Except for one instance, the keyboard type (that is, what type the shared keyboard
is) can be viewed but not changed; it is shown here for your information only. It
will always be either “PC 101/102” (IBM PC compatible), “PC 104/105” (IBM PC
Windows compatible), “Apple” (Apple compatible), or “Sun” (Sun compatible).
(The one exception is that you can switch between “PC 101/102” and “PC
104/105.”) ServSwitch Ultras normally autodetect the keyboard type when they are
powered up. However, if you power up a Switch when no shared keyboard is
attached to it, this setting will default to “PC 104/105”; if you attach an Apple or
Sun keyboard later, the Switch won’t recognize it until you power the unit off and
back on again.
When you use a Sun keyboard, the ServSwitch Ultra also autodetects the Sun
keyboard type (that is, what version of the Sun keyboard it is) and the Sun

requests it for a booting procedure or other process.) The keyboard language will
