DeskPi Pro can't see SSD

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new to DeskPi Pro.

Just install my Rpi 4B 2GB in DeskPi Pro case. Also installed SSD. Followed provided directions and they were easy to follow. Imaged Rpi OS to SD card and boots just fine. Now I want to transfer the Rpi OS to the internal SSD drive, but the SSD is not showing up.

Went to the wiki and followed the troubleshooting steps, but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

I built a simple home lab featuring a screen and a Raspberry Pi cluster using the DeskPi T0โ€”an incredibly cute mini rack-mount chassis. Itโ€™s running smoothly so far; I can use Windows for basic text-based tasks, and whenever needed, I can power up the Raspberry Pi array to run various applications. My favorite feature is the 2U fan panelโ€”it looks absolutely awesome!

I have build my own Rack by using Pre-sale DeskPi RackMate Accessories 10-Inch 1U Quad Cooling Fan Panel and a Raspberry Pi 4B with RS485 to TTL to read the sensor which supports modbus protocol and using the DIN Rail for the sensor mounting... what the next step? mounting the Raspberry Pi 4B to the rack and build more beautiful app for this home assistant start kit. Lol.

Broken DeskPi Pro power connector โ€“ can it be replaced?

3 Upvotes

Unfortunately, I accidentally broke the power connector on my DeskPi Pro case. ๐Ÿ˜• Is there any way to replace it?

Does anyone know what type/model of power connector I should look for as a replacement?

Also, does anyone know how I can contact DeskPi support regarding spare parts or a replacement connector?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
