+# Starting with ARTIQ
+
+This page describes how to start with ARTIQ system for novice users.
+
+## Connecting wires
+
+In most cases the system is shipped with power bricks (PSU), DC splitters and SFPs enough to power and control the whole system.
+Connect them in following order:
+1. Insert Ethernet SFP into the SFP0 of the master or standalone Kasli/Kasli-SoC (Carrier)
+2. Connect these SFPs to the router or PC via Ethernet cable (in some cases, optical cable)
+3. Insert optic/direct attach SFPs into the master and satellite Carriers, respective to the numeration, [more info in DRTIO page](drtio.md)
+4. Power on PSU or EEM power module, by inserting C14 cable, attach DC splitters if available
+5. Some cards may have "External power" setting (check the quotation), in this case, insert DC connector into the port
+6. Insert remaining cables into the Carriers (not applicable in case of EEM Power Module).
+
+## Set the network
+
+By default standalone/master Carriers arrive with 192.168.1.75/24 set as their static address. Carrier will try to acquire this address
+from your router, and in case of failure, they will be just unavailable from the network. Check the following articles for troubleshooting network issues:
+* [Networking](networking.md)
+* [Official docs](https://m-labs.hk/artiq/manual/installing.html#setting-up-the-core-device-ip-networking)
+
+## Run first experiment via artiq_run
+
+Before diving in to the repository experiments management and scheduling, it is essential to try run your first experiment
+via most basic way - `artiq_run`. For this you need to enter your ARTIQ environment (console) and run:
+```shell
+artiq_run --device-db path/to/device_db.py path/to/experiment.py
+```
+
+In case your directory contains relevant `device_db` file, you may omit the `--device-db path/to/device_db.py` part.
+To check this, you may run `ls .` and check if it is in the list.
+
+On pre-installed NUCs, the ARTIQ commands are available everywhere, and you just need to run them.
+If you have Nix package manager or NixOS, you will just need to enter the shell with `nix develop github:m-labs/artiq\?ref=release-7`.
+If you have installed ARTIQ with Conda, you will need to activate the environment with `conda activate <name of the environment with ARTIQ>`.
+
+You may check for experiments in the [official docs](https://m-labs.hk/artiq/manual/getting_started_core.html).
