The back
The back panel looks like this (on a dot2 core):
There's a lot of different connectors on the back of the console. For this tour we'll need to connect power (the
connector at number one) and I would suggest that you connect a USB keyboard to one of the USB connectors at
number three. You should also connect an external screen (connector number four). The best is a screen with
touch function. If you don't have a touch screen, then you should connect a mouse. Both are connected to the USB
connectors at number three. That's the devices we need for the beginning of this guide. Later we'll look at
connecting the console to a network (using the Ethernet connector at number two).
When you have connected the needed devices, then you can press the power button (at number one) to turn on the
console - remember to connect it to a suitable power source.
The following is a short description of all the connectors on the back:
