Built a nice little PiKVM and deployed it in my NAS. The NAS is heavy and placed in a dark half-height place under the stairs so it’s awkward when things go wrong and you need hardware access.

    Don’t have some Intel CPUs Intel vPro making you also able to control the PC in a LVM manner?
    I havent tried it yet but my (so far) research suggests its possible and it would be a useful feature for those repurposing old workstation pcs as servers.

      I think so, but I don’t have any vPro capable CPUs so I haven’t been able to try it.

        I think some other CPU/MBs also have this feature.
        But I would giess they are only implemented in business scopes like the Pro/EliteDesk line from HP and the other SIs equivalent.
