Time to assemble!
Note: since eInk displays don't require power to maintain their image, you'll notice a frame is still displayed here during assembly.
Insert Display Into Frame
First, insert the eInk display into the frame as shown, with the the thicker edge of the frame at the bottom.
eInk Cable Extension
Add the eInk cable extension coupler to the display ribbon on one end and the extended cable on the other.
Connect Bonnet to Pi
Press the Bonnet onto the Pi, being sure to carefully align the 2 x 20 pin connector.
Set the frame back over the Raspberry Pi and bracket as shown, being careful not to pinch the cable.
Connect Back to Frame through Bracket
Carefully align the sandwich and fasten with the five M2.5 x 6mm screws.
Frame Stands
Pick the low or high angle stand -- low angle is great for desk use, high angle is good for bookshelves -- and then set the frame on it.
