(^30) THE OFFICIAL RASPBERRY PI BEGINNER'S GUIDE
Connecting a power supply
Connecting the Raspberry Pi to a power supply is the very last step in the hardware setup
process, and it’s one you should do only when you’re ready to set up its software: the
Raspberry Pi does not have a power switch and will turn on as soon as it is connected to a live
power supply.
First, connect the micro USB end of the power supply cable to the micro USB power
connector on the Raspberry Pi. It can only go in one way, with the narrow part of the connector
facing downwards, and should slide home gently.
Finally, connect the power supply to a mains socket and switch the socket on; the Raspberry
Pi will immediately start running.
Congratulations: you’ve put your Raspberry Pi together!
POWER SUPPLY
If you’re using the Official Raspberry Pi Power Supply, you’ll see it
comes with multiple mains connectors suitable for the sockets of
various countries; find the one that matches your country’s socket
type, then slide it onto the power supply body until you hear a click.
