So the parts arrived for my mini Hyper-V project<\/a>. I have to say I'm really excited about this. Everything is so tiny! Here's what I have to work with.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6521\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have the Brix unit, a 256GB mSATA drive, 16GB of RAM and a video adapter. The Brix unit is amazingly small and fits in the palm of your hand. As you can see, it is not much bigger than a CD-ROM. Oh, and that white spot is actually a reflection from the ceiling light. The only thing on the top, aside from the label is a power button which will glow blue when on.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6522\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a single USB port on the front. Here's the business end. Sorry it is a little out of focus but I think you get the idea.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6523\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now to start assembling. All I need is a small phillips-head screwdriver. Turning the unit over there are 4 corner screws. In the upper right there is also a small knob. Turns out when you unscrew everything you use it as a handle of sorts to remove the bottom. Very nice. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6524\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The internals are pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6525\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The slots at the top are for memory and the mSATA goes in the bottom. You slide it in to the slot.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6526\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It doesn't lie flat. You need to screw it down.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6527\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though the drive has holes for 2 screws, the Brix only has one, but it seems to get the job done. Next, I slide in the memory. This is easier to do if you insert the stick that will be on the bottom. The sticks slide in and then lock into place.<\/p>\n

Here's the finished install.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6529\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All that remains is to screw the bottom back on. Here I ran into my first minor gotcha. The unit isn't an exact square so the back can only go on a few ways. But it seemed to me that one way fit better. The bottom has a \"This Side Up\" label. I think the right way is to have that label pointing to the \"back\" ports. The Brix is designed to be mounted (it includes a mounting plate), but since I'm not going to do that I think I'm ok.<\/p>\n

I hooked up the power and fired it up.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6530\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow. Other than the blue light on the power button there is no indication that the unit is running. There is a fan, but it is impossible to hear. And of course the mSATA is silent. It is stunningly quiet. I can't wait to get this bad boy loaded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
