Hardware
In the original design, the cooler size was planned for an SoC mainboard with a passive cooler, which is no longer sufficient for us here. So once again into the CAD program of choice and made some adjustments regarding the support of higher air coolers.
The front, lid, back and bottom have to be reprinted for this, but the rest is still compatible. This 15mm extra space gives us enough room on the motherboard for a low-profile cooler such as the Noctua NH-L9.

Joining them is a Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz and an MSI B550i Edge WiFi from my ITX gaming PC. Not necessarily what you would normally find in a server, but it still works after a few adjustments. More about this later in the setup.
The proud theoretical total capacity of 32TB of storage is provided by Toshiba in the form of 4x 8TB NAS N300. Such a protection for shipping I would always wish for hard drives, I see private or business but unfortunately very rarely.

So, once again, a big thank you to the German representation of Toshiba, who sent me a few hard drives directly from their test lab. So to speak already pretested, otherwise you pay extra for!
But all kidding aside, in my experience, hard drives either die in hour 1 or from hour 10,000. So, in fact, some “burn-in” after unboxing is a good idea before the actual data is stored on it.
Since I am using a Ryzen CPU without an integrated graphics unit here, the installation is done with a temporarily installed dedicated graphics card outside the case.
The rest of the hardware remains identical, except for this small “in-place” upgrade and an M.2 NVMe SSD. In the coming pages, we will now turn our attention to the installation and setup of TrueNAS Core.
