196 THE OFFICIAL RASPBERRY PI BEGINNER'S GUIDE

5 Figure 8-1: Connecting the ribbon cable to the Camera Module

Install the other end of the cable the same way. Find the Camera (or CSI) port on the

Raspberry Pi and pull the flap gently upwards. If your Pi is installed in a case, you might

find it easier to remove the Pi first. With the Pi positioned so the HDMI port is facing you,

slide the ribbon cable in so the silver edges are to your left and the blue plastic to your right

(Figure 8-2), then gently push the flap back into place. If the cable is installed properly, it will

be straight and won’t come out if you give it a gentle tug; if not, pull the flap out and try again.
