Boot-Up Checklist

1. LEDs are on, means power is fed to both boards. If not, check power source.

2. Sparky LED intermittent, mean OS booted properly. If static, try to power on again.

3. Ethernet LED intermittent, means its connected to network. If not, try to re-boot.

• After 1-2 mins, the unit should be visible on your network.

• You can access the user interface by accessing the IP or simply type: volumio.local or

dietpi.local

*** Power Feed Instructions ***

There are 3 choices to feed power to your USBridge:

1. Recommended: Feed power to the DC connector on bottom (not to the microUSB)

since it accepts 3A.

2. Advanced: if you decide to open your case, you can remove the J28 jumper of the

USBBoard. You can then power the Sparky AND the USB board independently.

3. Not recommended: microUSB of the Sparky. Only 1.8 Amps can be fed through that connector

and both boards need more at boot up... you will run into problems.
