WarpKVM ATX power control
Wireless ATX power, reset, and front-panel telemetry. No soldering.
What it does
WarpKVM ATX gives you hard power control over a machine, the remote equivalent of being at the case:
- Power and reset, even when the OS is gone
- Front-panel LED telemetry: see power and disk activity remotely
- Standby-rail or USB-C powered: works when the host is off, no separate supply required
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on board: pair it with a WarpKVM, or run it as a standalone device on your network
Installation
- Power down and open the case.
- Unplug the front-panel header block from the motherboard.
- Plug WarpKVM ATX into the front-panel header, and the original block into WarpKVM ATX's passthrough. The case buttons keep working exactly as before.
- Close the case. There is no step four.
No soldering, no flying wires across the case, no second cable run.
Pairing
WarpKVM ATX links to a WarpKVM over a wireless mesh link, useful when the KVM sits at the top of the rack and the machine is three units down. Pair from the WarpKVM web console: Settings → Power control → Pair device. Once paired, power actions appear in the console and the companion app next to the video stream.
Standalone mode
No WarpKVM nearby? WarpKVM ATX has its own Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so it can join your network directly and act as a standalone power controller. Set it up from the companion app over Bluetooth, connect it to Wi-Fi, and the machine's power, reset, and front-panel telemetry are reachable like any other node, no video stream required.
