Geekworm X680 4-port IP KVM Switch for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4(CM4)

Upgrade:  X680 is upgraaded from V1.3 to V1.5 from June 2024， adding the following features:

• Supports switching between hosts in the web UI
• Supports HDMI input resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz

Notes: 

1. The X680 Kit Does not include a Raspberry Pi CM4 module, please purchase the CM4 module yourself.
2. If booting from NVMe SSD, it is required to change the CM4 boot order.
3. User Manual: wiki.geekworm.com/X680
4. If you are using a device that supports ATX CONTROL,  You MUST buy the right number of X630-A5 & RJ45 ATX Control Cable according to the number of target computers you want to control.
5. You need to buy the appropriate length HDMI cable by yourself, because we don't know what length HDMI cable you need!!!

Additional accessories need to be purchased by yourself:

• Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 CM4
• X630-A5 & RJ45 ATX control cable，If you need to control 4 computers, you need 4 sets of X630-A5, to control 3 you need 3 sets of X630-A5, and so on
• A minimum 16 Gb class 10 memory card is recommended.（In fact, you don't need Micro SD card if you use CM4 with eMMC, because you can flash the firmware into the eMMC.）
• M.2 NVMe SSD
• HDMI Cable

Geekworm Raspberry Pi-based KVM-Over-IP Family

Overview
This X680 is a member of the KVM family, it is a 4-port IP KVM Switch empowers you to securely manage up to four computers/servers remotely from almost anywhere using the internet or your local area network (LAN).

Unlike software solutions that require installation and work through your server's operating system, this IP KVM Switch 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. Featuring 3 additional USB2.0 ports for peripheral sharing (USB storage, CD ROM, etc.), allowing file transfers and disk emulation for remote application and OS installs.

The IP KVM Switch supports direct switching through buttons on front panel and hotkey through keyboard connected to the special USB 1.1 port. it also supports remote hotkey switching between computers for easy monitoring.
