The headers are there, but no rpms. And I can't remove the hard drive to

I am moving my swap to my SD card for this install attempt.

And I am going to have to get a larger SD card. Would be nice to get a 
larger SSD drive, but I found out that the drive is soldered in on this 
unit. Also pretty much forget about switching the memory out, you have 
to disassemble this unit to change the memory.
