10.1 Quick Setup
Attach VGA cable 6981084, PS/2 keyboard / mouse cable 6981083, and USB cables 6981082 as
needed.
Attach display, keyboard, and mouse (if needed) to the cables.
Connect power to power input connector J4 using AC adapter PS-5V-04 or your own power supply with
power cable 6981009. The input connector and cable keyed to prevent incorrect connection. However
ensure that the red wire +5V is on pin 1 of the board connector J4.
WARNING: Attaching the power connector incorrectly will destroy the Helios SBC!
For a quick verification that the system is set up and working properly, if no boot device is attached, the
system will boot to FreeDOS on the on-board virtual flash drive. In order for this to work, the on-board
flash drive must be enabled. See instructions in section 11.4.
