underside of the board.
2. 2.On the bottom "edge" in the middle of the board is the HDMI Type A (Full sized)
port.Just connect any HDMI cable from the board to your TV or HDMI Monitor.
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. 5.Finally, at the very left of the bottom edge is the USB power connector. Plug in a
regulated power supply that is rated at 5V ±5% / 2000mA (or 2A). Any number bigger
than 700 mA will also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for small GSM
phones, as these are often unregulated, even if they claim "5V 1A", they may do "5V"
and may do "1A", but not at the same time!
If all goes well, the Banana Pi will boot in a few minutes. The screen will display the OS GUI.
Step5: Shut down your Banana Pi
You can use the GUI to shut down the Banana Pi safely.
Also you can run the command in the terminal:
sudo halt
or
sudo shutdown –h
This will shut down the PI safely, (just use the power key to turn off might damage the SD-
cards file system).After that you can press the power key for 5 seconds to turn it off.
If all is well ,so you can use banana pi M2+ now.
