Operation
Hot Plugging
The Master View CS-128A supports hot plugging - components can be
removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from
the CPU ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging
to work properly, however, these procedures must be followed:
w
Hot Plugging CPU Ports:
CPU port cables must be plugged back into the exact same ports they were
removed from.
w
Hot Plugging Console Ports:
The unit supports hot plugging of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. When
hot plugging the mouse from the Master View’s console mouse port:
1. You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse,
for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on
the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted. (Refer
to the note describing the Power On sequence on p. 9, and the note under
Powering Off and Restarting on p. 11.)
Note: If, after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no response to
mouse and/or keyboard input, simultaneously press and hold Port Select
buttons 1 and 2 on the First Stage unit for 3 seconds to perform a
Keyboard and Mouse reset.
