Overview

X650 shield is a member of the PiKVM family. It is a Raspberry Pi CM4-based KVM-over-IP remote management PCI Express card that can be easily inserted into 1U and 2U form factors for PC, Sun and Mac platforms. It adds remote, unblocked, BIOS-level access and control to any server. Accessed from any web browser, it provides anytime, anywhere KVM access with security, stability and speed.

This IP KVM PCI card X650 offers KVM control from the BIOS-level onward. Reboot, monitor the entire boot process, and interact with your connected system easily, while the integrated remote ATX power control allows you to switch the machine on/off, reset it, and monitor power & storage LED activity remotely.

The x650 itself has a built-in Toshiba TC358743 chip, so it no longer needs the X630 for the HDMI to CSI function.

The X650 is also equipped with half-height and standard-height bracket, both mini and standard desktop hostsworkable.

3. Make sure CM4 is tightly connected with X650. (This is very important, and this error often occurs)

Q: How to switch to root user?

A: run the following command:

su root

Then type the password, the default password is 'root' also.


Q: Does the x650 support audio?

A: Yes. Refer to Enable pikvm hdmi audio


Q: Does the x650 support OLED display?

A: Yes. please contact us at mail: support@geekworm.com, But we actually think OLED displays are pointless


Q: How to enable RTC?

A: Firstly, insert the C1220 button battery. run the following command:

rw
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
#Then change the line: dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8563 to dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307

#Test RTC
#Display the current time of the Raspberry Pi
date  
#Write the time of Raspberry Pi to DS1307
sudo hwclock -w

#Read the time of DS1307
sudo hwclock -r
ro

Q: Does the X650 support PoE power? How to enable PoE Power?

A: The X650 reserve the POE port, but need to use with customized POE module to support PoE power, and the customized POE module still not release now. And the X650 does not support the Raspberry Pi official PoE module. Recommend to use PiKVM-A8 kit, if you need PoE power.

Do we have to use the "V3 Pre-Assembled" image or the "V3 Hat Kit" image?

I like the idea of having the GPIO 14, 15, and GND pins available so that you can connect serial UART cable to those pins and have serial console to the pikvm.

Shouldn't it be dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307 instead of dtoverlay=i2c-rtcds1307?

And we correct it in wiki.
