Power-Up Sequence
The UNIMUX can be powered at any time.
The CPUs can be powered at any time although if a CPU needs a keyboard and/or mouse at power-ON it should be powered
after connecting to and powering-ON the UNIMUX.
USB input devices (keyboard and mouse) can be hot plugged to and from the UNIMUX at any time.
Immediately after powering ON the UNIMUX, the following splash screen will appear on the monitor if the OSD option is built into
the switch:
If the security option is enabled (see page 12 for details on the
"Security Option"), when the UNIMUX is powered up the user will
be prompted for a username and password to continue. If the

normal operation of the connected CPU.
