Setup Considerations

The KH98 supports hot plugging. Components can be removed and added back

into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables from their

respective ports without the need to shut the switch down. For hot plugging to

work properly, the following procedures must be observed:

When hot plugging cables from the KVM ports:

1. The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.

2. The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.

3. After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the

First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch In).

The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. When hot

plugging the mouse from the KH98's console mouse port:

1. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,

for example), as long as you use the same mouse.

2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on

the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted. (Refer

back to the note describing the Power On sequence on p. 11, if necessary.)

Note: If, after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no response to

mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard input, simultaneously press and hold Port

Select buttons 1 and 2 on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to perform a

PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse reset.
