2.8 Resetting the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC without
disconnecting your devices
The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC 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 CPU Switch
Smart SUN-MAC-PC 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 CPU Switch Smart
SUN-MAC-PC and is equivalent to switching off the power. To perform a hardware
reset, insert a small blunt object, such as the ball of a pen, into the small hole on the
base of the CPU Switch Smart.
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 CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC 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 CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC 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 CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is fitted with a PS/2
mouse recovery system which allows you to disconnect and re-connect the shared
mouse without powering down the system (although this is generally not advisable) -
see section 2.10 for details.
