Use this field to tell the IBM PC compatible and multiplatform ServSwitch Ultra

what type of keyboard mode (PC mode 1, 2, or 3) a given CPU uses. To change a

CPU port’s keyboard mode, press [Enter] while the corresponding “Keyboard”

field is highlighted. A keyboard-mode input box appears, as shown in Figure 5-7

below.

Figure 5-7. Changing a CPU port’s keyboard mode.

Use the arrow keys to select the desired keyboard mode and hit [Enter]. The input

box disappears and the new setting appears in the appropriate “Keyboard” field.

For PCs there are three possible keyboard modes: mode 1 (PC1), mode 2 (PC2),

or mode 3 (PC3). Most regular PCs are mode 2 don’t require you to change the

default setting. Most UNIX workstations and servers, including many IBM

RS/6000, SGI

, HP

700 or 9000 series, and DEC Alpha

computers, use mode 3.

Certain IBM brand PCs, especially PS/2 models, can be either mode 1 or mode 2;

short of rebooting, there is no way to know for sure except by trial and error. (If

you are able to reboot the computer while it is connected to the Serv unit, the unit

should autodetect which mode it is and display it in this field.)

For Apple or Sun CPUs attached to your multiplatform ServSwitch Ultra system,

choose the Apple or Sun setting respectively. (The PC-only ServSwitch does not

support these settings; they will not even appear here. Conversely, only the “Apple”
