jack located in the middle
ofthe
"top" edge and the 3.5
nun
stereo
headphone jackto the right
of
it.
3.
Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located
on
the right edge.
4. Just under the USB ports
on
the right edge
is
the ethernet connector for anyone
who wants to plug the Banana Pi into a wired network.
5.
Finally, at the very left
of
the bottom edge
is
the micro-usb power
connector. Plug in a regulated power supplythat is rated at 5V ±5% and
at
least 700mA (or 0.7A). Any number bigger than 700
mA
(like
lOOOmA)
will
also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for small GSM phones, as
these are often unregulated, even
ifthey
claim "5V
lA"
, they may do "5V"
and
may
do
"lA"
, but not at the same time!
The mini-USB (onthe left)
is
the wrong one.
It's
thicker and looks like a
trapezoid with its sides pinched in. The micro-USB (on the right)
is
the
conect
one. It is thinner and also looks like a trapezoid except it's sides are
rounded outward.
