| Notes:
|
| POWER CYCLE |
| Verify the ATEN CN-6000 Switch is state-independent of its controlled CPUs. | PASS |

| Notes: Mouse performed well with no negative effects
when being switched between the connected CPUs.
|
Monitor Testing
| DISPLAY RESOLUTION TEST |
| Verify the stability of cycling through the various CPUs with X
operating on each and at different resolutions | PASS |
| Notes: The Linux distributions worked at various
screen resolutions.
