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
