Important Note: You must power cycle the CIM if you change the switch setting while the CIM is
connected to the target server.
Steps to power cycle the CIM:
1. Remove the USB connector from the target server. The video connector can remain in place.
2. Wait 5 seconds.
3. Reconnect the USB connector.
You can configure the CIM using a setup menu for various operating modes, such as keyboard and
mouse types and keyboard language. See the appendix at the end of this document for more
information.

mouse, smart card, and tiering features of the D2CIM-DVUSB.
