HP Elitedesk G6 issues with the Comet PoE

Hi all ..

I'm just wondering about my newly delivered Comet PoE and using it to control the BIOS on my headless HP EliteDesk Mini G6.

I bought this KVM specifically to allow me to control all aspects of this little machine I've got but I find that I have no keyboard at all when trying to get into the BIOS by pressing F10 during system startup. Interestingly enough, now, I can't even get a physical wired keyboard to work either now for some odd reason -- although I did get it to work a few times yesterday.

I saw someone else asking about the Prodesk G6 that basically had the same issue.. I disabled the virtual media feature but I'm still stuck.

I really like what I see with this KVM and am hoping I can get it working for my use-case

So it is usable once it enters the OS, right? I'm asking because I want to make sure you haven't connected the wires incorrectly.

Another question is, are you sure that the browser or app you are using can successfully hijack F10 and send it to the remote end? You could try something like fullscreen mode iln Chrome .

Hi Minmie.. I found out this morning that I need to figure out why my wired keyboard can't get into the bios at the moment. Once I resolve that issue, in the next day or two hopefully, then I can look into this issue more with the Comet.

Yes, once I'm booted into Debian Linux I can type using the browser window and "host" keyboard without issue. I am using Safari and could try another browser such as Chrome but let me get back to that in a few days. Thx!
