An aircraft computer system comprises an electronic flight bag computer and at least two server computers which are linked via a databus in a network configuration. The electronic flight bag computer and the at least two server computers are linked via respective control lines. At least one of the server computers is configured to change between an electronic flight bag mode and an in-flight entertainment mode in response to receiving a pre-determined signal via the control line. At least one of the server computers comprises at least two network switches and is configured to activate one of the at least two network switches and to deactivate the other one of the at least two network switches in response to the pre-determined signal via the control line.
