2. Install the USB splitter with M2.5 x 6mm bolts and nuts.
3. Install the ribbon cable to the Pi 4 that was in the X630 package.
4. Use M2 x 6mm self-tapping screws to affix the OLED cover
   • Note: Make sure cutout on OLED cover is facing the circuits on OLED.
5. Plug in the USB C plug into the splitter plug inside the drawer then plug the other end into the power jack on the Raspberry Pi 4.
6. Attach Pi 4 to plate by screwing in screws to the 2x standoffs to secure the board.
7. Assemble the X630 per the directions, but don't use their standoffs, attach to the 2x printed standoffs instead using the screws mentioned above and not from their kit.
8. Screw in the back Pi 4 screws or attach the optional fan mount.
9. Connect your PiKVM v2 per the instructions here: https://docs.pikvm.org/v2/
