A. First make sure that the CPU is in fact connected to the
ServSwitch Spectra and that the Spectra is getting power.
(To get enough power to work properly, the Spectra must
be cabled to the keyboard port of a powered CPU.)
B. If the Spectra is ON, make sure its keyboard and
mouse settings are correct.
C. If the configuration is OK, check your cables. Tighten
any loose connections. If the keyboard and mouse
strands of the CPU-Expansion Cable are backwards, plug
them into the proper ports (the mouse connectors are
always green).
D. If you don’t find a cable error, try swapping in
different keyboards and/or mice one at a time. If the
problem goes away when you substitute a keyboard or
mouse, the one you were using might have gone bad.
E. If swapping input devices doesn’t solve the problem,
begin swapping your cables one at a time. If the problem
goes away when you substitute a cable, the cable you
were using is probably defective.
