PiKVM-A3 is a member of the [[PiKVM]] <ref>PiKVM © belongs to https://pikvm.org</ref> family, which supports Raspberry Pi 4 with a matching metal case. '''The PiKVM-A3 is composed of follow parts:''' [[File:IMG20220616171152-970x600.jpg|700px|RPIKVM-A3]]* '''[[X630]]''' HDMI to CSI-2 Board (for video capture)* '''[[X630-A3]]''' HAT Board (for ethernet, cooling, RTC, ATX Control power in etc)* '''[[X630-A5]]''' Adapter Board (it is installed inside the PC case, and it connect the computer motherboard and IO panel cabe of PC case))* '''[[0.96 inch OLED Shield |0.96 inch OLED]]''' (for display, Resolution: 128×64 pixel)* Ethernet Cable (TIA/EIA-568.B connection, and it's ATX control signal cable) '''Note:''' Please use the supplied USB Type-C to USB 2.0 A-Male Cable only. USB-C to USB-A cable only with DATA lines (for keyboard and mouse emulation), Using other cable might cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi. We need to ensure you isolate the 5v connection between the Raspberry Pi and host PC to prevent backpower issues that can cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi. Some PC case may not have HDMI port, you need to use VGA/DVI to HDMI adapter to transfer HDMI port.

Due to downloading the wrong firmware, the OLED cannot be displayed. We '''ALSO''' made such mistakes during testing.

3. Run then runt the following command to check the I2C i2c address: sudo i2cdetect -y 1

'''3c ''' is a hexadecimal number, it is the I2C address of OLED, if you can’t find this value, please shut down and reconnect X630-A3&OLED and run this command again, If you still can't find the OLED's I2C address, the OLED screen may be damaged.

'''Q. I want to control several pc power. Is it possible with one PiKVM-A3 and several x630-a5'''==References== A. No, one kit can only control one pc, you can refer to [[X680]]  '''Q. There is a I2S Audio In on X630-A3, does the packing list contain an I2S cable? How to connect it?''' A. No contain an I2S cable.  PiKVM OS does not support I2S, so it cannot be used yet. The 10pin SH1.0 connector is for '''future''' I2S HDMI audio support. Once it supported, we will update the product information for detail use.  '''Q: How to login?''' A: Input the XX.XX.XX.XX ip address on the explorer, then input user: admin, the default password is 'admin' also.  '''Q: How to switch root user?''' A: su root #default password is root also  '''Q: Why PiKVM-A3<references /A4 does not show the video?''' A:* Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly. For the CSI bridge, this should be exactly the camera port;* Some laptops do not output any signal until you switch the output (usually via the FN + and an F5 key on the keyboard).* Your computer may have turned on sleep mode for the monitor.
