CHAPTER 5: Operation
Important:
Mouse-restoration functions should be used with caution, because
unpredictable results might occur if the wrong mouse type is selected. If in doubt,
restore the mouse by rebooting the CPU normally.
Standard PS/2 mouse data uses a different data format than IntelliMouse data,
so two reset functions are provided on the ServSwitch Wizard MP. The type of data
format expected by the CPU depends upon the driver and the type of mouse that
was connected when the driver was booted. The following table may be used as a
guide; note that the mouse-reset functions predict the likely mouse
resolution
settings but may not restore the
speed
or
sensitivity
of the mouse exactly as they were
when the CPU originally booted:

To restore lost mouse movement on a CPU connected to the ServSwitch Wizard
MP:
1. Select the CPU that has lost its mouse movement.
2. Press and hold the pushbutton on the front of the ServSwitch Wizard MP for
five seconds until “C” appears in the front-panel display. The Wizard MP is
now in configuration mode.
3. To restore a PS/2 mouse connection, type the letter “F”, then the number “5”,
then [Enter]. Or, to restore an IntelliMouse connection, type the letter “F”,
then the number “6”, then [Enter].
4. Exit from configure mode by typing the letter “E” followed by [Enter].
5. Test the mouse movement by moving the mouse a short distance.
