Luckfox PicoKVM PCIe Expansion Card for Remote Power Management

The Luckfox PicoKVM Ext is a PCIe expansion card that, when used in combination with the separately available Luckfox PicoKVM, enables remote power management of a desktop computer. The board is inserted into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard and is compatible with PCIe ×1, ×4, ×8, and ×16 slots. The PCIe interface is used exclusively for 12V power supply and not for data transmission. Alternatively, power can also be supplied via USB, with an onboard switch allowing selection between the two modes. Two front-panel headers enable simultaneous connection to the motherboard front-panel header and the chassis front panel, ensuring the chassis power button remains functional. Via the motherboard USB header, the board provides a USB-A and a USB-C port, to which the Luckfox PicoKVM or other USB devices can be connected. When used with the Luckfox PicoKVM, the connected computer can be powered on, off, restarted, or force-shut down via a web interface, with the current power status also being queryable. An IO control connector with an SH1.0 plug connects the board to the Luckfox PicoKVM. The package includes a full-size metal bracket for compact mounting in standard cases without additional space requirements.
