A control board that manages computer power states. It also includes a USB-C port for connecting
a 5V power supply. This can then power the JetKVM through the RJ11 cable. Alternatively, 5V
power can be supplied through a pin header.
A control board that manages computer power states. It includes two stacked rows of pins on the rear for ATX buttons and LEDs, and an RJ11 and USB-C port on the front for connecting to the JetKVM and 5V power supply, respectively. A non-populated header is also provided for 5V power, if desired.

The ATX Power Control comes with a PCIe slot cover bracket, allowing for clean cable routing through your PC case - without requiring an actual PCIe slot.
The ATX Power Control comes with a PCIe slot cover bracket, allowing for clean cable routing through your PC case - without requiring an actual PCIe slot. Remember that HDMI and USB also need to be connected between the JetKVM and PC, and that this USB connector can also supply power to the JetKVM.

Each pin features dual headers: one set for KVM control and another for the original front panel buttons—meaning you don't have to choose between them. Both can be connected simultaneously.
The rear pins are stacked, with input from the motherboard on the top and output to the case on the bottom. This allows pass-through control: The JetKVM can control power and reset and show power and HDD activity while also allowing these functions to be controlled using the original front panel buttons and LEDs—meaning you don't have to choose between them. Both can be connected simultaneously.

The included ribbon cable has a single 1x8 connector on one end and eight individual connectors on the other. First, locate the header cables and pins for the power and reset switches and power and HDD LEDs on your motherboard and case, remembering that the LEDs must be connected with proper polarity (+/-). Plug the case connectors into the corresponding locations on the lower set of pins on the ATX Power Control board. Next, attach the included ribbon cable to the top set of pins on the board and connect the other end of each cable to the proper spot on the motherboard.
