INSTALL THE RASPBERRY PI OS
An operating system needs to be installed onto the Micro SD card before inserting it into the Raspberry Pi.
Note: Skip this chapter if the Raspberry Pi already has an operating system installed.
Raspberry Pi Imager is a quick and easy way to install the Raspberry Pi operating system to a Micro SD card from a
computer or laptop.
Browse to the Raspberry Pi Imager site and download the version that matches the computer or laptop’s operating
system (www.raspberrypi.org/software). When the download is complete, launch the installer program and follow the
prompts to install the Raspberry Pi Imager.
If the Windows operating system prevents the application from launching, click on More info and then click on Run
anyway to install the Raspberry Pi Imager.
Insert the Micro SD card into the computer or laptop’s SD card slot. If the computer or laptop only has a full-size port
for SD cards, use a Micro SD card adapter.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step1
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.
Step2
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 Raspberry Pi on the plate and fasten them with 2.5*14.4 standoffs.
13
