Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off a CS1708A / CS1716A, do the following
before restarting it:
1. Shut down all the computers that are attached to the CS1708
A / CS1716A.
Note: Unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard
Power On function. Otherwise, the CS1708
A / CS1716A will still
receive power from the computers.
2. Unplug the CS1708
A / CS1716A from its power source.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the CS1708
A / CS1716A back in.
4. After the CS1708
A / CS1716A has started and ascertained its station ID,
power on the computers.
Note: If you have shut down more than one station, power up the highest
station first and work your way down to the lowest one.
USB Peripheral Devices
The front panel USB port is available to connect a USB peripheral device (flash
drive, CD-ROM drive, printer, etc.) to the CS1708
A / CS1716A. Any computer
connected to the CS1708
A / CS1716A can access the USB peripheral on a one-
at-a-time basis. The peripheral device is available to computers connected to
the CS1708
A / CS1716A on the same level only, and is not available to
computers connected to daisy chained switches.
The USB peripheral device is automatically detected on target computers when
switching ports on the CS1708
A / CS1716A. For example, when switching from
a computer connected to port 1 to a computer connected to port 2, the
peripheral device automatically disconnects from the computer on port 1 and
connects to the computer on port 2.
