Overview
The X1012 NVMe+POE shield is specifically designed to offer a reliable power source and enhance storage capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 5.
POE (Power Over Ethernet) refers to the ability to provide DC power for IP-based network devices while transmitting data signals at the same time without affecting the standard Ethernet cabling infrastructure.
With its sleek and compact design, this shield allows for easy attachment of various M.2 SSD lengths (including 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230) to your Raspberry Pi 5. It supports booting the operating system from your SSD, leading to quicker application launches, web serving, and file copying.
After the Raspberry Pi AI Kit launched, we put four PiPs (X1001, X1004, X1011, M901) through testing; only X1011 does not support the Hailo-8 AI accelerator.
It should be noted that X1004 uses ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe switch, and X1011 uses ASM1184e, they can't support PCIe Gen 3 speed, so even though we forced to enable PCIe Gen 3.0 setting in Raspberry Pi 5, it is limited by ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe switch, and speed is still PCIe Gen 2.0 5Gbps speed. when you use an hailo-8 ai accelerator, Raspberry Pi Fundation highly recommends using PCIe 3.0 to achieve best performance with your AI Kit.
Our tentative conclusions are as follows:
- If you need to use hailo-8 ai accelerator with high performance, it is recommended to use X1001/X1015/X1003/M901/ the official M.2 HAT+ etc. When choosing these PIP boards, you should focus on whether there is a conflict between the camera cable and the PIP board installation, and enable PCIe3.0 to use hailo-8 ai accelerator. At the same time, you need to prepare an SD card as the system disk.
- If you don't care about the high performance brought by PCIe 3.0, then you can consider using X1004, so that you can use any socket of X1004 to install NVME SSD as the system disk, and another socket to install hailo-8 ai accelerator, so as to have both.

Caution:
- The Matching Case section only indicates compatibility between the case, PCIe Peripheral Board and Raspberry Pi 5 Board, and excludes products in the Product Matching Reference section. Compatibility of these referenced products with the case is subject to their actual specifications.
- In addition to voltage and current, ensure that the total power of the power supply meets or exceeds the recommended input power (Total Power = Voltage x Current).

🚫NVMe SSD Incompatibility List
Whether an SSD is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 does not depend on the X10XX series boards. We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSDs equipped with a Phison controller, as they have been proven to have compatibility issues. You can run the "lspci" command to check the controller brand of your SSD.
- WD Blue SN550 (Solved! Refer to 🔗 New rpi-eeprom-update 2024-01-24 WD Blue SN550 nvme works now.)
- WD Green SN350 (Solved! Refer to 🔗NVMe_SSD_boot_with_the_Raspberry_Pi_5#comment-4602)
- WD Blue SN580
- WD Blue SN5000
- WD Black SN850
- WD Black SN770
- WD SN740
- WD SN810
- Inland tn446 nvme drive
- Corsair MP600 SSD
- Kingston NV3 NVME
- fanxiang S500 Pro with Maxio MAP1202 controller
- Micron 2450 SSD (Detected, but cannot boot from NVMe)
- Micron 2200 256GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 x4, Model: MTFDHBA256TCH (Detected, but cannot boot from NVMe)
- Other NVMe SSD drivers equipped with the same Phison controller
- SSDs equipped with the MAP1202 controller: Not backward compatible with PCIe Gen 2, causing compatibility issues. Not recommended for use. Reference 🔗 https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/644984347
💡Customer Feedback:
- The Polaris controller may also have compatibility issues. If it does not work, please try a different SSD for testing.
- Some NVMe SSDs with Phison controllers have been reported to work after updating to the latest firmware. Refer to 🔗:X1001#comment-4638
✅ Other Incompatibility Notes:
- Incorrect SSD interface: NOT compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, other non-NVMe M.2 devices.
- Older NVMe drives: Use less efficient flash media and may not perform as well as newer drives.
- SSD is not partitioned: A brand new SSD must be partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before it can be accessed in the file explorer.

Matching Case
X1012 is compatible with P579-V2 case, though the case doesn't reserved port for the DC power of X1012. Because X1012 support POE, and DC jack is just an auxiliary power jack that non-essential.
User Manual
Hardware Installation
How to make it work
You need to do some configuration based on the current OS before the SSD can work, which is a basic requirement for RPi 5.
- Enable PCIe to make nvme ssd work, please refer to NVMe SSD boot with the Raspberry Pi 5
- Run the following command to tell the Pi that the X1012 POE is capable of 5A, so the USB current will get the full 1.6A
sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e
- Add
PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000at the end of the file that reads like this:
- Press Ctrl-O, then enter, to write the change to the file.
- Press Ctrl-X to exit nano (the editor).
- Reboot your Raspberry Pi 5 to make the change take effect.

FAQ
A: Yes, the H502 brass heatsink is compatible with the X1012. However, you will need an additional 4pcs M2.5×12+3 mm spacers to install it between the X1012 and the H502 heatsink.
