NOTE: Some GPU's use the PCI-e slot for power and don't need a cable. If your Thelio is
configured with a Radeon RX 550 graphics card, for example, you will not find any power
connectors in your GPU. The cards compatible with this Thelio model require 8-pin, 12
pin or 16-pin power cable connections.
Fig. 30: Showing variations of pin connections on GPU cards - 8-pin (left), 12-pin (middle), 16-pin (right).
8. Once the GPU is connected and the power cables secured, replace the Top Case,
reconnect external power cable.
9. Turn the power supply switch at the rear of the machine to the “on” position.
Drives (Remove or replace)
2.5” SATA Drives
The thelio B1 provides four (4) slots for 2.5” SATA drives. They are
housed in the Thelio Drive Cage for easy access. Each drive is
connected to a SATA port on the Thelio IO board, which acts as a
conduit, connecting the drives to the motherboard.
M.2 Drives
The Thelio B1 has two M.2 drive slots. One on the inside of the board,
above the PCIe slot which holds the GPU, and one on the back of the
unit on the outside of the board (pictured above).
The internal M.2 storage drive is situated somewhat behind the GPU in the chassis. If you install
an M.2 drive in this slot, you may need to remove the GPU beforehand to free up space. You
can find video instructions on this process here. If your Thelio has only one M.2 drive, or do not
have a GPU installed. You can simply unscrew the M.2 drive from the chassis, without needing
to remove a GPU.
