Hot Plugging
The KL0116 supports hot plugging. You can remove or add components on the in-
stallation by unplugging their cables from the ports without shutting the unit down.
In order for hot plugging to work properly, you must follow these procedures:
Switching Station Positions:
You can switch KVM station positions by simply unplugging from the old par-
ent and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to
correspond to the change, you must reset the Station IDs in the OSD. See RE-
SET STATION IDS, p. 34, for details.
Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually re-
configure the OSD to reflect the new Port information. See the F3 SET (p. 28)
and F4 ADM (p. 31), functions for details.
Note: This function may not work properly if the computer’s operating system
does not support hot plugging.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to Power Off the KL0116 or one of the daisy chained
units. Before starting it back up you must do the following:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to it.
Note: Unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard
Power On function. Otherwise, the switch will still receive power
from the computers.
2. Wait 10 seconds, then power the switch back on.
3. After the switch is up, power on the computers.
Note: If you have shut down more than one Station (KVM switch), power up
the highest Station first and work your way down to the lowest one.
