# Setup

Link 5G hardware connection mainly includes SIM, Antenna, XBCamera V2, Flight Controller and Power up.

### Nano SIM Card <a href="#sim-card" id="sim-card"></a>

XBLink 5G supports push-push NanoSim connector.

Insert your SIM card into the SIM Card slot, the chip contacts have to **face up**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The SIM card is recessed into the enclosure and you might need a tool to push it into the socket. You can hear a click when the card is inserted.
{% endhint %}

To remove the SIM card, push onto the card with a tool. You can hear a "click" and the card will be pushed out of the enclosure. To remove the card again, push it in once more and it will pop out.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Please don't connect any HDMI cameras like Gopro,... to **CSI port**. This is **CSI** not **HDMI port**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**  We currently support variety of Cameras and Gimbals in [**here**](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g/user-manual/advanced-configuration/cameras-and-gimbals)

&#x20;           For another payload via **CSI** or **HDMI**, please contact us.
{% endhint %}

### Connect Flight Controller (Telemetry)

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink 5G via [**COM1/2**](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g/user-manual/interfaces#com1-2-j3) (optional) or [**COM3**](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g/user-manual/interfaces#gps-com3-j4) port.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Config baud rate of Pixhawk to 57600,  SERIAL1\_BAUD (Default 57, it means 57600), SERIAL1\_PROTOCOL: 2 (MAVLink 2)
{% endhint %}

### Power up

XBLink 5G supports 7-30V voltage input. We highly recommend **3-4 S battery  or 12V DC UBEC** (minimum 3A)  to power (6S battery is possible but make sure it's high quality and low discharge)

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you use low quality or high discharge 6S battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.
{% endhint %}
