SPECIFICATION & NOTES
Minimum size 4Gb; class 4 (the class indicates
■ ■
how fast the card is).
We recommend using branded SD cards as
■ ■
they are more reliable.
HDMI to HDMI lead (for HD TVs and monitors
■ ■
with HDMI input).
OR
HDMI to DVI lead (for monitors with DVI input).
■ ■
A 3.5mm to RCA composite video lead and
stereo audio cable is required to connect to your
analogue display if you are not using the HDMI
output.
Any standard USB keyboard and mouse should
■ ■
work.
Keyboards or mice that take a lot of power from
■ ■
the USB ports, however, may need a powered
USB hub. This may include some wireless
devices.
Networking is optional, although it makes updating
and getting new software for your Raspberry Pi
much easier.
A good quality, micro USB power supply that can
provide at least 600mA at 5V is essential.
