| Q1: Why PiKVM-A3/A4/A8 does not show the video only display No Signals?
| |
| </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 <b>VGA to HDMI adapter</b>, 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.

| 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 '''H402'''(thickness 4mm), you can use '''M2.5*8mm''' spacer instead of '''M2.5*12mm''' spacer.
| |
| | |
| You can also use other suitable spacers + screws to fix the heatsink.
