Just received my X680 and INPUT1 HDMI doesn't work at all. If I move the same HDMI cable to another INPUT 2, 3 or 4, I can see video there so I know for a fact this is a hardware defect. I sent a support message just a little bit ago. Let's see how good their support is.

> "four RJ45 ports for ATX power control"

This kit does not come with the ATX power control cables... So what is the pinout for the RJ45s if I want to build my own?

A note about this kit listing:

  • 1. X630-A5 is only suitable for devices with ATX CONTROL such as desktops, servers, etc.
  • 2. If you are using a device that supports ATX CONTROL, we recommend that you purchase X630-A5 and network cable kit;
  • 3. X630-A5 is installed inside the ATX CONTROL device, one X630-A5 only supports one device; X680 supports simultaneous control of 4 devices
  • 4. ATX CONTROL can support remote startup, shutdown, restart and other functions
  • 5. You need to buy the appropriate length HDMI cable by yourself, because we don't know what length HDMI cable you need
  • 6. The X680 Kits DO NOT include CM4 moduel also.

Hi,

RJ45 head 568B line sequence. In fact, the connection method of the general network cable is 568B

You can also make your own ATX control cable, in fact, it is a normal Ethernet cable, and the requirements must be 568B line sequence
