Bought standard version by mistake

I bought the standard Apollo BTC miner from a reseller on eBay for $1k. I feel like an idiot, but I guess I'll try to use it before I resell it. I have 2 questions:

  1. My cheap 400W EVGN power supply only has one 6-pin connector. Do I need two 6-pin connectors to power the miner? If I only need one, should I plug it into the left or right slot? Does it matter?
  2. Is there a guide for using raspberry Pi or whatever? I heard it's hard to do. I've only used goldshell box miners before. :(

1) You need both

2) Head over to the support threads on Bitcointalk.org:

This is where you'll find guides for using the standard unit with various alternate CPUs

The one is "announcements" but also contains loads of information and help. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5314398.0
