Detach the M.2 expansion board and fasten the M.2 SSD

Assemble the ICETower Cooler to its brackets and stick the silicon thermal pad

Mount the ICE Tower Cooler, the GPIO connector and the T-shaped conductive cotton. Attach the RPI board to the Power Control Board and pay attention to the FPC socket.

Push the circuit board into the shell.

Close the shell with the acrylics. Ready to boot!

Flash the Umbrel OS.
