Description
I’m currently building a 10" mini lab and have several servers in my rack without native remote management capabilities. PiKVM, an excellent open-source project, offers both purchasable and DIY options for remote management, making it an ideal solution.
This bracket is designed to mount two Raspberry Pi 4 boards into a single 1U 10" rack space, with sufficient height to accommodate a PoE+ hat if desired. It is also compatible with the HDMI CSI-2 adapter, allowing each Raspberry Pi to connect to a server while being powered either via PoE or USB internally.
The design includes two front-facing keystone jack slots, which can be used as pass-throughs for USB/Ethernet connections or simply covered for a clean look.
Note: I use a third-party CSI adapter rather than the official one. If you need a specific adapter design, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to adjust the model if there’s enough interest.
All parts and a complete BOM are linked below.
I hope this design is useful! I’m also working on another version that incorporates an HDMI KVM switch, enabling a single PiKVM to manage up to four devices simultaneously. Stay tuned!
