Helios64 Enclosure
The official Helios64 enclosure comes with a specially designed front panel that connects to the 24-Pin header (P3) and USB 3.0 Port (J1). This front panel exposes all the LEDS and Buttons required to operate the Helios64 NAS along with an USB 3.0 port for data loading / offloading.
PCB Details
- All switches are push buttons.
- All Error LEDs are red while Status / Activity LEDs are blue.
- USB 3.0 Port is provided by a USB 3.0 Type A Female to Male extension cable.
PCB Wiring
The Helios64 Front Panel is already mounted with the USB 3.0 extension cable and with a ribbon cable + header snapped to the ICD connector (P1).
The wiring between Helios64 main board and the front panel is illustrated in figure below:
!!! Warning Please be careful with the 24-Pin header polarity. Make sure that Pin 1 of main board P3 header is connected to the Pin 1 of front panel P1 ICD connector.
