If you are using another display output connection other than HDMI, such as video composite or
DVI, then hook it up to the Raspberry Pi and your monitor or TV in a manner similar to the
above.- You are now ready for the initial test drive (exciting isn’t it?!). Sit down in front of your
monitor or TV and plug the power cord into a power source.
If nothing happens, go directly to the “Troubleshooting Your Raspberry Pi” section, later in this hour.
If a lot of words go flying by on the screen and you see a menu similar to the one shown in the listing
below, congratulations! Your Raspberry Pi boots!

any time you please.Whether your Raspberry Pi boots or not, be sure to read through the next section, and then you can
safely proceed to Hour 2.
