===Unboxing the Zynthian Kit v4===

<embedvideo alignment="inline" dimensions="600" service="youtube" description="Unboxing the Official Kit V4, by Richard Nevill">https://youtu.be/wI4YZeFnt58</embedvideo>
=Assembling your Zynthian Box=
===Prerequisites===
Assembling your Zynthian Kit V4 is not difficult at all: you need all your attention, a screwdriver, an adjustable wrench, a cutter and adhesive tape. You don't need to solder anything, just put it together and connect the wires.
'''Read the instructions and observe the detailed photos carefully'''. Both!! If you get in trouble you can ask the community:
https://discourse.zynthian.org
{{WarningBox|Please, handle electronic parts with care, specially the display, as they are easily damaged.}}
Let's go!!
===Secure the unbalanced audio output jack-TS connectors ===
These 2 connectors are pre-assembled together and share a single harness with 3 wires ended with a 3-pin dupont connector.
Insert the jack connectors into the 2 holes labeled as ''audio OUT''. You have to insert them from inside the case and secure them with the washers and nuts from the outside. The washers will keep the nut from damaging the case. Use a wrench for tightening the nuts, but not too much!!

[[File:IMG_2890_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
[[File:IMG_2895_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
===Secure the balanced audio input jack-TRS connectors===
These are 2 separated connectors with a 3-wire harness each, ended with 3 x 1-pin dupont connectors.
Insert the jack connectors into the 2 holes labeled as ''audio IN''. You have to insert them from inside the box and secure them with the washers and nuts from the outside. The washers will keep the nut from damaging the case. Use a wrench for tightening the nuts, but not too much!

[[File:IMG_2896_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
[[File:IMG_2898_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
===Secure the MIDI connectors===
There are 3 standard MIDI connectors (DIN-5) mounted with their harnesses.
Insert each MIDI connector in the 3 holes labeled as ''MIDI OUT/THRU/IN''. You have to insert them from the outside and secure them with the nut from the inside. Start from the ''MIDI-OUT'' and end with the ''MIDI-IN'', using a wrench to tighten the nuts.

[[File:IMG_2915_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
===Mount the MIDI activity LEDS===
===Mount the MIDI activity LEDS===
Insert the 3 LEDS in the case from the outside, leaving the short lead at left. Make sure you push the LEDs by the plastic around the LED, not the LED itself.

* JST Yellow wire (2) => LED's Cathode (LED's short lead)
Since the LED's leads are too long, you will want to cut them down to about 7-8mm. Make sure you remember which lead is the short one.
Since the LED's leads are too long, you will want to cut them down to about 7-8mm. Make sure you remember which lead is the short one. When inserting the dupont connector, if you feel that it doesn't grab the pins enough, you should press the tiny metal-jacket inside the plastic capsule to make it narrow. It's easy, simply put the dupont connector over the desk and press the metal with the screwdriver tip or something like that.

===Assemble the Main Computing Block===
===Prepare the Zynductor Passive Cooler===
The main computing block consists of the Raspberry Pi and the HifiBerry soundcard,and is assembled using these separators and bolts
The Zynductor passive cooler is a little piece of aluminum that sticks to the RBPi's CPU and the aluminum case, creating a thermal channel for evacuating the heat generated by the RBPi's CPU.
[[File:Zynductor_design_mount_1024.jpeg|800px]]
For fixating the Zynductor we will use double-side thermal tape:
[[File:IMG_1293.JPG|600px]]
1. Cut the thermal tape in 2 pieces. One of 4cm long and the second one of 2cm long.
2. Remove the protective yellow paper from the long piece and stick the tape carefully on the zynductor, taking care of covering the long area that contacts the aluminum case. Use a cutter to remove the excess.
3. Repeat the procedure with the short piece and the square area that contacts tha RBPi's CPU.

The Zynductor passive cooler is a little piece of aluminum that sticks to the RBPi's CPU and the aluminum case, creating a thermal channel for evacuating the heat generated by the RBPi's CPU. For getting the best performance, you have to put all your attention and follow carefully these steps:
1. Fix the 2x4 separators to the Raspberry Pi. Put the longest of the two on top of the Pi and the shorter at the bottom.
2. Secure the Raspberry Pi to the bottom of the aluminum case using 4 tiny black bolts M2.5

[[File:IMG_2956_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
[[File:IMG_2958_OK_1024.JPG|400px]]
3. Remove the blue protective cover from the zynductor's square contact area, the one that contacts the RBPI's CPU. '''Don't remove the other one yet!!'''
4. Stick the zynductor over the RBPi's CPU, taking special care of assuring the contact between the aluminum case and the zynductor's long contact area, the one with the blue protective cover still there.
5. Remove the RBPi from the case, untightening the tiny black blots.

6. Plug-in the HifiBerry soundcard on to the Raspberry Pi.
7. Fix the 4 screws on top of the HifiBerry to fix it in place.
8. Remove the blue protective cover from the zynductor's long contact area, the one that contacts the aluminum case.
9. Finally, fix the main computing block to the case, using the 4 remaining tiny black bolts M2.5 to secure it to the bottom of the case.

{{WarningBox|Please, handle electronic parts with care, specially the display, as it is easily damaged.}}
The screen is secured with these 4 screws, nuts, and nylon separators. Mount the screen by screwing the screws from the outside and fixing them with the bolts from the inside. The separators go between the screen and the case, same that the silicone keypad. Remember to remove the protective film from the screen before mounting it.
