The LINDY CPU Switch Smart draws its power from the connected computers and 

therefore may only be fully powered down when all the connected computers have 

been switched off or disconnected. However, the LINDY CPU Switch Smart may be 

reset without disconnecting or powering down your computers by using the reset 

switch on the underside of the unit. Performing a reset using this switch performs a 

complete hardware reset on the LINDY CPU Switch Smart and is equivalent to 

switching off the power. To perform a hardware reset, move option switch 8 to the 

ON position (halt and reset) and then back to the OFF position (normal operation). 

 

PC boot up sequence - When your PCs are powered on they communicate with 

any attached keyboards and mice and setup parameters required by the particular 

operating system. It is necessary for the LINDY CPU Switch Smart to be attached 

and powered on during this sequence so that it can give the required responses and 

keep track of all the modes and settings requested by each of the connected PCs.   

 

Mouse characteristics - do not unplug a PS/2 mouse connection from a PC whilst 

the PC is on. Due to the design of PS/2 mice communications the mouse function on 

the PC will be lost and you will have to re-boot the PC to regain normal operation. 

Unplugging the mouse from the LINDY CPU Switch Smart will also cause it to stop 

operating when it is plugged back in. RS232 mice can usually be unplugged and 

plugged back in provided that a mouse was connected when the operating system 

initially booted. The LINDY CPU Switch Smart is fitted with a PS/2 mouse recovery
