Nanopi Zero2: What to do before booting

Moderators: chensy, FATechsupport

Hi:
I ordered a NanoPi Zero2 from https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=834624752423 (the official shop as far as I can tell).
The device arrived pre-assembled, but I'm not sure if I should just boot up.

Questions:
1. Is there a guide? I'm only aware of https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/inde ... noPi_Zero2 but I couldn't find assembly questions there.
2. There is a thermal pad in the box. Am I supposed to install that or is it a spare part? The cables from the WiFi module are installed nicely and I'd rather not remove the device from its case.
3. I cannot tell whether the eMMC I ordered is installed. I suppose that will be obvious once I boot, but it would be nice to do a quick visual check anyway.
Wiki is ok
The link to your device doesnt work without password but it is not a problem.
In my opiniom you have to use ethernet connection or use pins for console to connect.
To check emmc you can use fdisk -l command to see all cards like sd and emmc
