==Power supply==
Power supply: 5Vdc +/-5% , ≥4A (Via Type-C Port of X-C2)
We recommend that you use our 20W 5V 4A Type-C power adapter [[USB C PSU]].
Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J856PND
A： If We recommend that you have a Raspberry Pi 4 and are getting bad speeds transferring data to/from USB3.0 SSDs, read this https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=245931 Q2. Will the Alu case affect the WIFI? A: As use our test, 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 of 5G WIFI AP: https://youtu20W 5V 4A Type-C power adapter [[USB C PSU]].be/LKJVIBQFYXs
Q3Amazon DE: <span style="colorhttps:red;">What is the thickness of a 2.5" HDD/SSD that can be accommodated?</span> A: The thickness of 2www.5" HDD/SSD on the market is generally 7mm, 9amazon.5mm, 12.5 and 15mm，You only can choose <span style="color:red;">7mm or 9.5mm</span> thickness HDDde/SSD, NASPi Lite is not compatible with 12.5mm and 15mm thickness 2.5" HDDdp/SSD.The thickness of 2.5" HDD/SSD should not exceed 9.8mm. In fact, most 2.5" HDD/SSD on the market are only 7mm thick. Q4: <span style="color:red;">How to find and use the Raspberry Pi 4 5G wifi?</span> A: Please refer to: [[Raspberry pi 4 can't find 5ghz wifi]] Q5: What is the read/write performance when used as a NAS? 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. Q6: Does the NASPi Lite support PoE? 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.B09J4V3RYK
===Some Tips===
* X-C2 provides power management and interface adapter function but not support software shutdown.
* For the heat dissipation system, we chose a relatively simple and practical heat dissipation solution: a custom metal bracket and a 4010 2pin cooling fan to achieve it.
<span style="color:red;">'''Note:''' The X-C2 adapter must be connected with load to operate the normal power on/off.</span>

==Features==
* <span style="color:red;">Press button switch and hold for 3 seconds to force shutdown</span>
* <span style="color:red;">DO NOT</span> support software shutdown
* <span style="color:red;">DO NOT</span> support auto power on function
