Figure 2-4 Overview of CE Boot Process
By default, when the server completes the entire boot process, the keyboard and pointer (mouse)
on each IOP control the CE operating system. Use Ctrl-Shift-F12 or a key sequence you define,
or use the CE tray icon to toggle input control between the CEs and local IOP.
Warning: Once the CEs have synchronized, do not physically attach or
remove keyboards or any devices from a CE. Doing so could
cause loss of synchronization in some CE models.
