When I attempt to boot the server with the mouse, keyboard, and video connected through this switch, I get an error that no keyboard is present. If I remove the mouse, the keyboard will work. With both peripherals connected it will not work. If I connect the keyboard directly into the server, it works fine.

The fix is to get an adapter that will allow it to work correctly. <BR />The product code is KV99CA.
