PRODUCT DETAILS

Extension Board


› HARDWARE OVERVIEW
  • The X680 is designed to manage up to four computers or servers remotely over a network (LAN or internet) using a Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module (CM4). It provides Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) control at the BIOS level, allowing you to reboot, access BIOS/UEFI, install operating systems, and monitor power/storage LEDs—all from a web browser. For “manage your home cluster remotely,” this is a big deal if you’re running a multi-node setup (e.g., a homelab with NAS, media servers, or test machines) and need full control without physical access.
  • Unlike single-port KVMs, it supports four HDMI inputs, four USB inputs, and four RJ45 ports for ATX power control (via optional X630-A5 modules, ~$29 each). This is tailored for clusters—say, four Pis or PCs in a rack—where you’d otherwise need multiple devices or manual switching.
  • It includes a USB 2.0 hub for peripheral sharing (e.g., USB drives for OS installs), direct button/hotkey switching, and an active cooling fan for the CM4. It’s a comprehensive, Pi-specific kit that avoids the clutter of separate components, fitting neatly into a home cluster environment.
  • Built on the open-source PiKVM platform, it offers a polished web UI, virtual drive emulation (e.g., ISO uploads), and GPIO extensibility—features that shine for remote management of diverse systems, especially in a cluster where you might need to troubleshoot varied hardware.
  • A high-end solution for hobbyists or small-scale IT admins managing a home cluster remotely—think a basement server rack or a distributed Pi farm—where reliability, multi-device control, and BIOS-level access are must-haves.



› APPLICATIONS
The X680 extension board is ideal for data centers, server management, and remote troubleshooting applications. Its compatibility with PiKVM V3 opens up a wide range of customizations, such as integrating additional sensors for environmental monitoring or employing custom case solutions to fit specific rack configurations. It can also be used in educational labs where multiple computers need to be managed and monitored remotely, or in home automation projects for controlling various devices over the network. The board's open-source nature encourages enthusiasts and developers to create and share their custom firmware and software enhancements, fostering a community of innovative KVM solutions.
