Operation
Hot Plugging
The ACS-1216L supports hot plugging - components can be removed and
added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without
the need to shut the unit down. In order for Hot Plugging to work properly,
however, these procedures that must be followed:
M
Switching Station Positions:
You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent
and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to
correspond to the change, you must reset the OSD. See RESET STATION
IDS, p. 24, for details.
Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging,
this function may not work properly.
M
Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually
reconfigure the OSD information for the new Port information. See the F3
SET (p. 20) and F4 ADM (p. 22), functions for details.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off one of the Master View units, before
starting it back up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the Master View back in.
3. After the Master View is up, Power On the computers.
Note: If you have shut down more than one Station, power up the highest
Station first and work your way down to the lowest one.
