A==How to Power==Power supply: As our test5Vdc +/-5% , 2.4G WIFI AP was usable. But different Raspberry Pi individuals have different degrees of WIFI interference. As well as aluminum alloy case will interfere with pi 4’s WIFI to a certain extent. So it is strongly recommend to use Ethernet or 5G AP. You can refer to video test ≥4A (Via Type-C Port of 5G WIFI AP: https://youtu.be/LKJVIBQFYXsX-C1)

{{#ev<details><summary>Q. How to make the PWM cooling fan running?</summary>A. You will need to install the shell script to make the cooling fan run, please refer to: <a href="/X-C1_Software" title="X-C1 Software">X-C1_Software</a><br>We can manually run the following commands:<pre>sudo python /home/pi/x-c1/fan-rpi.py &amp;</pre>or<br><pre>sudo python3 /home/pi/x-c1/fan-rpi.py &amp;</pre>Then the pwm fan will start working.</details> <details><summary>Q. <span style="color:red">How to find and use the Raspberry Pi 4 5G wifi?</span></summary>A.

Does the PWM cooling fan running or not?</summary>A. 1. The fan is very silent, and it is not easy to hear the sound of the fan;<br>2. The fan is a PWM fan which dynamically adjusts the speed according to the temperature of the CPU. If the temperature of the CPU is low, the speed of the fan is extremely low, and it is not easy to hear the sound of the fan;<br>3. Only when the CPU temperature reaches 65 degrees or more, the fan will run at full speed, and you may be able to hear the sound of the fan;<br>4. The fan is controlled by the PWM signal. The fan will only run after the ‘python /home/pi/x-c1/fan.py&amp;’ command runs successfully; you can run the following command to check whether the fan is running; sudo jobs</details> <details><summary>Q. What is the read/write performance when used as a NAS?</summary>A. The read and write performance is determined by the speed of the Raspberry Pi’s USB 3 bus and SSD. It should be noted that the Raspberry Pi’s USB3 bandwidth is only 3Gbps. Normally, the R/W speed is about 300MB/S.</details> <details><summary>Q. Does the NASPi support PoE?</summary>A. According to the customer feedback(based on 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-arm64-lite), the NASPi is OK to use with PoE splitter, but make sure to use high quality PoE splitter, or the power maybe not enough to power the NASPi kit.</details> <details><summary>Q. Can the PWM fan in NASPi be replaced by other fan like noctua 5v 40mm 3-pin pwm fan?</summary>A.
