It seems that I was looking at the wrong side of the board, looking more closely, it looks like the power is connected through a two single female dupont pins on the bottom of the board and not JST connector near the heatsink. I found this thread about powering the board up. Sorry, reddit

It is so weird to have a home server board that doesn't have sata ports, one of the older cubieturck boards is better equipped for this task because it has gigabit ethernet and a sata port, though throughput is limited to 40MB/s. As for Hugh's note for the connector -- it looks like a

| From: Ansar Mohammed via talk | It seems that power is supplied through GPIO. Yes. | So some soldering is required. I think that the "baby breakout" and the "large breakout" (404 so maybe no longer available) do this task. They plug into the expansion sockets and then are screwed down.

This is an inexpensive Atom-based Single-Board Computer (SBC). It created a flurry on Amazon a few months ago and then seemed to go out of stock. I just assumed that it was some surplus board that was being blown out. Maybe it is. Now it is being sold by AmeriDroid, a distributor/vendor of
