Building a Zynthian Box using an official Kit v4.0 (view source)
Revision as of 11:08, 29 July 2020
, 11:08, 29 July 2020→Secure the Main Computing Block and assemble the Zynductor Passive cooler to the Raspberry Pi and the Aluminum Case
===Secure the Main Computing Block and assemble the Zynductor Passive cooler to the Raspberry Pi and the Aluminum Case===
===Prepare the Zynductor Passive Cooler===
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 fixating the Zynductor we will use double-side thermal tape:
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.

===Secure the Main Computing Block and assemble the Zynductor Passive Cooler===
The main computing block consists of the Raspberry Pi and the HifiBerry soundcard,and is assembled using 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. 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 she shorter at the bottom.

2. Secure the Raspberry Pi to the bottom of the aluminum case using 4 tiny black bolts M2.5

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.
