USB Keyboard and Mouse

D.1.1

USB Keyboard

The following USB Keyboard information is provided for your Type-6 USB
keyboard:
The Sleep key on the USB keyboard behaves differently than the power key on
Type-5 or Type-6 keyboards. On a USB keyboard, you can
SUSPEND/SHUTDOWN the workstation using the sleep key, but you cannot
power on the workstation.
If you are using a USB keyboard that is not from Sun, the functionality that you
get with a left-side keypad is unavailable.
Note – The keys for the left-side keyboard are not present on the USB keyboard.
Multiple keyboards are not supported. The keyboards enumerate and are usable
but, are not plumbed as a console keyboard.
The first keyboard that gets probed at boot time becomes the console keyboard.
This can potentially cause confusion to users if there are multiple keyboards
plugged in at boot time.
