| − | ==Installation ==
| |
| − | The screen comes with seven 2.5*14.4 standoffs, two 2.5*22 ones, seven 2.5*6 ones, and some nuts for installing the Raspberry Pi to the screen. Take the following steps to complete the assembly. <br>
| |
| − | ===Step 1. Fix the main board to the screen. ===
| |
| − | Place the main board onto the 4 2.5*6 copper standoffs pre-installed on the back case, with the buttons oriented to the case edge, and align the holes on the board and the standoffs. <br>
| |

| |
| − | ===Step 2. Fix the Raspberry Pi (or other boards) on the screen back case.===
| |
| − | There are a vertical slot and a horizontal one on the back of the screen, so you can fix boards with different sizes by moving the nuts and 2.5*6 standoffs with the small wrench. <br>

| |
| − | If you want to use a Raspberry Pi with the screen, then you don't need to adjust the standoffs since they are preset for it. Just place the board onto the case with holes on the RPi and the standoffs aligned, insert the 2.5*14.4 standoffs and fasten them. <br>
