ECYCLING
ConsoleSwitch SCS232 contains special circuitry that prevents transmission of accidental “break” signals to
Sun Microsystems servers (and thereby causing them to go to bootprom mode) during ConsoleSwitch power-
down. This circuitry requires approximately three seconds to fully discharge, and ensure “break safety”.
Therefore,
IMPORTANT : To recycle power, turn ConsoleSwitch SCS232 off for
at least 5 seconds before restarting.
This allows ConsoleSwitch’s spurious “break” protection circuitry to fully discharge prior to restarting.
