Cable setup and prerequisites

First Steps

1. The CuBox-i boots from the micro SD. If you purchased a micro SD from SolidRun skip to step #3.
2. When using your own micro SD device, we recommend a 4GB micro SD class4 (at a minimum).
3. When using a SolidRun supplied power adapter, skip to step #7.
4. Power Adapter: you may choose your own power adapter, make sure to use a power adapter with the following specification:
   
   Please note

   a. Voltage: regulated 5V supply with 2A source capacity (3A for CuBox-i4pro).
   b. Use a jack with 2.1mm internal diameter and 5.5mm external diameter. Preferably at least 10.5mm length wire.
   c. Use only limited current source power supply (with current limiting circuit for safety purposes).
   d. DO NOT USE 9V or 12V adapters or any other adapters with output voltage higher than 5V. These adapters will damage the CuBox-i and possibly other connected USB devices.

5. To run applications or distributions on your CuBox-i, you must install them on the micro SD card.
6. Once you have your CuBox-i, micro SD and power adapter ready, insert the micro SD in the micro SD slot with the micro SD pins facing up.
7. Internet: If you have purchased CuBox-i1 or CuBox-i2 first connect an Ethernet cable to your CuBox-i (for internet access during bootup). Models CuBox-i2ex and CuBox-i4Pro (Or CuBox i1 / i2 with WiFi function), can be connected via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet.
8. Display: Connect the CuBox-i to a display screen via an HDMI cable.
9. Connect your power adapter to the DC jack, and then connect the adapter to mains supply.
