MULTI-HEAD SERVSWITCH™
Problem:
Compaq MX11800 model integrated keyboard and mouse only: The mouse consistently
fails to boot when the Switch is connected to PCs running Windows NT 4.0
through their PS/2 style mouse ports.
Possible Solutions:
There are three possible solutions to this problem:
1. Use a different type of mouse.
2. Connect the Switch to your NT 4.0 PCs through adapters and their serial ports
rather than through their PS/2 ports.
3. Select channel 0, or another channel that is not connected to an NT 4.0 PC,
while NT is booting. You should be able to use the system normally once the logon
screen appears.
