Ports and I/O Hardware Resource: #

Power Supply and Network for Arm KVM Standard V2（Necessary）: #

The power port for the ArmKVM Standard V2 is located at the lower left corner of the motherboard, labeled as PWR&UART on the board. You need to use your USB Type-C cable to connect it to a power adapter with an output voltage of 5V and a power supply capacity of at least 1A.（1 ampere at 5Volts，5Watts）

“Note: Using a power supply with an output voltage higher than 5V will cause irreversible damage to the device.”

The Ethernet port is located above the power port, labeled as "ETH” on the motherboard. Use a Cat 5 or higher standard network cable to connect it to a router or switch.

HDMI Capture: #

The HDMI video capture port is located at the lower right corner of the motherboard, labeled as “HDMI IN” on the board. You need to use an HDMI cable of HDMI 1.4 standard or higher to connect it to the HDMI port of the controlled host or server.

USB Keyboard/Mouse/Storage Device Emulation : #

The USB Keyboard/Mouse/Storage Device Emulation function is provided by the USB OTG port of the ArmKVM, located above the HDMI video capture port, labeled as “USB OTG" on the motherboard. You need to use a USB Type-C cable to connect it to the USB port of the controlled host or server.

ATX Power Management Control (Optional): #

The ATX Power Management Control function is provided by the port with the RJ45 form factor on the ArmKVM, located at the upper right of the motherboard, labeled as “ATX POWER CTL“. You need to use a Category 5 or higher standard network cable to connect it to the included Host Power Management Board.

Use the included Jump wires to connect the motherboard panel pin header on the Host Power Management Board to the pin header on the controlled host or server motherboard. If you also need to use functions like the power button on the chassis panel, connect the chassis panel wires to the host chassis panel pin header on the Power Management Board.

“The pin arrangement of the motherboard panel pin header and chassis panel pin header on the Host Power Management Board may differ from your motherboard. You need to perform the wiring according to the definitions provided in your motherboard’s data manual. The definition of the motherboard panel pin header on some motherboards may be non-standard, potentially resulting in reversed polarity. This can cause the Host Power Management Board to malfunction. In such cases, you need to reverse the polarity of the relevant Jump wires.”

Network Serial Terminal (Optional) #

The serial port provides the Network Serial Terminal function with an RJ45 form factor on the ArmKVM, located above the USB OTG port, labeled as “RS232 COM” on the ArmKVM motherboard. Therefore, the controlled host or server needs to have a serial port capable of sending and receiving data according to the RS232 communication standard. The serial port of a soft router is generally in the RJ45 form factor, which can be directly connected to the RS232 COM port of the ArmKVM using a standard network cable. The serial port of a server or industrial control equipment is generally in the DB9 form factor, requiring an RJ45 to RS232 serial cable to connect it to the RS232 COM port of the ArmKVM.

Start the Device and Begin Use： #

Before beginning use, please ensure that you have completed the system flashing and hardware connection steps. The ArmKVM will automatically start after the power is connected. The first startup may be slightly slow, so please wait patiently for 1-3 minutes. The OLED display will light up and show the current IP address. For further system usage, please refer to the ArmKVM system user manual（OS GUIDE）.
