# First time setup

### Assembly

If DroneCore.Power is used, connect external power supply to DroneCore.Power. Connect DroneCore.Pilot to DroneCore.Power using the 80pin board to board connector. If only DronCore.Pilot is used connect power supply directly to it.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Take special care about the power supply polarity. Reverse connection may lead to a permanent damage of both modules and the loss of warranty!
{% endhint %}

### Power on

Power on external power supply. If DroneCore.Power is used press power switch for several seconds. Power supply automatically switches and the whole board is powered. It is indicated by light underneath the Cube flight controller. If PWM leds are connected to DroneCore.Power, predefined effect start to execute right after power on.
