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?
The network port on the KVM will connect to a switch (which can provide PoE, potentially), not to the device it's managing.
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
