Figure 3-1. Disconnecting the keyboard or mouse cable
To insert the cable, simply plug it into the appropriate connector. The locking
mechanism automatically locks the cable in place.
You should connect the cables to the switch in this order:
1. Mouse
2. Monitor
3. Keyboard
This cable connection sequence is particularly important later when you install
new devices to your system. You can connect a mouse and/or keyboard to the
switch when the system is running. When you connect the new device, the
switch recognizes the device and configures it to the settings of the currently
selected computer. This allows you to replace failed devices without having to
restart the system.
Whenever you make changes to the switch system, you should save the
hardware configuration settings. If you do not save the settings, they are lost
when power is lost or turned off. To reestablish keyboard and mouse
communication to the switch, you might have to reboot each computer. To
save your hardware settings, click Snapshot on the Commands screen. See
Chapter 4 for additional information on using the OSD.
