* Reserves the 10pin SH1.0 connector on X630-A3 for future I2S HDMI audio support
* Reserves the 4pin header & spacers for I2C OLED display
* Supports installation of passive heatsink P165-A/P165-B (Refer to [[KVM-A3#comment-4519]])

==How to Cool==
* For use with raspberry pi 4, [[X630-A3]] (PiKVM-A3) equipped with a active cooling fan that cool your raspberry pi;Supports installation of passive heatsink P165-A/P165-B (Refer to [[KVM-A3#comment-4519]])* For use with raspberry pi 4, [[X630-A8]] (PiKVM-A8 PCIe version) equipped with a active cooling fan that cool your raspberry pi;Supports installation of passive heatsink (Refer to [[KVM-A3#FAQ]])
* For use with raspberry pi zero 2 w, [[X630-A4]] (PiKVM-A4) allows to use [[C296]] aluminum heatsink with your raspberry pi zero 2 w, but user need to prepare 4pcs M2.5*7mm screws yourself.
First you need to make sure your hardware connections are correct, please refer to the video and diagram below

3. Flash it to a microSD memory card by following [https://docs.pikvm.org/flashing_os the simple instructions] or [https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html#installing-the-operating-system Official installation tutorial]
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled

==FAQ==
* First of all, we recommend you to get more FAQ information on the official website: [https://docs.pikvm.org/faq/ official FAQ], or check the following FAQ;* You can post a issue ticket at [https://geekworm.com/community/forum/topic/78220/pikvm-faq Geekworm forum] or email to us (support@geekworm.com) and attached your installation pictures or videos to get some help.* Blog sharing for reference: https://www.andysblog.de/kvm-over-ip-pikvm-als-bausatz <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Q1: Which pins are available on the {{KVM-A3?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: You only can use GPIO16,26,11,17,25,9,10 pins on KVM-A3</div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Q2. Why the device does not show the video only display <b><span class="tb_red">No Signals</span></b>?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: * Please check the hardware connection. Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly.* Make sure you use the original HDMI port. If your desktop only has a VGA display port, there may be no video signal when you use VGA to HDMI adapter, and there is no way to solve this; However, you can try to lower the resolution and restart the PC to test, but the probability of success is very low.* Change the HDMI cable to test.* Test the X630 separately to check if there is HDMI output.* 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 maybe enter sleep mode, please exit sleep mode</div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Q3. How to login pikvm?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: Input https://pikvm/ or the XX.XX.XX.XX ip address on the web explorer, then input user: admin, the default password is 'admin' also.

Why OLED is not display?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: Please follow the steps below to check 1. Please confirm that your OS is right: Due to downloading the wrong firmware, the OLED cannot be displayed. We ALSO made such mistakes during testing. [[File:Pi4-V3-HAT.png|800px]] 2. Please check if the order of OLED screen pins is correct, please contact us if it's a wrong pin order; [[File:OLED-IMG-4373-1.jpg]] then runt the following command to check i2c address sudo i2cdetect -y 1<pre> 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3c -- -- -- 40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- </pre> '''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. '''PS''': The newest PiKVM V3 image does not include '''i2cdetect''' tool, and you can use the following command to check the i2c device ls /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-1/devices/4. Then run the following command to enable OLED display: rw systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled ro</div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Q7. I want to control several pc power. Is it possible with one PiKVM-A3 and several x630-a5</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A. No, one kit can only control one pc, you can refer to [[X680]] to control up to 4 PCs.</div></div>FAQ}}
