VKM and CD LED's - Displays Group and CD-ROM selection information.
VKM LED's display the group that is currently selected for output to the Video, Keyboard, Mouse, and floppy disk drive. The led's will also indicate the power status of the selected group. Green indicates power on, red indicates power off.
The CD LED's display which group is currently selected for connection to the internal CD-ROM drive. The LED will display green on the group that the CD-ROM drive is assigned.
The above picture shows group 1 is selected, with power on, and the internal CD-ROM is connected to the processor board in group 6.
Group Select (Model 1200) - Selects another group on the backplane.
The operator may use the Group Select pushbutton on the front
panel to choose which group will control the output to the VKM. The group selected will be
displayed under the VKM LED columns. The LED will be green if the power to the group
is on, red if the power is off.
"Group" refers to a group of slots on the
backplane that are connected together and contain a SP or DP Series plug-in motherboard,
thus comprising one computer in the system.
When a group is selected, its channel on the multiplexor is enabled, thus connecting the
selected group to the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and floppy drive. Several of the other
front panel operations apply only to the selected group.
The Group Select pushbutton is disabled if the console is locked.
Group Select (Model 1210) - Selects the Next or Previous group on the backplane.
The operator may use the Group Select Next or

Status - Diagnostic information.
With the exception of the floppy drive, the muxed devices (monitor, keyboard, and mouse)
may be shared by all systems installed in a single Cubix cabinet .
The Select Chassis pushbutton determines which system is enabled or disabled to control these devices. Only one system may be selected at a time.
When a system is disabled, the muxed devices are not available to the system and the group reset and power functions are not operational. Note that a disabled system can access none of the muxed devices, including the floppy drive (to override this feature refer to the Keylock Option Configuration).
Note that a system is also automatically disabled when another system with which this system is sharing the muxed devices is enabled.
A keylock resides on the front panel. When locked, it disables video, keyboard and mouse
control based on the key lock option switch settings set on the MUX/IES board. (See
Chapter 2 for switch settings).
