Changelog

What changed in each release of these docs. The current version is shown in the top bar.

Version numbers follow this pattern: a major version (2.0) for a restructure, a minor version (1.4) when hardware, software or procedures change what you do, and a patch version (1.4.1) for corrections.

2.0.0 (November 11, 2026)​

The docs are restructured around what you're doing, in about 20 pages instead of 46.

Structure​

  • Start Here, then three sections: Deploy (nine steps in order, from site check to HiveSight), Operate and Reference.
  • Edition tabs: pick NUC PRO or HR-01-2 once and every page follows it. Links can preselect an edition with ?edition=nuc or ?edition=hr01.
  • Videos: the Quick Start videos open inside the matching steps.
  • Old links keep working: every 1.x URL redirects to its new page.
  • Merged: getting started, positioning and safety into Before You Start; unboxing and both box-contents pages into Unbox and Inspect; lids and legs into Set Up the Case; gateway and mast into one page; power connection and first power-on into Power On; cooling, lighting and drawers into one page; network overview and wiring diagrams into Ports and Addresses.
  • Removed: the Identify Your Edition section, the Proxmox, Scale and Harvester pages (now one line in the HCI table), and the copied EnGenius manual content (replaced with links).
  • New: Uplink and Internet, NodeWeaver, Troubleshooting by symptom, Support and Warranty, Shut Down and Pack Up with storage and routine care.
  • Product name is P-EDC throughout.
  • Network diagrams redrawn for both editions.
  • Partner installation pages are no longer part of the public guide; old links lead to a contact page.

HiveSight​

  • Addresses: DHCP first, then the unit's own 169.254 fallback (on the Access & Configuration Sheet). Name: hiveradar-edc-<serial6>.local.
  • Setup wizard now starts with the licence step.
  • Per-vendor connection details for StorMagic, NodeWeaver, Scale and Proxmox, and what each shows.
  • StorMagic witness: Settings > Add-ons, TCP 4174, manual address across subnets.
  • Updates need internet, take up to 30 minutes and roll back on failure.
  • Ports HiveSight listens on.

Network​

  • Mako 5600 as shipped: LAN 1 at 10.0.0.1/24, DHCP 10.0.0.100-200, no SIM or APN.
  • Pre-installed HCI: node data ports set to a tagged VLAN (802.1Q) trunk.
  • What needs internet, per feature.

1.4.0 (November 9, 2026)​

Corrections and cleanup ahead of the 2.0 restructure.

Changed procedures​

  • Power on: after plugging in, wait about 60 seconds for the PDU to boot, then press and hold the PDU power button; the outlets switch on one at a time. Compute nodes now start automatically. A new Powering Off section covers the reverse.
  • Mako 5600 gateway: powered through the included PoE splitter from switch port 8 (splitter to Mako LAN 1 and DC port). The two-cable method is now a fallback only.
  • Gateway timing: we recommend mounting and connecting the gateway before powering on.
  • Telescopic pole: twist clockwise to lock and counter-clockwise to unlock. The extension pole screws into the EDC first, with the main pole on top.
  • Unboxing: matches the current packaging: open the top of the box and lift the carry case out with two people.
  • Transport locks: 2 on the front compute drawer and 4 on the rear storage drawers (2 single-hole, 2 double-hole). The hex key is in the instruction pouch under the rear lid. Refit the locks for courier shipping or long-distance moves.
  • Mako 5600 mounting: uses the mount clip from the accessory pouch. The HiveRadar cellular gateway uses its own pole adaptor.
  • Finding IP addresses: the EDC has no DHCP server of its own. Use your gateway's or site network's DHCP lease list instead of the switch.
  • Short moves while running: allowed if the cables reach, moving slowly with two people.

Corrected facts​

  • Compute nodes ship installed and tested on every edition, including NUC PRO.
  • Weights and dimensions: NUC PRO 92.7 lb, HR-01-2 87 lb, about 110 lb in the box. Closed size 24 × 22 × 10.5 in.
  • Lids: named as printed inside them. Lid 1 holds the work surface, EDC support legs and extension pole; Lid 2 is the bench with the bench legs.
  • Legs and mast: EDC legs are fixed height (10.6 in), horizontal deployment only. The main pole is 4-section. Measured pole lengths added; up to 8.4 ft from the ground fully deployed.
  • Accessory pouch: contents list updated, with gateway-specific items marked. SFP+ transceivers are normally pre-installed.
  • EnergyBar LED power module: listed in the lids, with the airline check-in note.
  • Switches: standard ECS2510FP (8 × 2.5GbE + 2 × 10G SFP+) or upgraded ECS5512FP (8 × 10GbE + 4 × 10G SFP+), available on all editions with the same cabling.
  • PDU: region-specific (100-120 V or 200-240 V), with a detachable cord into a C13 inlet. North America uses NEMA 5-15P, International uses Schuko by default.
  • Cooling: fans sit at the back of the top rear drawer and start at about 25 °C. The profile is set with a 3-position switch labelled Eco, Turbo and Balanced. Keep the top drawer clear while running, and close it promptly: pulling it far out stops the fans.
  • Drawer and LED power: drawers are powered through their rails. Interior lighting covers the compute and storage racks and drawers; exterior lighting is the HiveRadar logo plate.
  • Airflow: front to rear only, no side vents.
  • Starlink Mini: stored in the lower rear drawer on NUC PRO only. The HR-01-2 uses the optional Starlink backpack.
  • Port maps: NUC PRO: switch port 7 is the HiveSight SBC, port 9 the PDU. HR-01-2: port 3 is the HiveSight SBC, port 4 the PDU, ports 9-10 the nodes' 10G links. On both, port 8 is the gateway or site uplink.
  • Batteries: referred to as HiveRadar Off-Grid.
  • Support: contact your partner or distributor first. HiveRadar support hours are 9 am to 5 pm Eastern.
  • HCI platforms: HiveRadar is authorized to pre-image StorMagic SvHCI and NodeWeaver. Proxmox VE, Scale Computing HC3 and Harvester are validated to run, but not supported by HiveRadar.
  • Logins: initial addresses and logins are on the Access & Configuration Sheet (in the envelope and by email). Switch and PDU logins are changed at the factory; EnGenius defaults only apply after a reset.
  • PoE: all RJ45 switch ports supply PoE by default; port 8 is recommended for the gateway or site uplink.
  • Top drawer: keep it empty while running, including the accessory pouch.
  • Shipping damage: note visible damage on the delivery receipt, report concealed damage within 5 business days, keep the packaging.
  • Extension cords: avoid them; if needed, grounded heavy-duty, at least 15 A (NA) or 10 A (INT), never chained.

HiveSight​

  • The monitoring dashboard is now called HiveSight throughout (previously "EDC Health Monitor"), running on the HiveSight SBC.
  • HiveSight can be set up to monitor Proxmox, StorMagic, Scale Computing and NodeWeaver clusters. The connection has to be configured and confirmed; it is not automatic.
  • The StorMagic witness is enabled by default when HiveRadar pre-installs StorMagic, or as an add-on in HiveSight.
  • UPS connection is through the USB-C port on the keystone panel.

Removed​

  • HR-01-4 edition (postponed).
  • NUC node installation pages, moved out of the public guide for partner use.
  • Placeholder image notes, internal "TBD" notes and "Read Time" badges.

Site​

  • Cleaner, more professional layout: decorative emojis and icons removed; warnings now use standard callout boxes.
  • Search added (runs locally, no external service).
  • Light mode can now be selected. Dark stays the default.
