CHAPTER 4: Operation
• If you are using a PC mouse as the common mouse, make sure that the
IBM PC CPUs use only the generic Microsoft mouse driver
MOUSE.COM
,
version 4.0 at least and preferably version 9.01 or higher. If you’re
running Windows
® , this driver must be loaded in Windows as well as in
the base operating system. Do not, on any of your switched IBM PC CPUs,
run any programs or TSRs, or enter any DOS commands, that change the
settings of the mouse port after the driver has been loaded.
• When you first switch between CPUs, especially CPUs of different
platforms, you might notice wide variations in mouse sensitivity (how far
or fast the mouse moves) from CPU to CPU. This is normal. All three of
the major platforms supported by the ServManager (IBM, Apple, and
Sun) have ways to adjust the sensitivity of the mouse. (This is usually
handled through some kind of software “control panel,” but the specifics
vary depending on the operating system and [in IBM applications] on the
mouse driver.) To optimize mouse movement, adjust the sensitivity on
each CPU according to your individual preference.
• Although the ServManager resists minor transient surges that can be
caused by rapidly cycling power, certain keyboards are sensitive to such
transients. Since your shared keyboard’s power is provided by the
ServManager, wait at least three seconds after powering down the
ServManager before powering it up again, or the keyboard might not
reset correctly.
• For IBM applications, the ServManager is designed to support IBM PC
compatible 101-key keyboards and IBM PC keyboard-scan modes 1, 2, and
3, and it’s designed to work with PC-type CPUs/keyboards that use 5-pin
DIN or 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard connectors. The ServManager might not
work properly with PC-type keyboards that have proprietary keys or
connectors or use proprietary keyboard-scan modes.
• For Sun applications, if your Sun CPUs are looking for an older
(Type 3) keyboard or a keyboard language other than standard US, you
will have to set the Sun keyboard type or language with the front-panel
display and keypad (see
Section 4.4.2.L ); there is no keyboard command
to do this. Note that all of your Sun CPUs must be able to accept this
single Sun keyboard type/language setting.
