ATX Power Control

ArkKVM includes an RJ12 extension port on the back, used to connect the ATX Power Control board for remote power management.

What It Does​

The ATX Power Control board lets you remotely:

  • Power on your computer
  • Reset the system
  • Monitor power and HDD activity (LED status)

It connects directly to your motherboard's front panel (F_PANEL), allowing ArkKVM to simulate the power and reset buttons.

Power Support​

The ATX board also includes a USB-C port for 5V power input.

This allows it to:

  • Provide backup power to ArkKVM via the RJ12 cable
  • Help keep the device running if USB power from the host is unstable

See Power Options for more details.

Clean Installation​

The board comes with a PCIe-style bracket, so you can mount it neatly inside your PC case.

Note: It does not use a PCIe slot electrically — it's for mounting only.

Keep Your Front Panel Working​

You don’t need to give up your physical buttons.

Each pin is designed with a pass-through connection, so you can:

  • Keep your original front panel buttons and LEDs connected
  • Use ArkKVM at the same time
