2.6.2 Front panel status LEDs
The front panel of switches (16-port and 32-port models only) have a bi-color general status LED that may
illuminate green or amber.
•
The LED illuminates green when the switch is turned on and operating normally.
•
The LED blinks green when the switch is booting.
•
The LED illuminates amber if a fault condition occurs, such as power supply failure (for
switches equipped with dual power supplies), elevated ambient temperature or fan failure. The
LED will continue to illuminate amber as long as the failure persists.
•
The LED blinks between green and amber when the switch is Flash downloading.
2.6.3 Rear panel power status LEDs
The rear panel of 16-port and 32-port switches feature one power status LED for single power switches
and two power status LEDs for dual power switches. On the 4-port and 8-port switches, all LED status
indicators are on the rear panel. The LED(s) illuminate green when the switch is turned on and operating
normally.
•
The LED is off if the power supply does not have power or has failed.
•
The LED illuminates when the unit is ready.
•
The LED blinks when the switch is booting or an upgrade is in progress.
•
The LED blinks "SOS" if a fault condition occurs, such as power supply failure (for switches
equipped with dual power supplies), elevated ambient temperature or fan failure. The LED will
continue to illuminate amber as long as the failure persists.
2.6.4 IQ and DSRIQ-SRL modules
Typically, IQ modules feature two green LEDs: a Power LED and a Status LED.
•
The Power LED indicates that the attached module is turned on.
•
The Status LED indicates that a valid selection has been made to the switch.
The DSRIQ-SRL module prevents a serial break from the attached device if the module loses power.
However, a user can generate a serial break with the attached device by pressing
Alt+B
after accessing
the Terminal Applications menu.
2.7 Adjusting Mouse Settings on Target Devices
Before a computer connected to the switch can be used for remote user control, you must either enable
Vertiv Mouse Sync (see ) or set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
(Windows NT
®
, 2000, XP, Server 2003), use the default PS/2 mouse driver.
To ensure that the local mouse movement and remote cursor display remain in sync, mouse acceleration
must be set to “none” for all user accounts accessing a remote system through a KVM switch. Mouse
acceleration must also be set to “none” on every remote system. Special cursors should not be used and
