SERVSWITCH™ WIZARD
4.2 Configuring the ServSwitch Wizard
The ServSwitch Wizard comes from the factory preset to default configuration
settings which are suitable for most applications. If you need to set the Wizard
differently, you can access its “configuration mode” to do so; once you do, the new
settings are stored in the ServSwitch Wizard’s EEPROM memory and are retained
when the Wizard is powered OFF.

You can access the ServSwitch Wizard’s configuration mode in either of two
different ways: Use one method when you power up the Wizard; use the other
while the Wizard is operating.
• To enter configuration mode at power-up, make sure that the ServSwitch
Wizard and all attached computers are turned OFF and unplugged. Hold
down the front-panel pushbutton while you plug in the ServSwitch Wizard (if
you’re using the optional power supply) or power up one or more of the
attached CPUs (if you’re
not
using the Wizard’s power supply); do
not
release
the button until the ServSwitch Wizard displays “C” to show that it is in
configuration mode.
• To enter configure mode while the ServSwitch Wizard is running, hold down
its front-panel pushbutton for 5 seconds until the front-panel display shows “C”.
In configuration mode, you can change settings by typing a single-letter command
(for a given feature), followed by a single-digit numeric argument (for how you
want that feature to behave), followed by the [Enter] key. Press the [Esc] (escape)
key to abort a setting change before you fully enter it. The ServSwitch Wizard will
remain in configuration mode until you type the letter “E” followed by [Enter] key.
For example: To set the hotkey sequence to option #2 ([Ctrl] + [Shift] +
command key), type [H][2][Enter] while the ServSwitch Wizard is displaying “C”,
then type [E][Enter] to exit configuration mode.
The remaining sections of this chapter describe the Wizard’s user-configurable
settings.
