You may need additional accessories based on the mode of operation, you can use your BeagleY-AI in different ways.
1. :ref:`USB Tethering by directly connecting via USB type-c port <beagley-ai-usb-tethering>`
2. :ref:`Headless connection via UART debug port <beagley-ai-headless>`
3. :ref:`Standalone connection with Monitor and other peripherals attached <standalone-connection>`
Easiest option is to connect the board directly to your PC or Laptop using a USB type-C to type-c cable. There is only one USB type-C port on board, if you
choose to use a dedicated power supply for first time setup, you may choose to access the board via any other methods listed above.
Power Supply
=============
To power the board you can either connect it to a dedicated power supply like a mobile charger or a wall adapter that
can provide 5V ≥ 3A. Checkout the :ref:`docs power supply page <accessories-power-supplies>` for power supply recommendations.

Board connection
.. note::
=================
If you are using the board with a fan or running a heavy task you should always power
the board with a dedicated power supply that can supply 5V ≥ 3A.
There is only one USB type-C port on board, if you choose to use a dedicated power supply for first time setup, you may access the board via one of the following methods:
As per USB standards these are the current that each cable can supply:
1. Connection to HDMI display, Keyboard and Mouse
- Type-A to Type-C - 900mA
2. UART using RPi debug probe or similar
- Type-C to Type-C - 1500mA
3. Ethernet network connection
Another direct and easy option is to connect the board directly to your PC or Laptop using a USB type-C cable.
Thus it's recommended to use type-C to type-C cable.
.. note::
To initially test your board, you can connect the board directly to your computer using a ``type-A to type-C`` or ``type-C to type-C`` cable shown in the image below.
If you are using the board with a fan or running a heavy task you should always power
the board with a dedicated power supply that can supply 5V ≥ 3A.
After connecting, you should see the power LED glow, and soon just like with other Beagles, BeagleY-AI will create a virtual wiredconnection on your computer. To access the board you can use the SSH command as shown below.

Headless connection
===================
If you want to run your BeagleY-AI in headless mode, you need `Raspberry Pi Debug Probe <https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/debug-probe.html>`_ or similar serial adapter.
.. _standalone-connection:
Standalone connection
=====================
To setup your BeagleY-AI for standalone usage, you need the following additional accessories,
Using BeagleY-AI
1. HDMI monitor
=================
2. micro HDMI to full-size HDMI cable
3. Wireless keyboard & mice combo
4. Ethernet cable (Optional)
To setup your BeagleY-AI for normal usage, connect the following:
Make sure you have the sd Card with boot media (software image) inserted in to the BeagleY-AI. Now connect,
1. 5V ≥ 3A power supply
1. microHDMI to BeagleY-AI and full size HDMI to monitor
2. HDMI monitor using micro HDMI to full-size HDMI cable
2. keyboard and mice combo to one of the four USB port of BeagleY-AI
3. Ethernet cable from the board to your router
3. Power supply to USB type-c connector of BeagleY-AI
