Is that a Dell KVM switch on a Dell computer?

I do not recognize A81x. Check the label for a 20 digit serial number. What specific Dell computer model?

To be known, I think that the computer on this port is simply sleeping. However, I'm confused because it doesn't start when I start pressing a key. The low level of intelligence on the motherboard that should be responsive should indicate that the keyboard is disconnected. As a result, it no longer searches for input. Put all computers in wake mode and see if the problem goes away. Finally, sleep mode was originally intended to avoid monitor burn-in, but this is rarely a problem these days. And I understand that stopping the disk is not very beneficial. I treat being on a port that is not currently selected as equivalent to sleep. Hopefully this will solve the problem. You can try.
