SSDs vary in the power they dissipate. fitlet thermal envelope is quite tight due to its small size and fanless operation, so high temperature of an internal heat-dissipating component is to be expected. However, SSDs are very temperature tolerant so the reported temperature is not expected to affect reliability.

Hardware

Which power supplies can power the fitlet?

fitlet bundle comes with external AC/DC wall power supply, providing unregulated 10–15Vdc input voltage range, 12Vdc nominal. However, any power supply able to supply ~36W from 12Vdc source will be fine.

What are power capabilities of fitlet USB ports?

USB ports VBUS (5V) pair supplied via onboard power switch with current limit set to 2.3A, which means either each USB port capable sourcing up to 1.15A in case two bus powered devices are connected, or sourcing 2.3A in case single bus powered device is connected.

My SSD inside fitlet reports high temperature. Is it normal?

SSDs vary in the power they dissipate. fitlet thermal envelope is quite tight due to its small size and fanless operation, so high temperature of an internal heat-dissipating component is to be expected. However, SSDs are very temperature tolerant so the reported temperature is not expected to affect reliability.

Software

Does FreeBSD run on fitlet?

FreeBSD works for servers purposes, i.e. in command line mode only, without GUI.

Does fitlet support pfSense?

pfSense is supported and works great on the fitlet.

What are the supported boot modes?

Both UEFI and Legacy boot modes are supported.
