Sun Blade Video, Keyboard, and Mouse Support Limitation
Video
If you are accessing a Sun
™
Blade 100 with the KX II-101-V2, video on
the local port or a remote connection may not function properly when the
Sun Blade is booting up. To avoid this issue, be sure you are using Sun
Open Boot firmware 4.17.1 or later.
Keyboard and Mouse
Since Sun Blades do not support multiple keyboards, and no local
keyboard or mouse port is provided, the KX II-101-V2 and a local
keyboard cannot be used at the same time. However, a remote keyboard
and mouse can be used for Sun Blades.
BIOS Access Limitation from a Local Keyboard
A USB connection is required when using Absolute Mouse
Synchronization. However, the keyboards in this section do not support a
USB connection to the local keyboard. To access the local keyboard via
BIOS or virtual media through the local port, follow these configurations:
