<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: You only can use GPIO16, 26, 11, 17, 25, 9, 10 pins on [[KVM-A3]]
A: Please follow the steps below to check
</div>
 
</div>
1. Please confirm that the OS is correct according to your Raspberry Pi version:
 
Due to downloading the wrong firmware, the OLED cannot be displayed. We ALSO made such mistakes during testing

Q: I want to control several pc power. Is it possible with one [[KVM-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.

Q: How to do if [[KVM-A8]] hangs up or reboot or has to be started manually?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A. The [[KVM-A8]] hardware itself does not cause the system to reboot, and [[KVM-A8 shield is controled by raspberry pi 4;


'''Please ensure these keys:'''
2. Please check if the order of OLED screen pins is correct, please email to support@geekworm.com if it's a wrong pin order;


1. The [https://pikvm.org/download/ PiKVM OS version] is correct;
[[File:OLED-IMG-4373-1.jpg|800px]]


2. Check & use a high-quality power supply;
The run the following command to check the I2C address
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
<pre>
    0  1  2 3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a b  c  d  e  f
00:                        -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
</pre>


3. Whether the raspberry pi 4 temperature is too high;
3c is a hexadecimal number, it is the I2C address of OLED, if you can’t find this value, please shut down and reconnect shield and OLED, then run this command again, If you still can't find the OLED's I2C address, the OLED screen may be damaged.


4. Contact us via email to support@geekworm.com


[[File:Kvm-a8-cable.jpg]]
'''PS''': Since the i2cdetect tool is not installed by default in pikvm os, you need to install it first. You can install it through the following command
<pre>
pikvm-update
rw
pacman -S i2c-tools -y
</pre>


If you find that the color wiring is wrong, please contact us at support@geekworm.com
4. Then run the following command to enable OLED display:
rw
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled
ro
