 Some other notes:
 - The Fractal fits even more drives than I thought. Beside having the funny design shelves to store 8 drives, it can also have two more big drives in the floor of the motherboard area and two thin SSD like drives in the front cover of the case.
 - The box fans are not PWM, but fixed. They come with a switch behind with three positions (H/M/L).

+## BIOS Settings
+
+- In the Advanced Mode, AI Tweaker section, I set AI Overclock Tuner from AUTO to EXPO1 so that the RAM frequency is set to 5600MHz instead of 4800MHz. This way I can use the full frequency of the RAM sticks.
+- I also changed the Q-Fan config from the default to "Silent". We'll see how hot the CPU gets with this one.
+- Finally, there's this one called `Restore AC Power Loss` that I enabled. The idea is that, if power goes off unexpectedly and later comes back, the server will start on its own as soon as power comes in.

+## Installing Proxmox
+
+On 2025-10-26, I start installing Proxmox on nodito as an OS. I download version 9.0, ISO installer and flash it on a USB drive.
+
+Some notes of stuff I did during the install wizard:
+- I set a ZFS pool in RAID0 with the default settings for the OS install.
+- root pwd is noesfacilvivirenunmundo...
+- Networking: I set nodito.rmip as the hostname and let other values default
+
+Once Proxmox was running, I assigned the static IP 192.168.1.139 to it by DHCP Binding in the router.
