# Armbian H3 mini FAQ -- 5.06
**Important to know**
- 1st boot takes longer (up to 5 minutes). Please do not interrupt while the red LED is blinking, the board reboots automatically one time and the green LED starts to blink when ready
- our [User documentation](http://www.armbian.com/documentation/) (one exception currently: use _h3disp_ to adjust display settings)
- our [Geek documentation](http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/) (in case you want to build your own images)
- CPU frequency settings are 648-1200 MHz on OPi One/Lite and 480-1296 MHz on the other boards (cpufreq governor is _interactive_ therefore the board only increases CPU speed and consumption when needed)
- In case you experience instabilities check your SD card using `armbianmonitor -c $HOME` and think about installing [RPi-Monitor for H3](http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/03/17/rpi-monitor-is-a-web-based-remote-monitor-for-arm-development-boards-such-as-raspberry-pi-and-orange-pi/) to get an idea whether you suffer from overheating (`sudo armbianmonitor -r` will install everything needed)
- In case you're unsure whether to test a desktop or CLI image simply try out the GUI version since you can always get 'CLI behaviour' by running `sudo update-rc.d -f nodm disable` later (this disables the start of X windows and desktop images behave like those made for headless use afterwards. If you're experienced you could also reclaim disk space by removing the `libxfce4util-common` package and doing an `apt-get autoremove` later)
- especially for desktop images the speed of your SD card matters. If possible try to use our _nand-sata-install_ script to move the rootfs away from SD card. The script also works with USB disks flawlessly ([some background information](http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/793-moving-to-harddisk/))
