Forgot to post this last year when I powered it on, but I figure with ~260days of uptime, I should get on it.

Table Prep
Test Fit
Printed a caddy to hold 2 SSD (cache and unpack drive) in a single slot
Loaded it up 4 data drives + cache and unpack to start
Turns out either 1 DIMM is bad or the fan is making contact and causing issues, so instead of a full compliment I’m running down a pair
And last but not least - flashed everything to get it into the right state to start it up
And - time of load into the rack (it’s a bit more cluttered now…)
And at time of posting
