WarpKVM

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

  1. Power down and open the case.
  2. Unplug the front-panel header block from the motherboard.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
