7. Heat Sink Set: Three aluminum heat sinks to help dissipate heat from the main processing units.

3. Panduan Persediaan

Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your Raspberry Pi 3 B Starter Kit for first use.

3.1. Installing Heat Sinks

The heat sinks help maintain optimal operating temperatures. Carefully peel off the protective backing from each heat sink and firmly attach them to the designated chips on the Raspberry Pi board. Typically, the largest heat sink goes on the main CPU (Broadcom chip), and smaller ones on the RAM and Ethernet controller.

3.2. Assembling the Case

Once the heat sinks are in place, carefully position the Raspberry Pi board into the bottom half of the protective case. Ensure all ports align correctly with the case openings. Then, snap the top half of the case into place. The case is designed for easy assembly and provides protection while allowing access to all ports.

3.3. Preparing the Memory Card

The 64GB memory card is where your operating system will reside. You will need to flash an operating system image onto it using another computer.

1. Insert the 64GB memory card into the provided USB card reader.
2. Connect the USB card reader to your computer.
3. Download an operating system image (e.g., Raspberry Pi OS) from the official Raspberry Pi webtapak (raspberrypi.com/software).
4. Use an imaging tool (like Raspberry Pi Imager) to write the OS image to the memory card. Follow the instructions provided by the imaging tool.
5. Safely eject the USB card reader and remove the memory card.

3.4. Sambungan Awal

Before applying power, make the following connections:

1. Insert the prepared memory card into the microSD card slot on the Raspberry Pi.
2. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the Raspberry Pi and the other end to your display (monitor or TV).
3. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on the Raspberry Pi.
4. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable for wired network access, or prepare for Wi-Fi setup later.
