Cabling Making Connections Under Power The user can connect additional computers to the console switch while it is powered up. When powering the newly connected computers, the console switch recognizes them, and the user can switch to the new computers without taking any additional steps. The user can also connect the mouse and/or keyboard to the console switch while the system is powered up. When connecting a new device, the console switch recognizes it and configures it to the settings of the currently selected computer. This technique allows failed devices to be replaced without having to restart the system. NOTE: When new computers are added to the console switch, or when existing connections are changed, the new configurations should be saved in NVRAM by using the Snapshot option from the OSD. Alternate Configurations There are other ways to configure the system, including tiered console switch configurations and dual console configurations. 3-10 Compaq Server Console Switch User Guide
