Today I managed to find some time to continue with the 12CP NAS project. Since my last post I have received the RockPro64, which I had ordered. Now with this board fitted to the enclosure it’s time to power up for the first time.
Using the existing power supply with its (non-standard) ATX connector I directly power the RockPro64 board located in the left half of the tray. A small stub of Ethernet cable connects its Ethernet port with the new port on the back of the enclosure. For this initial test I have plugged in a USB keyboard and a screen via HDMI. Turns out everything is working out of the box, Debian Stretch 64-bit with pre-installed OpenMediaVault is working and I can log on directly on the console as well as via the web-based GUI over the network!
