+
+## Device assembly
+
+### Full set assembly
+
+The section below describes the procedure for the complete assembly
+of the working station.
+
+1. Place the motherboard in front of you. This is the component with which most
+    operations will be performed. It’s best to put something soft under the
+    board to avoid damage during RAM installation and other steps.
+
+    ![Motherboard](images/motherboard.jpg)
+
+1. In the motherboard box, find the CPU bracket marked "E1B".
+
+    ![CPU bracket](images/CPU-bracket.jpg)
+
+1. Attach the bracket to the CPU, making sure to line up the triangles and
+    that all the clips are fully engaged.
+
+    ![Cooler Bracket](images/mounted-bracket.jpg)
+    ![Bracket Clips](images/bracket-clips.jpg)
+
+1. Assemble the cooler by screwing in two metal pieces on both sides of the
+    cooler. They can be found in the accessories box marked "LGA4677".
+    You will need to screw in the holes marked "LGA4677".
+
+    ![Assambled Cooler](images/assambled-cooler.jpg)
+
+1. Remove the CPU socket cover from the motherboard and very carefully place
+    the CPU into the socket, making sure to line up the triangles.
+
+    ![Installed CPU](images/installed-CPU.jpg)
+
+1. Apply thermal paste to the CPU, remove the peel from the bottom of the cooler,
+    and place it on the CPU, ensuring the airflow arrows point in the direction
+    of the motherboard I/O.
+
+    ![Thermal Paste](images/thermalpaste.jpg)
+    ![CPU Cooler](images/installed-coooler.jpg)
+
+1. Tighten the CPU cooler using a T30 screwdriver. First, tighten the screws
+    around halfway, then tighten the opposite corners fully. This is crucial
+    for good contact between the CPU and the socket.
+
+    ![Cooler Screws](images/cooler-clips.jpg)
+
+1. The cooler assembly can now be attached to the cooler by snapping the pieces
+    on both sides. The fan with the Arctic logo on the front should be attached
+    to the right side of the cooler.
+
+    ![Cooler Fans](images/cooler-fans.jpg)
+
+1. Connect the cooler fan headers by attaching them together and securing them
+    to the motherboard in the FAN1 port.
+
+    ![Fan Connectors](images/fan-connectors.jpg)
+
+1. Install the memory modules into the DIMM slots. To insert a single module,
+    open the latches on both sides. Then insert the RAM and gently press
+    downward until the latches close automatically. Install memory according
+    to the table. If only one module is used, place it in slot A1.
+
+    |                    | DIMM Number   |    |    |    |    |
+    | ------------------ | ------------- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
+    | DIMM SLOT          | 1             | 2  | 4  | 6  | 8  |
+    | A1                 | V             | V  | V  | V  | V  |
+    | B1                 |               |    |    | V  | V  |
+    | C1                 |               |    | V  |    | V  |
+    | D1                 |               |    |    | V  | V  |
+    | E1                 |               |    | V  |    | V  |
+    | F1                 |               |    |    | V  | V  |
+    | G1                 |               | V  | V  | V  | V  |
+    | H1                 |               |    |    | V  | V  |
+
+    ![Installed RAM](images/installed-ram.jpg)
+
+1. Using pliers, unscrew and screw back the SSD standoff one hole closer to the
+    M.2 slot. Install the M.2 solid-state drive (SSD) into the M.2 slot and
+    tighten the screw holding it. (You may need additional M3 screw for that)
+
+    ![M2 standoff](images/M2-standoff.jpg)
+    ![Install Storage](images/installed-ssd.jpg)
+
+1. Install the TPM module in the slot marked "TPM_BIOS_PH1"
+
+    ![Installed TPM](images/installed-TPM.jpg)
+
+1. Open the chassis by removing four screws from both sides of the top panel
+    and remove the metal PCIe cards holder by unscrewing four screws on the
+    left and right sides (not the top). This piece will not be reinstalled
+    in the case.
+
+    ![Open Chassis](images/chassis-screws.jpg)
+    ![Remove PCIe holder](images/PCIe-holder.jpg)
+
+1. Install the IO shield by inserting it from inside the enclosure and
+    pressing it lightly.
+
+    ![IO shield](images/IOshield.jpg)
+
+1. Make sure there are standoffs installed in all the correct spots, as shown
+    in the picture.
+
+    ![Motherboard standoffs](images/motherboard-standoffs.jpg)
+
+1. Before installing the power supply, locate and plug in the two CPU power
+    cables and one 24-pin connector.
+
+    ![PSU Cables](images/PSU-cables.jpg)
+    ![PSU Connected cables](images/PSU-cables-connected.jpg)
+
+1. Install the PSU in the case by placing it in its slot on the right side of
+    the case and securing it with all four screws at the back.
+
+1. Place the motherboard into the case and fasten it with screws in the marked
+    spots.
+
+    ![Screws Placement](images/installed-motherboard.jpg)
+
+1. Ensure the IO shield covers for RJ-45 ports are properly trimmed, and that
+    no metal tabs interfere with any ports.
+
+    ![Installed IO shield](images/IO-shield-installed.jpg)
+
+1. Connect the front-panel cables to the appropriately marked spots.
+
+    ![Front Panel](images/frontpanel.jpg)
+
+1. Connect the USB 3.0 cable to the port marked "USB3_3_4".
+
+    ![USB3 Cable](images/usb3-cable.jpg)
+
+1. Connect the front fan to the "FAN4" header on the motherboard. To connect
+    the rear fan, an extender will be needed to connect it to the "FAN3"
+    connector.
+
+    ![Front Fan](images/front-fan.jpg)
+    ![Back Fan](images/back-fan.jpg)
+
+1. Connect the power supply to the motherboard as shown in the provided images.
+    For a 24-pin connector, an adapter provided with the motherboard will be
+    needed.
+
+    ![24pin Adapter](images/24ping-adapter.jpg)
+    ![PSU connection](images/PSU-connections.jpg)
+
+1. Bundle cables so they do not interfere with fans or other components.
+
+    ![Cable Menagment](images/cable-menegment.jpg)
+
+1. Close the case by reinstalling all four screws.
+
+1. Attach case keys to the front of the case to prevent loss or
+    damage during shipping.
+
+    ![Case keys](images/case-keys.jpg)
+
+## Device validation
+
+1. Connect the device to the mains power.
+1. Open the front panel using the attached key.
+1. Power on the device with the button located on the front panel.
+1. If all connections have been made correctly, the device should start, and
+    the boot logo should be shown.
+1. Install Dasharo firmware in accordance with [Initial Deployment][Deployment]
+1. Power on the device.
+1. Boot to the Linux system (Ubuntu is recommended).
+1. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo dmidecode -t 0 | grep Version
+    ```
+
+1. The output of the command above should be similar to:
+    `Version: Dasharo (coreboot+UEFI) <version>` where the version should
+    correspond to the version of the flashing binary used, eg. v1.0.0.
+1. Check in the system that everything is working correctly.
