Sipeed NanoKVM-PCIe is designed for Remote Server Management

The NanoKVM-PCIe is a recent solution from Sipeed, designed to simplify Remote Server Management of ATX PC cases and 2U servers. Built on the RISC-V architecture, it offers low power consumption and easy installation, with compatibility for both low-profile and high-profile PCIe brackets. The NanoKVM-PCIe features various power options, including PCIe 3.3V aux, Power over Ethernet, USB, or a 9-pin connector. it is also equipped with a variety of power options, including PCIe 3.3V aux, Power over Ethernet, USB, or a 9-pin connector and connectivity optional including support for both 100M/10M Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6. There is also 0.49″ OLED display on the board that provides real-time IP and status information for improved usability.

The NanoKVM-PCIe supports 1080P video transmission at 60fps with minimal video delay (100–160ms), handling MJPEG and H.264 encoding. It also features virtual HID, virtual CD-ROM, and Wake-on-LAN functionality, making it a powerful yet affordable solution for remote management.
