Use this field to tell the ServSwitch Ultra what type of keyboard or keyboard mode
(PC mode 1, 2, or 3, Apple, or Sun) a given CPU uses. To change a CPU port’s
keyboard mode, press [Enter] while the corresponding “Keyboard” field is
highlighted. A keyboard-mode input box appears, as shown in Figure 5-7 below.
Figure 5-7. Changing a CPU port’s keyboard mode.
Use the arrow keys to select the desired keyboard mode and hit [Enter]. The input
box disappears and the new setting appears in the appropriate “Keyboard” field.
For PCs there are three possible keyboard modes: mode 1 (PC1), mode 2
(PC2—the factory default), or mode 3 (PC3). Most regular PCs are mode 2 and
don’t require you to change the default setting. Most UNIX workstations and
servers, including many IBM RS/6000, SGI
®
, HP
®
700 or 9000 series, and DEC
Alpha
®
computers, use mode 3. Certain IBM brand PCs, especially PS/2 models,
can be either mode 1 or mode 2; short of rebooting, there is no way to know for
sure except by trial and error. (If you are able to reboot the computer while it is
connected to the Serv unit, the unit should autodetect which mode it is and display
it in this field.)
For Apple or Sun CPUs attached to your multiplatform ServSwitch Ultra system,
choose the Apple or Sun setting respectively.
