CHAPTER 3: Installation and Preconfiguration
3.3.9 C HANGING THE
K EYBOARD S ETTING OF W INDOWS NT 4.0 CPU S
If any CPUs attached to your ServSwitch Affinity are running Microsoft
Windows NT
®
4.0, you must change the keyboard setting in their Control Panel
from the default, “Microsoft Enhanced Keyboard,” to “Standard 101/102 or
Microsoft Natural Keyboard.” Your Affinity system will not work with these CPUs
unless their keyboard settings are changed. To do this, take these steps:
1.
Click on the icon for “My Computer” (or whatever you’ve named the computer).
2. Click on “Control Panels.”
3. Click on “Keyboard.”
4. Click on the “General” tab.
5. In the Keyboard Type field, scroll from the “Enhanced” setting to “Standard.”
For more information, consult your Windows NT manual.
3.3.10 S WITCHING AND A CCESSING THE D ISPLAY FROM THE K EYBOARD
If your ServSwitch Affinity system has been properly preconfigured (see Section 3.6),
it is now ready for operation using its default settings.
To take full advantage of the Affinity’s features, refer to Chapter 6, which gives
detailed information about each of the Affinity commands, describing each
command’s function and keystroke sequence. For your convenience, this info is
summarized in Section 6.1.
To begin switching immediately, however, just press and release your keyboard’s
left Control
Key ([Ctrl]), then—within the next two seconds—type in your desired
port number
with the regular number keys (not the numeric keypad) and press
[Enter]. Or, to review the Affinity system’s configuration settings, press and release
left [Ctrl] followed within two seconds by the [F12] key; this will bring up the
Affinity’s on-screen display (see Chapter 4).
