Troubleshooting the Keyboard

1 Ensure that the blade(s) is turned on.
2 Verify that the iKVM firmware revision is current.
3 Check the keyboard connection to either the front-panel connector on the

blade or to the back-panel iKVM module.

4 If the keyboard is connected to an external KVM using a SIP, check that

the SIP is compatible with the KVM.

5 If two or more blades are installed in the enclosure, select a different blade.

If the keyboard is connected to the back-panel iKVM module and works

with another blade, the first blade may need to be reseated. See "Removing

and Installing a Blade" on page 155. If reseating the blade does not help,

the blade may be faulty. See "Getting Help" on page 361.

6 Swap the keyboard with a known-working keyboard and repeat step 3 and

step 5. If the keyboard does not work with any blade, see "Getting Help" on

page 361.

If the mouse is connected to the back-panel iKVM module and works with

another blade, the first blade may need to be reseated. See "Removing and

Installing a Blade" on page 155. If reseating the blade does not help, the

blade may be faulty. See "Getting Help" on page 361.
