2.8 Resetting the LINDY CPU Switch Smart without disconnecting
your devices
The LINDY CPU Switch Smart draws its power from the connected computers and
therefore may only be fully powered down when all the connected computers have
been switched off or disconnected. However, the LINDY CPU Switch Smart may be
reset without disconnecting or powering down your computers by using the reset
switch on the underside of the unit. Performing a reset using this switch performs a
complete hardware reset on the LINDY CPU Switch Smart and is equivalent to
switching off the power. To perform a hardware reset, move option switch 8 to the
ON position (halt and reset) and then back to the OFF position (normal operation).

2.9 Other useful installation information

PC boot up sequence - When your PCs are powered on they communicate with
any attached keyboards and mice and setup parameters required by the particular
operating system. It is necessary for the LINDY CPU Switch Smart to be attached
and powered on during this sequence so that it can give the required responses and
keep track of all the modes and settings requested by each of the connected PCs.
Mouse characteristics - do not unplug a PS/2 mouse connection from a PC whilst
the PC is on. Due to the design of PS/2 mice communications the mouse function on
the PC will be lost and you will have to re-boot the PC to regain normal operation.
Unplugging the mouse from the LINDY CPU Switch Smart will also cause it to stop
operating when it is plugged back in. RS232 mice can usually be unplugged and
plugged back in provided that a mouse was connected when the operating system
initially booted. The LINDY CPU Switch Smart is fitted with a PS/2 mouse recovery
