* '''Login web UI:''': Access to PiKVM Web Interface via any browser with the URL '''https://pikvm/ ''' OR '''https:// IP ''' address of your ipkvm/, the default user and password is admin/admin* '''Log into PiKVM and open Terminal program'''* '''Switch to 'root' user (enable write mode)'''
:<pre>su root</pre>
:then type the password, and the default password is 'root' also.
* '''Switch OS to writable mode'''
:<pre>rw</pre>
* '''Enable RTC''' ('''Only for X680 V1.3''' because v1.3 use the ds1307 chip, Please skip this step if you X680 V1.5 using the same chip pcf8563 with pikvm official product):1. Due to different RTC chips with official PiKVM hardware, you still need to '''configure RTC''' to make RTC work normally.
:Firstly, insert 2. Insert the '''C1220''' button battery. run the following command in web terminal window:
:3. Edit the /boot/config.txt file, and change line <code>dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8563</code> to <code>dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307</code> (due to use the different RTC chip).
:<pre>sudo nano /boot/config.txt</pre>
:Then save & '''reboot''' the device;
:Test & setting RTC, write&read the time of Raspberry Pi to RTC DS1307

===*How to switch target computers/servers===boot from NVME SSD?The IP KVM (X680) Switch supports direct switching through buttons on front panel and hotkey through keyboard connected to the special USB :1.1 port. Prepare the '''Win32 Disk Imager tool''' first, download and install it also supports remote hotkey switching between computers for easy monitoring, refer to:https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
====Computers/Servers Switching====Press to select PC1/PC2/PC3/PC4 through buttons on front panel:2. Insert NVME SSD into the corresponding LED located on the right of the button will be on if a PC is selected. the PC1 will be automatically selected when power applied '''USB to NVME ssd adapter''' or restored.[[X876]]
