And on the rear you can find the Power port,2usb ports,HDMI port,RJ45 port,and the locking point.
The first thing i did after connecting it up to the tv was to boot in to Umbutu Thats pre-installed on the M.2 SSD,
The first boot took a bit longer but its now booting into Ubuntu between 15/20s.
Some internal photos
After i had finished playing around with Ubuntu i fitted a 2.5" SSD AND installed windows 10 on it,Very easy to do if you have a copy of win 10 to hand.
That install went without issue,I then installed the drivers in the driver pack here Driver pack
I installed the drivers one by one rebooting after each one so all that took a while to compleate but again a very simple process.
And wow im impressed with everything.
The boot time on the v2 is very fast at around 15 seconds to complete & 3/4 seconds to shut down.
The in built temperature controlled fan is doing a great job of keeping the V2 cool the Fan does not run all the time it kicks in if and when it is needed at different speeds and in most cases its only one for a minuite or so,The fan is very quite indeed most of the time i did not even notice it was running.
To boot into the Bios you press f2
To boot into the boot Menu press f10
