Resetting Your PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse

If your PS/2 keyboard or mouse locks up, you may be able to re-establish

operation of these peripherals by issuing a reset command. The reset

command sends a hot-plug sequence to the server which causes the mouse

and keyboard settings to be sent to the DSR1021 switch. With communication

re-established between the server and the DSR1021 switch, functionality is

restored to the user.

NOTE: This function is for Microsoft Windows-based computers only. Resetting the PS/2 on a
server running any other operating system may require that you reboot that server.
