|-
|SATA ||  Allows you to connect SATA devices to your Raspberry Pi
|-
|Wireless || Built in IR sensor (38KHz)
|-
|Misc ||
- Power output socket
- Directly connected on top of the Raspberry Pi using the board GPIO header pins
- No wiring nor soldering is required
- Duplicated the 40-pin header of the R-Pi in order to support existing expansion boards

Notes
1. The RCA L/R output will not have sound if the incoming audio is multi-channel audio (>2CH). Set EDID switch to 2CH for RCA L/T stereo application.
2. TOSLINK optical audio output does not support Dolby Digital Plus (used by Roku and Chromecast) and higher formats, such as HD audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, PCM5.1 and beyond).
3. Set audio EDID to 5.1CH for DD5.1CH / DTS5.1CH, use optical output to connect to audio receiver for surround sound.

==PACKING LIST==
*1 x X600 expansion board
*4 x nylon spacers (M3 x 20mm)
*8 x nylon screws  (M3 x 6mm)
*1 x USB adapter
*1 x HDMI adapter
----  
==QUICK START GUIDE==
*A. Fitting the expansion board
*B. Power supply
*C. Configuring Rasbian
*D. SATA port
----
*A. FITTING THE EXPANSION BOARD
*1. Push a screws up through the mounting hole on the underside of the Raspberry Pi and screw the spacer down until it is hand tight
[[File:Assembly 275p1.jpg|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*2. Plugs the expansion board straight into your Raspberry Pi B+'s GPIO header and screw  down
[[File:Assembly 275p2.jpg|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*3. Insert the USB adapter
[[File:Assembly 275p2.jpg|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*4. Insert the HDMI adapter
[[File:Assembly 275p4.jpg|left|300px]]

==B. POWER SUPPLY==
X600 expansion board supplies the RPi with a regulated +5V through the GPIO header using a 2A poly-resettable (PTC) fuse. <br>
With the wide voltage input range (6~20vdc), the RPi can be powered from a wide variety of external sources such as batteries, power adapters, solar battery sources, etc. <br>
<pre>
Recommended Power Adapter : 110~240VAC input, 12VDC 2A output 
Dimension of input plug (Unit: mm)
</pre>
[[File:DC plug.png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
<font color=red>WARNING: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR RASPBERRY PI VIA THE PI’s MICRO USB SOCKET. </font><br>
==C. CONFIGURING RASPBIAN==
*Based on RASPBIAN JESSIE
<pre>
Version: March 2016
Release date: 2016-03-18
Kernel version: 4.1
HDMI setting
</pre>
*<1> To ensure that the necessary kernel modules are loaded at boot
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo nano /boot/config.txt</code><br>
*<2> Uncomment following three lines in config.txt by removing '#' located at start of the line. (check Images below)
[[File:Vga1.png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
<pre>
hdmi_force_hotplug=1      pretends that HDMI device is always attached
hdmi_group                            specifies whether monitor is DMT type (Computers) or CEA type (TV)
hdmi_mode                            specifies the resolution of monitor.
</pre>
*<3> For hdmi_group value selection : If you’re using output as Computer monitor then replace value ’1′ with ’2′, so the new config will be like :
<code>hdmi_group=2</code><br>
(Select value 1 for TV, Select value 2 for monitor)<br>
*<4> For hdmi_mode value selection :  Now open eLinux RPi config scroll down, there in hdmi_mode two tables are given, select the correct resolution as per your monitor.<br>
(Table1 if you’re using TV & Table2 if you’re using Monitor)<br>
Since my monitor’s resolution is 1440×900 px, hdmi_mode=47 fits me the best. So, the modified config.txt will be like.<br>
<code>hdmi_mode=47</code><br>
Overall my uncommented lines will look something like : <br>
[[File:Vga2.png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*<5> adding the "hdmi_drive=2" line at the bottom
[[File:Hdmi setting.png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*<6> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
*<7> Reboot your Raspberry Pi
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo reboot</code><br>
*<8> Mouse right click the speaker icon and select audio output of HDMI
[[File:X600 setting 1.png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*Testing the IR receiver
*<9> Installing LIRC
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo apt-get install lirc</code><br>
*<10> Add the two lines below to /etc/modules . This will start the modules up on boot. Pin 8 bellow will be used to take the output from the IR sensor.
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo nano /etc/modules</code><br>
<pre>   
lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18
</pre>
[[File:Ir 0 - x600 (1).png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*<11> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
*<12> If you are using 3.18.x RaspberryPi firmware you must modify one additional file for the lirc-rpi kernel extension to be loaded:       
Edit your /boot/config.txt file <br>
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo nano  /boot/config.txt</code><br>
and add:<br>
<code>dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=18</code><br>
[[File:Ir 0 - x600 (2).png|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*<13> Edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and have it appear exactly as shown below.
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf</code><br>
<pre>
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="--uinput"
# Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
# START_LIRCMD=false
# Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
# START_IREXEC=false
# Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_rpi"
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
</pre>
[[File:Ir2.gif|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
*The highlighted text are the parts that will need changing, though it’s worth checking the rest of the text incase you have a different initial configuration.
*<14> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
*<15> Reboot the Raspberry Pi
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo reboot</code><br>
*<16> Run these two commands to stop lircd and start outputting raw data from the IR receiver: 
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop </code><br>
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 </code><br>
*<17> Point a remote control at your IR receiver and press some buttons. You should see something like this:

----
==D. SATA PORT==
The SATA port allows you to connect SATA devices to your Raspberry Pi, a very useful tool for data transfer, backup and cloning.<br>
It supports most  SATA devices such as CD ROM, DVD ROM, CD drive, 2.5 inch hard disk and 3.5 inch hard disk.<br>
Installation for SATA drives:<br>
<pre>
1. Connect you SATA drive to the SATA port with a SATA cable.
2. Connect SATA Power Cable to a power adapter which is used to power hard disk OR to the power connector on X300 (Output voltage of power adapter used must be 12Vdc).
</pre>
