KVM (https://pikvm.org/) is a very powerful and Open Source Software which allows for a remote connection via your Raspberry Pi to turn on/off or restart your computer, configure the UEFI/BIOS, and even reinstall the OS using the Virtual CD-ROM or Flash Drive. You can use your remote keyboard and mouse or KVM can simulate a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor, which are then presented in a web browser as if you were working on a remote system directly. It's true hardware-level access with no dependency on any remote ports, protocols or services! The KVM refers to Keyboard Video Mouse. This KVM-A8 PCIe version kit is designed and based on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It is directly inserted into the computer case as a PCI card. It does not require additional cables and is more convenient to use. The whole KVM-A8 PCIe version kit is composed of follow parts: X630 HDMI to CSI-2 Module (for video capture) X630-A8 V1.7 Expansion Board (for PoE, cooling, RTC, ATX power control etc) Note: Raspberry Pi Board is Not Included. Features: Designed especially for KVM ( Raspberry Pi 4-based KVM-Over-IP solution) Installs justs like any PCI card into a tower / desktop PC Compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi 4 Model B(Not support Raspberry Pi 3) Fully compatiblie with PiKVM OS(PiKVM V3 platform) Reliable remote network access to servers and computers HDMI Full HD capture based on the TC358743 chip (from X630) OTG Keyboard & mouse; Mass Storage Drive emulation Hardware Real Time Clock (RTC) with CR1220 coin battery socket Equipped with cooling fan on X630-A8 for heat dissipation of Raspberry Pi 4 Equipped with photocoupler to protect RPi GPIO pins from computer and ESD spikes PoE Supported – Power over Ethernet for simplified installation, also supports for powering via USB-C of X630-A8 Designed to use a single Ethernet cable for both data and power transmission (POE) Reserves the PH2.0-4P connector for I2C OLED display Package Includes: 1 x X630-A8 V1.7 Expansion Board 1x X630-A8-CAB V1.1 Camera Adapter board1 x FPC Cable (5cm length)1 x ATX Control Cable (Length:52cm)1 x Motherboard Internal USB 2.0 9-pin Female Header to TYPE-C USB OTG Cable (Length: 50cm)1 x USB3.0 IDC to TYPE-C (Length: 45cm)1 X HDMI cable (30cm length)1 x Standard height PCIe Add-in Card I/O Bracket1 x Mounting Screws Pack
