## Boot Modes
|
||||
|
||||
Helios4 supports 4 boot modes that can be chosen by using the dipswitch SW1.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
All the ready-to-use images we provide are for the **SD Card** boot mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to [U-boot](/helios4/uboot) section to know how to use the other modes.
|
||||
|
||||
## LED indicators
|
||||

||||
---|---|---
|
||||
LED1|green|System heartbeat
|
||||
LED2|red|Error status
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Helios4 board was designed to either use the on-board LEDs or use an expansion panel (not-available). To use the on-board LEDs insure to switch to ON the dipswitch SW2.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Reset Button
|
||||
|
||||
Helios4 board provides a RESET push button (U16) to hard reset the SoC (System-On-Chip).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
!!! Important
|
||||
This button only resets the SoC and not the overall board. For instance it won't reset the HDD.
|
||||
|
||||
## I2C Interface
|
||||
|
||||
Helios4 board exposes on header J9 the SoC I2C Bus 1. Below is the header pin-out, the little arrow on the PCB indicates the ground pin.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Power Consumption
|
||||
|
||||
**Board only**
|
||||
|
||||
* Idle : 3.6 Watts
|
||||
* Active : 5.6 Watts
|
||||
|
||||
**Full Kit (with 4x HDDs)**
|
||||
|
||||
| State | AC calculated<br>power consumption | DC measured<br>power consumption | Remarks |
|
||||
|---------------------|----------------------|----------------------|---------------------|
|
||||
| Idle | 19.3 W | 16.8 W | |
|
||||
| HDD Read Access | 27.4 W | 22.8 W | |
|
||||
| HDD Write Access | 30.3 W | 25.2 W | |
|
||||
| Standby | 8.0 W | 6.7 W | HDD in Standby mode |
|
||||
| Suspend-to-Ram | 7.2 W | 6.0 W | HDD in Standby mode |
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
Measures were done using a Current Clamp Meter on the Helios4 12V DC input. AC Power consumption is calculated based on a AC/DC conversion efficiency of 85%.
|
||||
|
||||
* Meter tool : Extech 380942 - 30A True RMS AC/DC Mini Clamp
|
||||
* AC/DC Adapter : yczx1268 (efficiency : 85%)
|
||||
* AC Input Voltage: 220V
|
||||
* HDD: 4x WD Red 2TB (WD20EFRX) configured as RAID10
|
||||
* Network : Connected at 1000Mb/s
|
||||
* OS: ARMBIAN 5.73 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.98-mvebu

## HDD Recommendation List
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend HDD which are designed for NAS (Network Attached Storage). Those NAS HDD are specially conceived for reliable 24/7 operation and offers lower power consumption and dissipation, less vibration and noise, and finally better warranty. We recommend the following models :
|
||||
|
||||
**Western Digital** : WD Red NAS (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10TB)
|
||||
|
||||
- WD10EFRX
|
||||
- WD20EFRX
|
||||
- WD30EFRX
|
||||
- WD40EFRX
|
||||
- WD60EFRX
|
||||
- WD80EFZX
|
||||
- WD100EFAX
|
||||
|
||||
**Seagate** : IronWolf NAS (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10TB)
|
||||
|
||||
- ST1000VN002
|
||||
- ST2000VN004
|
||||
- ST3000VN007
|
||||
- ST4000VN008
|
||||
- ST6000VN0041
|
||||
- ST8000VN0022
|
||||
- ST10000VN0004
|
||||
|
||||
**HGST** : Deskstar NAS (4, 6 and 8TB)
|
||||
|
||||
- 0S04005
|
||||
- 0S04007
|
||||
- 0S04012
|
||||
|
||||
!!! note
|
||||
We recommend to order from different shop to avoid having all the drives from the same factory batch. For instance, you should order 2x HDDs from one shop, then the 2 others from another shop.
|
||||
|
||||
## HDD / SSD Compability List
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to [Synology DS416j Compatibility List](https://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS416j&category=hdds&p=1) that covers a large number of tested drives. The DS416j used the same SoC family than Helios4.
