It's easy to make a mistake while assembling the parts or connecting the wires. Some errors can be dangerous for the electronic components (short-circuits, some specific bad-wiring combinations) so it's better to be sure that everything is correctly assembled and connected.

Put special attention to ribbon bus connection and verify that red wire is on pin 1 for every connector. Also put attention to audio jack connectors and check that they are correctly connected to the Hifiberry soundcard.

When you are pretty sure that everything is in its place, it's time to boot by first time, so:
When you are sure that everything is in its place, it's time to boot by first time, so:
1. Insert the SD-card with the zynthian image ready to run. If you don't have one yet, [[#Zynthian_Software|read this]].

2. Plug the mini-usb power conector. A good 5V micro-usb charger is recommended (> 2 Amp).

These are the stages that you should see while booting:
1. Initially, the display must go white
1. After 5-10 seconds, it will show the Zynthian splash screen
2. After 3-4 seconds, it will go black
3. If you are using a fresh zynthian image and it's the first boot, the stages 1 and 2 will be repeated
4. After 5-10 seconds, the zynthian UI will be shown
If you get the Zynthian UI, congratulations!!! You are really close to get it!!

If not, bad luck! Probably you made some mistake during the mounting process. You have to [[#Locating_and_Solving_problems|locate and solve the problem(s)]].

If you are using an older SD image that is not pre-configure for the Kit v3, then you should configure your Zynthian Box's hardware using the [[Configuration_Users_Guide|webconf tool]]. These are the adjustments you have to do:
If you are using the Aruk RC-3 SD image, you will note that the controllers are not working at all. This SD image is pre-configured for the kit v2, so
we need to configure the software for working with your kit v3. The simplest way is using the webconf tool:
* Connect your zynthian to your local network using an ethernet cable (RJ-45).
* From your web browser, access the zynthian's webconf tool by typing "zynthian.local" in the address bar.
* If this doesn't work for you, you should try with the IP. You can get the IP of your zynthian by navigating to the Admin Menu and clicking "Network Info". You should do that by using the "touch" interface: Click the top bar with a stick (or your nail, if it's not too wide) until you are in the Admin Menu. Once you are there, go down and click "Network Info".
