## Docs
- [`docs/hardware-layout.md`](docs/hardware-layout.md) — bay/device/VM mapping worksheet
Committed and pushed. The guide is at `docs/setup-guide.md` and covers everything in order:
| Phase | What happens |
|-------|-------------|
| 1 | Firmware updates (do this first — saves pain later) |
| 2 | iDRAC: static IP + enable IPMI over LAN |
| 3 | BIOS: VT-x, VT-d, UEFI mode, HDD stagger — **all required** |
| 4 | H730: RAID1 the 2x 2.5" OS drives, leave 3.5" alone |
| 5 | Install Proxmox onto the RAID1 OS mirror |
| 6 | Post-install: fix repos, install tools, clone this repo |
| 7 | `perc-nonraid.sh` — 3.5" drives to non-RAID mode |
| 8 | `build-bay-map.sh` — walk bays with LED blink, fill in the map |
| 9 | `gpu-passthrough-setup.sh` — IOMMU + vfio-pci, verify with `lspci` |
| 10 | Fan control + stagger spin-up services installed |
| 11 | Create VMs, fill in the conf placeholders |
| 12 | NVIDIA driver + Docker + Frigate inside VM 100 |
The key thing to do **before** touching the installer: Phase 3 BIOS settings, especially VT-d. It's the most common skip that causes passthrough to silently fail.
