I am talking about this product: ATX Board — GL.iNet EU
It should be universally compatible, I am just wondering before buying and test, if anyone already tried it, maybe coupled with the GL-inet KVM solution.
Thanks!

Can’t say i’ve worked with GL.Inet
but from my understanding they’re mostly repackaging the PiKVM project’s code, a project that includes both IPKVM functionality and remote ATX power control.
I’d recommend giving them a look. I use them daily for both my server management (via a PiKVM V4 with 4 port KVM switch) and for air-gapping my work laptop from my personal network (via a V4 Mini)

Thanks for your reply. I know IPKVM. The question was most related to the compatibility of the ATX board inside the framework desktop.
Let me know if you end up trying this please! I’m considering purchasing the same device and have the same question. I’ll let you know if I get to it first as well!
Yes, it worked perfectly, I found some space inside the case to place the atx board, not yet perfect but it works.
Awesome thank you! Which interface did you use (or was that obvious)?
Just an update on this, the reset button doesn’t work, or at least, what I expect to happen is an hard reset cycle, instead it just power off the machine, you hear the “click” sound coming from the motherboard, tried to change the pin orientation in both sides, it always does the same stuff.I wanted to provide an update on the reset button issue. It doesn’t function as I expected. Instead of initiating a hard reset cycle, it simply powers off the machine. I can hear a “click” sound coming from the motherboard. I’ve also tried changing the pin orientation on both sides, but the same issue persists.
Anyway I’ve just used the KVM poe + ATX board.
I am using this as a reference: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/front-panel-io-connectors-amd-ryzen-ai-max-300-series-Hk3SXolHxg from the framework side, and this one from glinet side: GL-ATXPC (ATX Board) - GL.iNet KVM Docs
still investigating on this.

I successfully installed it! I have the reset issue as well, but my bigger problem is how to route the USB cable from inside computer to outside – how did you manage that? The cleanest way I found was to remove the power button entirely (which I suppose I don’t need thanks to this kvm), but it’s still not ideal. I wish they’d just left a spacer in the back panel for this, but I suppose once I rack mount it this won’t be a problem anyway. I’ll reply here and on your glinet thread if I figure out the reset issue.
at the moment I have just removed the side panels, but I am arriving at the same conclusione, a rack is the better option I guess.
I noticed this when I was testing my new Framework Desktop Mainboard setup, which has separate power and reset buttons.
I’m just speculating, but on some laptops with a combined power/reset button, you long press the power button, which kills the OS and then you press the power button to restart. The reset on this board seems to function like this, rather than what we’re used to with a traditional desktop board.
It may also be a bios issue and can be reported here: Framework SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker

I’ve added this to the issue tracker
Confirmed by Framework in issue tracker that Reset does not automatically restart the computer.
Press Reset to force shutdown and Power to restart.
Ok thanks a lot, so it is like that by design.
