics panel.
Additional LEDs to help you isolate and identify a failing device are on the top of
the server and on various boards and devices inside the server.
See the IBM Eserver xSeries 455 Hardware Maintenance Manual and
