    What’s the use case for PoE? If the mobo can’t supply energy, there’s not much you can do via this device, right? What have I missed?

        Sure but if there’s no power on the mobo, the device can’t do anything. Even if it sends an ACPI on signal, there’s no power. 🤷

          Pretty sure you still connect the kvm card to the motherboard power button jumpers so you can power on the computer remotely. That’s how the non-pcie version does it.

          At least you would know that the KVM is responding even though the computer is not, so it’s more likely a hardware issue than a network one
