PC BIOS Notice
The following BIOS setup changes are necessary for PC users using USB and not necessary for
Mac users:
1. In STANDARD CMOS, set HALT ON ERROR to ALL BUT KEYBOARD.
2. In PNP AN PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES and set USB IRQ to ENABLE.
3. For newer computers: in INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS, set USB CONTROLLER and KEYBOARD
SUPPORT to ENABLE.
Also make sure that USB is properly selected in Device Manager under Control Panel, as shown
below.
Note: The SV431H is applicable for USB keyboard and mouse. Switching from one computer
to the next is equivalent to unplugging the USB device from one computer and plugging it to
another. Some USB drivers check attached USB peripherals all the time and do not accept plug-
n-play function.
