ASU-II or ASU-III and ASU Lite

The ASU’s has a disk bay for 2 separate SSD units, Solid state drives, (or HDD units (Hard disk drives). They are located behind a cover in the front.

Note:

SW RAID is supported on ASU-II/ASU-III.

Close to the LED near the LAN-ports, there is a hole for performing reset/ software shout down.

The ASU’s has a battery for real time clock. This battery is located just behind the board for the SATA drives connection.

Note:

If the ASU-III server is running ESXi 6.7 or later and the board is powered up without a monitor connected and a monitor needs to be connected afterwards, this will not work as no VGA signal will be available. VGA signal is only available if the monitor is connected during boot. The only way to connect the monitor in this case is to reboot the board while having the monitor connected.

With normal use and when the network is working properly it should not be necessary to have a monitor connected to the ASU-III as most tasks can be performed via a browser.
