CHAPTER 5: Operation
If you have powered down your ServSwitch Duo, or if you are attempting to hot-
plug a system into it, you may be able to restore lost mouse movement using the
ServSwitch Duo's mouse-restoration functions.
Mouse-restoration functions should be used with caution, because unpredictable
results may occur if the wrong mouse type is selected. If in doubt, restore the
mouse by rebooting the PC normally.
Standard PS/2 mouse data uses a different data format than IntelliMouse data,
so two reset functions are provided on the ServSwitch Duo. The type of data format
expected by the PC depends upon the driver and the type of mouse that was
connected when the driver was booted. The following table may be used as a guide;
note that the mouse-reset functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but
may not restore the speed or sensitivity of the mouse exactly as they were when the
PC originally booted:
Type of mouse/ Driver type: Probable Suggested
system connected expected restoration
at bootup: data format: command:
PS/2 PS/2 only PS/2 F5
PS/2 IntelliMouse PS/2 F5
IntelliMouse PS/2 only PS/2 F5
IntelliMouse IntelliMouse IntelliMouse F6
To restore lost mouse movement on a CPU connected to the ServSwitch Duo:
1. Select the CPU that has lost its mouse movement.
2. Press and hold the SELECT button on the front of the ServSwitch Duo for
five seconds until “C” appears in the front-panel display. The Switch is now in
configuration mode.
3. To restore a PS/2 mouse connection, type the letter “F” followed by the
number “5” followed by [Enter]. Or, to restore an IntelliMouse connection,
type the letter “F” followed by the number “6” followed by [Enter].
4. Exit from configure mode by typing the letter “E” followed by [Enter].
5. Test the mouse movement by moving the mouse a short distance.
