The managed server and its BIOS can be accessed using a regular VNC client which supports JPEG compression.
* **IPMI BMC**
Use `ipmitool`, `ipmiutil` or any thing in your network infrastructure that supports IPMI to monitor and manage the server's power.

Pi-KVM can be configured to power up a managed server using WoL. This will be available in the Web menu.
* **Extensible authorization methods**
Multiple Pi-KVMs can be configured to use a [common authorization service](https://github.com/pikvm/kvmd-auth-server). You can also use PAM and its rich authorization mechanisms to integrate Pi-KVM into your existing auth infrastructure.

* If you want to capture VGA, buy the [VGA-to-HDMI converter](https://aliexpress.ru/item/4000553298530.html).
**PS: Don't use random relay modules or random optocouplers!** Some relays or optocouplers may not be sensitive enough for the Raspberry Pi, some others may be low-level controlled. Either use relays that are controlled by a high level, or follow the scheme and buy an OMRON. See details [here](https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues/13).
* You can power your Pi-KVM using PoE, but we do not recommend using the official PoE HAT: it is unreliable and [not compatible with the HDMI bridge](https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues/6). Use any other one without I2C fan controller.
