==How to Power==
* Power supply: 12Vdc +/-5% , ≥5A≥3A, via DC 12V IN Port of X885, recommend to [[PSU60 | Geekworm DC5521 12V/5A Power adapter US/EU plug]]
* Ports & Connectors: DC jack - 5.5x2.1mm
'''Important Note: Please use high quality power adapter, the low quality PSU may damage the X885 board and not recognized the HDD.'''
<span class="tb_red ">Warning about power supply:</span>
# Don't use that adjustable voltage power supply.
# Don't use the same power supply used on LED strips.
The above two are absolute garbage power supply, can not be used!!!

* Older SSD/HDD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives.
* A microSD card is required for forceing the Raspbian OS to use the HDD/SSD for its "root" partition

=== Raid Setting=FAQ==Please read [[Raid Instruction]] firstly. You can freely choose the four RAID modes supported by NASPi Gemini by setting the jumper cap. Strongly recommend to use Q1: What is the same brand and capacity HDDs when use RAID Mode.max hard disk's limit?
＊'''Warning''' A: Please backup your data before setup and switchIn theory, otherwise you maybe lost your datathere is no limit to the HDD capacity for NASPi Gemini 3.5, but related with the operation system. And the engineer only test it with max 10TB HDD, so we write 10TB in the product information,
1. Inert HDDs to X885 shield and fix it.
2. Please connect the X885 to your PC or Raspberry Pi board and '''keep power on'''.Q2: Why only one SSD/HDD is recognized?
3. Switch RAID mode* Set A: You found only SSD/HDD if you select the switch button to your preferred RAID mode(PM/RAID 0RAID0/RAID 1/SPAN) as per the RAID illustration table.* Press the '''SET''' button for about '''5 seconds''', and release it till the blue LED indicators starts flashing.* After RAID RAID1 mode changed, please confirm that the PC can recognize the disk(s) properly and shows the right capacity.
or you can run Please '''exit the fdisk -l command to view RAID mode''' and check again after '''entering the hard drive on raspberry pi OS when you connect X882 to raspberry pi board: fdisk -lYou can found two hard drives if you select 'PM mode(clear raid mode)''(this is PM model)'.
or More details please refer to '''Set CLEAR RAID mode''' of [[How to Configure RAID Setting]
You found only one hard drive if you select the RAID0/RAID1 model
4Q3: Does the X885(NASPi Gemini 3. Set CLEAR RAID mode (PM, factory default setup5) * Press the SET button for about support one 2.5 seconds then " SSD and release it till blue LED indicators starts flashing.* After above processes, the setup for CLEAR RAID is doneone 3.5" HDD?
[NOTE] Once you set the RAID mode successfullyA: It is not recommend, but if you need to partition&format&mount the hdd/ssduse one 2.5" SSD and one 3.5" HDD, so that it can only be recognized by your Raspberry Pi OSused in the '''PM''' mode, not support RAID. please refer to [[How to View/Partition/Format/Mount HDD/SSD]]
==FAQ==
Q1: What is the max hard disk's limit?
A: In theory, there is no limit to the HDD capacity for NASPi Gemini 3.5, but related with the operation system. And the engineer only test it with max 10TB HDD, so we write 10TB in the product information,
