Page 2: Power Supply
Power supply Always use a UL or CE marked wall power supply with the included splitter cable. Use a wall power supply that can deliver enough current for your application. For best results, use a 5.1 volt power supply to avoid low voltage warnings on the display. The official Raspberry Pi power supply is recom- mended. - Page 3 Step 2 Use the two small black screws to secure the small plastic retaining part to the back cover. This will hold the power cable in the case. Do not overtighten the screws! Step 3 Assemble the metal base on the bottom of the plastic base. The metal base can only properly assemble onto the base one way.
- Page 4 Step 4 Assemble one of the white ribbon cables with the contacts facing up to the display connection on the display board. Step 5 Attach the display to the case with the four plastic screws and metal washers that came in the bag by themselves.
- Page 5 Step 6 Attach the Raspberry Pi to the housing with the gold standoffs that came with the display. Use the short bundle of four jumper wires to attach the Raspberry Pi GPIO to the display as shown by the diagram below. Attach the white display cable to the Raspberry Pi DSI connector as shown below. Connect the fan to the display using the remaining pins on the display using the supplied jumper extension wires.
- Page 6 Step 7 If you want to use HAT boards you have two options. Option 1 - Stack the HAT directly on top of the Pi and purchase longer female to female jumper wires ( not included ) to attach the display to the GPIO pins on the HAT. You will need to make sure the HAT is not using the same GPIO pins as the display.
- Page 7 Step 8 If you choose to use the camera hole, the Official Raspberry Pi camera can be assemble into the the camera hole with two of the small black screws. If you are not using the camera, proceed to Step 9. To rotate the camera image 180 degrees In a command line enter sudo nano /etc/rc.local...
- Page 8 Step 9 If you chose to not use the camera, you can temporarily plug the hole with the small plastic cover part with two of the small black screws. Alternatively, you can permanently cover the camera hole with the adhesive front panel. Do not have the plastic camera cover part installed when you apply the adhesive panel.
- Page 9 Step 11 If you choose to not use the fan, the small door can be assembled into the hole in the back cover and attach with two of the small black screws. Step 12 If you choose to use the fan , attach the small rubber vibration mounts to the holes in the back cover as shown below.
- Page 10 Step 13 Then pull the rubbers mounts through the fan holes and pull the thin end of the mount until the fan is mounted on the rubber mount as shown below. The fan should only be mounted in the way as shown below.
- Page 11 Step 15 Attach the power cables to the Pi. If using Pi 4, use the USB-C , if using the Pi 3 and below use the micro USB end. Step 16 If using the port blocking part, from the back side cut out the desired ports with a utility knife. Two parts are included.
- Page 12 Step 17 Assemble the back cover to the display housing with the four black screws. The port blocking part should have tabs that fit inside the housing and cover. Step 18 Adjust the angle of the display to suit you needs. Then tighten the pivot screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Page 13: Vesa Mounts
Green screws left over? You will have 4 green screws left when you are done. This is not a mistake. These are prepackaged with the hardware and are for the version of the product that is compatible with the Raspberry Pi official display. Please discard them. VESA mounts 75mm VESA mounts (circled in red) can be used to mount the display housing...
