2.2. Preparation and boot
Once we have everything require we can proceed booting:
2.2.1. Carefully open the box with the board. The box contains only the board in protective packaging and
four (4) rubber feet.
2.2.2. Remove the board from the protective packaging and place the four rubber feet at bottom of the board.
Use the four mounting holes. If you have trouble inserting them straight, try pushing and rotating the rubber.
Some surfaces might use conductive materials and placing the board directly over such a surface might lead
to short-circuit. The rubber feet allow the board to be placed safely on a flat surface without the risk of short-
circuit. Here is a picture of A64-OLinuXino-1G4GW with the four rubber feet properly placed at the bottom
and important parts labeled:
