Step-by-step guide

Insert the Raspberry Compute Module 3 on its horizontal socket and gently press it until snaps into the final position as shown below:

If you have an USB to serial adapter insert its pins as shown below to have access to the serial console port.

The serial setup is 115200,N,8,1 without software and hardware acknowledge.

Connect the power supply lines in a range of 12 to 24 volt DC using the screw terminals as pictured below. The blue led will turn-on to indicate the power availability:

If you have the serial console wired the boot messages will appear on your serial terminal emulator. If you don't have the console port check the led on the ethernet connector to see if there is any activities and try to reach your board by typing:

ping raspberrypi.local

Unfortunately the standard Rasbian distribution has the ssh disabled by default so, if you don't have the serial console port you need to enable it placing the microSD on a normal Raspberry Pi and using:

raspi-config

If you have the serial port type this command and follow the info to enable the remote SSH access.

Run you SSH client on your PC and connect to pi@raspberrypi.local using the standard user and password:

Login: pi
Password: raspberry

Refer to the official Raspberry Pi doc to know how to use ssh with Raspberry Pi:
