Step 3 - Applying power
It is recommended that each connected CPU be booted up starting with
the CPU connected to Port #1. Switch the Vista to the CPU port by
pressing the appropriate numbered button on the front panel (1-4 or 1-8).
Boot that CPU. Verify that the mouse and keyboard function properly. If
the keyboard or mouse does not respond, see the troubleshooting section.
Verify that the CPU functions and applications perform properly before
booting up the next CPU. Perform this procedure for all connected CPU.
Figure 8 shows a typical installation.
Step 4 – Verify keyboard, mouse and CPU operation
Verify the keyboard and mouse function properly for each CPU that is
connected to the Vista switch. Refer to the troubleshooting section if
needed.
Rack mounting
The Vista switch is designed to mount in a CPU rack. Rackmount kits are
available in three different sizes, 19", 23", and 24".
Each is 1 rack unit high (1.75").
(See Appendix D and Appendix E for rack mounting instructions.)
Your Vista switch is now ready for operation using the initial factory
settings. Pressing the numbered buttons (1-4 or 1-8) on the front panel will
switch to that port. To take full advantage of the Vista features, refer to the
operating instructions for detailed information about each of the Vista
commands. The keyboard commands are summarized in Table 5.
To begin switching immediately from the keyboard, press and release the
left control <Ctrl> key, then type in the computer number (1-4 or 1-8). The
video from the connected computer will display on the KVMs video
monitor.
