New page

Getting start with rock2 square board.

== Preperation ==

The rock2 square package comes with the following items:

* rock2 SoM x 1
* square base board x 1
* usb to dc power cable x 1
* sata cable x 1
* wifi antenna
* M3 screws x 2

You also need the following items to get the board working.

* Power adapter, '''5V/2A''' is a must, if you want to connect 2.5 inch '''SATA''' disk, '''5V/3A''' is a must
* HDMI cable to connect to TV or monitor with HDMI input
* Mouse or keyboard for input

Additional, it will be better if you have the following:
* 2.5 inch disk, you can have much more storage other than on board storage
* '''CR1220''' RTC battery, to keep time when you shutdown the device. The device will get the time from network without RTC battery.
* Wired or wireless network
*

== Install the SoM ==
The SoM has the CPU, memory and storage on it(which has been pre-installed OS on it). If you haven't setup the SoM on the base board, follow the picture below to install the SoM.
# inset the SoM gold finger to the connector with an angle of about 30 degree until the gold finger reach the end of the connector
# press the mounting hole of the SoM and use screw to mount it on the base board

like the picture below:
