===Connect the MIDI connectors & activity LEDs===
Connect the 2 JST cables from the MIDI connectors to the MIDI-IN and the MIDI-OUT/THRU connectors on the All-In-One module. Note that currently only 2 connectors are available in the official aluminum case, so you have to choose what do you prefer: MIDI-OUT or MIDI-THRU ;-)

If you are using the official Zynthian SD Image, the first thing you should do after booting up your Zynthian Box and having the controllers working OK is update the software:
If you are using the official Zynthian SD Image, the first thing you should do after booting up your Zynthian Box and having the controllers working OK is update the software:
- connect the Zynthian Box to your router using a RJ45 cable
- connect your Zynthian Box to your router using an ethernet cable
- '''update zynthian software''' from the admin menu
- from the admin menu, click '''update software'''
- '''update zynthian library''' from the admin menu
- from the admin menu, click '''restart UI''' (or '''reboot''')
The update process can take some time. Be patient. If you get some ERROR message while updating, please, [https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/problems-updating-the-software-from-the-admin-menu/386 ask in the forum]. You can send a photo or description of the error message.

You can also update the software using the webconf tool, or from the command line.

In this section i will try to give you some tips for locating and solving the problems you may have.

For finding and solving problems, i really recommend to connect a HDMI display to the RBPi. It will give you accurate information during the booting sequence. Also, if you connect a USB keyboard, you can login into the system and get extra information, inspect the logs, etc.

===The display don't go white in the boot stage 1===
===The display don't show the zynthian splash screen on boot===
In that case, probably the system is not booting correctly. You could try to connect a HDMI display and see if the system is booting. If you can't see the booting sequence, then you should re-burn your SD-card with the Zynthian image. Also, check that your image file is correct by using the SHA1 signature.
If the problem persist it's very probable you haven't solder correctly the side 26-pin connector. You should double check the connector and be sure that it's correctly soldered.
===The display don't show the zynthian splash screen in the boot stage 2===
===You get the zynthian error screen with the IP===
Your hardware seems to be incorrectly configured. You should access the webconf tool and configure your hardware.
===Your controllers doesn't work===
You make a mistake while connecting the controllers or your hardware (wiring layout) is incorrectly configured. You should access the webconf tool and configure your hardware.
===You can't solve the problem===
===You can't solve the problem===
