server conguration and your mouse, keyboard and video function
properly, your OutLook switch system is ready for operation.
NOTE: When connecting the video, mouse and keyboard cables from your servers to a running
OutLook system, always connect the keyboard cable last. The switch detects the system power
of the secondary switch or server through the keyboard cable. When the keyboard cable is
connected last, the switch initializes both the keyboard and mouse interfaces to the system,
allowing you to add a new switch without restarting your system.
