Overview
The Geekworm X1208 UPS+POE Shield provides the Raspberry Pi 5 with stable power and enhanced storage. It integrates a M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slot for fast data access and reliable backup, even during power loss.

With its 5.1V/5A output, the X1208 ensures uninterrupted performance for power-hungry projects and peripherals. The smart power management system supports auto power-on, safe shutdown, and AC power loss detection, while automatically cutting power after shutdown to extend battery life.

This all-in-one UPS and storage expansion board offers reliable backup power, data protection, and continuous operation — perfect for advanced Raspberry Pi 5 applications.

Function of the Pogo Pin
The pogo pin must be installed to enable the same power button function as on the Raspberry Pi 5. Without the pogo pin, the X1208 power button can still be used to power on the system and force a shutdown by pressing it three times.
