No keyboard present when using KVM switch

I am using a BLACK BOX ServSwitch box. 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.

Haven't seen that variation... Have you talked to BlackBox support yet?

This is what BlackBox tech support had to offer.....

There is a "hot-plug" option for Proliant servers that the switch does not
support. The fix is to get an adapter that will allow it to work correctly.
The product code is KV99CA.
