Q6. Does KVM-A8 support passive heatsink such as (P165-A or P165-B etc) instead of fan?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: You can use the [[P165]] aluminium heatsink or the [[H402]] pure copper heatsink, but must remove the X630-A8 fan and fan connector.
①If use '''P165-A'''(thickness 7mm), you can use '''M2.5*5mm''' spacer instead of '''M2.5*12mm''' spacer to fix it;
②if use '''P165-B'''(thickness 11mm), you can directly use '''M2.5*6mm''' screws to fix it;
③if use '''Q: Why PiKVM-A3/A4 does not show the video only display <span class="tb_red">No Signals</span>?H402'''(thickness 4mm), you can use '''M2.5*8mm''' spacer instead of '''M2.5*12mm''' spacer.
