HARDWARE ASSEMBLY
Follow the steps below to assemble the hardware.
- Attach the tripod to the back of the module’s heatsink. Note: extending the tripod will allow more convenience in connecting the cables in Steps 2 and 3.
- Connect the USB port of the module to the Linux computer with the USB cable.
Note: Make sure to connect to a USB 3 port on your computer. Throughput will be limited if you do not.
- Connect the power cord to the module. The power jack is located directly to the left of the USB connector (when looking at the module face on). Note: The green “power” LED should be on at this stage.
- Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the 2nd unit. (The 2nd unit is not included in the EVK. If you don’t have another module to connect to, then you must purchase a separate EVK.)
