2. Opsætningsvejledning

2.1 Pakkens indhold

Før du begynder monteringen, skal du kontrollere, at alle nedenstående komponenter er til stede i din pakke:

• 1 x X1100 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Shield with accessories
• 1 x X1100-C1 Metal Case with Screws
• 1 x Active Cooler H505
• 1 x PD27W Power Supply (US Plug)
• Note: Raspberry Pi 5 board and SSD/HDD are NOT included.

2.2 Monteringsvejledning

Follow these steps to assemble your Geekworm X1100 kit with Raspberry Pi 5:

1. Forbered Raspberry Pi 5: Ensure your Raspberry Pi 5 is powered off and disconnected from any peripherals.
2. Install the X1100 SATA Shield: Carefully align the X1100 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Shield with the GPIO pins and mounting holes on your Raspberry Pi 5. Gently press down to secure the shield. Use the provided standoffs and screws to fasten the shield to the Raspberry Pi 5 board.
3. Connect the 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD: Insert your 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) into the SATA connector on the X1100 shield. Ensure it is firmly seated. The X1100 supports up to 5TB 2.5-inch SATA drives.

3. Betjeningsvejledning

3.1 Tænd

Once all components are assembled and the PD27W Power Supply is connected, the Raspberry Pi 5 will power on. Ensure your operating system (typically Linux-based) is properly configured to recognize and mount the connected 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD.

3.2 Storage Access

The X1100 shield provides a USB 3.0 interface for the connected SATA drive. After booting your Raspberry Pi 5, the attached HDD/SSD should be accessible as a standard storage device. You may need to format and partition the drive if it is new or contains incompatible data.

4. Vedligeholdelse

4.1 Kølesystem

The Active Cooler H505 is designed to dissipate heat from the Raspberry Pi 5, ensuring stable performance. Regularly check that the fan is free from dust and debris to maintain optimal airflow. If necessary, gently clean the fan blades and heatsink fins with compressed air or a soft brush.

4.2 Generel pleje

To ensure the longevity of your X1100 kit and Raspberry Pi 5, keep the device in a clean, dry environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight. Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the X1100-C1 metal case.

5. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues during setup or operation, please refer to the official Geekworm Wiki for detailed troubleshooting guides and frequently asked questions. Søg efter "X1100" on the Geekworm Wiki to find relevant installation and support information.

Common issues may include:

• Drev ikke fundet: Ensure the SATA drive is properly seated and the Raspberry Pi 5's operating system is configured to recognize USB storage devices. Check power supply.
• Strømproblemer: Verify the PD27W power supply is correctly connected and providing sufficient power (5Vdc +/-5% 1.3A).
• Overophedning: Ensure the active cooler fan is spinning and not obstructed.
