A single device — connected to one host PC — lets you remotely power on, gracefully shut down, or hard-reset up to ten ATX-compatible computers. No IPMI. No iLO. No drive to the client site at 11pm.
It always happens at the wrong time. The OS is locked, RDP won't respond, and the only fix is the hardware power button. Someone has to drive.
Designed so a Tier-1 tech can deploy it in under 15 minutes per site.
Plug the DGBrain device into any Windows host PC via USB-C → USB-A. Install the included software and sign into the DGBrain web portal. One host can manage one device.
Use the included ATX splitter cables to tap the Power SW pin on each target motherboard — same pin the case power button uses. No soldering. Quick-splice adapter included for non-standard boards.
Open the web portal from your phone, laptop, or tablet. Pick a target. Click Quick Press, Hard Reset, or Reset. Power state changes in under a second. Done — no driving.
The DGBrain ATX Power Switch installs once and gives you full remote control over the physical power state of every PC you manage — even consumer-grade boards that don't ship with IPMI.
Brief press of the power pin. Powers on a sleeping machine — or triggers a clean ACPI shutdown if it's already running. Same behavior as tapping the case button.
Long press, forced power-off. Use when the OS is hung, the kernel panicked, or the box won't respond to a graceful shutdown. Skips ACPI entirely.
Long press followed by short press. Forced power cycle for the fastest recovery — power off, brief pause, power back on, all from one click.
Anywhere a hung machine triggers a service call, DGBrain pays for itself in weeks.
Service more clients without expanding your travel radius. Deploy one unit per site, eliminate after-hours service calls forever.
Reboot 10 rigs from one click. Every minute a rig is hung is lost hashrate. Faster recovery = direct margin recovery.
Recover from Proxmox panics or kernel hangs without leaving your couch. Built-in workaround for non-ATX boards.
Reset customer machines without datacenter visits. Cuts incident response time from hours to seconds.
EHR and imaging downtime cancels patient appointments. Recover servers before staff arrives — no morning emergency drives.
Lab workstations, library PCs, server closets — all remotely controllable. Get the lab back online before first period.
Punch in your real numbers. The calculator updates as you type. Default values modeled on a 1,000-machine MSP doing 200 site visits per year.

One DGBrain ATX Power Switch ships with all the cabling required to deploy across a 10-PC fleet on day one. Spare cable kits available separately.
Windows 10/11 · .NET Framework 4.8 · USB-A 2.0 or higher · One free USB port · DGBrain web portal account (sold separately, included with first order)
Any motherboard with a standard ATX 2-pin power controller. For non-standard boards, a low-voltage quick-splice connector provides a workaround. Splitter cable taps the "Power SW" pin — no soldering required.

We're a verified seller on Amazon (where the DGBrain ATX Power Switch maintains a 5-star rating) and Walmart Marketplace. Our wholesale channel exists because we believe MSPs, mining operators, and IT teams shouldn't have to pay Amazon's retail markup on bulk orders — and shouldn't have to fight a chatbot when something goes wrong.

Most IT teams spend their first call asking us to ship one demo unit — we drop it in the mail the same day. Decide after you've put it on a real kernel panic.
