1 Introduction

1-bay NAS Dock
  • The 1-bay NAS Dock is an expansion board which can be used to connect an external hard disk to a FriendlyElec’s NanoPi NEO. Together with FriendlyElec's customized aluminum case and NanoPi NEO you can quickly assemble a storage server.
  • It uses JM20329 USB2SATA IC and communicates with a NanoPi NEO via USB interface.
  • It works with a 2.5" SATA hard disk.
  • It uses TI’s DC-DC chipset to convert a 12V input to 5V. It has a power switch for users to turn on/off the device.
  • Its dual-color LED can indicate a connected hard disk's status. When the LED is green it means the power is on. When it is red-blinking it means the connected hard disk is reading/writing.Warning: when the status LED is red-blinking do NOT shut down the power or plug/unplug the power.
