I assume that panel is drive status and activity lights. The last one I ordered came with one, but I didn't test it out yet. Maybe I should just out of curiosity.Just got my power cables today and am hoping to adapt them and then convert one of my FreeNAS boxes to a FreeDAS (hehe) in the next week or so. Has anyone hooked up the blinkenlichtmachinen panel to see what it does?
@Dave Corder what 20mm fans are you trying?

I'm going with these fans: NEW SUNON 20 x 20 x 10MM COOLING FAN GM0501PFB3-8 CK0341 8J290 5V DC 0.2W | eBay and I'll find some screws at the hardware store to screw in between the heatsink fins (hopefully). I'll probably put on some fresh thermal paste while I'm at it.
