-====== Pre-Configured QORTector Setup ====== 
  
-{{::26a9e220-7c52-4706-825f-0beb6007acb4.png?400|}} 
- 
-Below are the steps for setting up your pre-configured QORTector: 
- 
-**Important: Do NOT run the QORTector if fan isn’t running after powering the device!** The fan needs to be running to prevent the board from overheating. 
- 
-Basically plug everything in, configure wifi if you’re not using Ethernet, let it sync.  
- 
-Login is username: Pi 
-Default password: dmax911e  
- 
-To change password, open terminal and enter: passwd 
- 
-Then enter your new password! 
- 
-Add your account with your backup file (http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=account_recovery_backup_file). 
- 
-Here are two videos Crowetic made for setup:

- 
-If your device doesn’t have latest UI version, open terminal, run this command: 
-./update-qortal-ui.sh 
- 
-(Press ‘y’ and ‘enter’ the couple of times as prompted. It may ask you a few times to delete a few files - just enter ‘y’ and proceed. The update will begin. It may appear that nothing is happening but be patient and wait for the ‘BUILD COMPLETE’ message. This is confirmation that the update is finished which you can then close the terminal! 
- 
-Always tell QORTector to shut down from the menu option, don’t use the power switch. Power switch should only be shut off after the device powers down to protect it from surges, but with that said, you should have a surge protector or UPS (battery power supply) regardless as the QORTector is intended to stay running 24/7.  
- 
- 
-====setup your QORTector for your locale and Wifi country ==== 
- 
-In order to configure the QORTector for your locale... you will need to use 'raspi-config'. 
- 
-You will need to configure your localization options to ensure your wifi locale and your timezones are set correctly. 
- 
-''sudo raspi-config'' 
- 
-in terminal. 
- 
-That will open a program with some configuration settings. The first one you will need to set is your 'timezone' - go through the wizard and select your timezone. 
- 
-**localisation options - configure timezone** 
- 
-**localisation options - wifi localisation** 
- 
-Then you will want to configure the Wifi localization for your country, select that option and configure your wifi locale. 
- 
-push okay, then when it asks you to restart now, cancel, and do the following to restart safely... 
- 
-''cd qortal'' 
- 
-''./stop.sh'' 
- 
-''sudo reboot''
