It does not matter which item you use to boot the Raspberry Pi 4B, but you do need at least a micro-SD card.
The first thing you will need to do is to format the micro-SD card or theh SSD. I have a Windows 10 machine so all my instructions will assume you are using a Windows 10 OS.

Before you can format a SSD you first need to initialize the media. On Window 10 "Right-click" on the startup menu in the lower left corner of your desktop. Choose the "Disk Management" option. The "Disk Management" tool will automatically ask you if you want to initialize the new disk drive. Say "Yes". When Windowns is done exit the "Disk Management" Tool. Now you need to create a primary partition for the SSD. Since we will be creating a Primary partition of FAT32 larger tahn 32GB we can not use the Windows 10 "Disk Management" Tool to do this.

I like to use the program ["MiniTool Partion Wizard", so click here](https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html). As a home user you can download it and use it for free. Download and Install the software onto your computer. With the MiniTool Partion Wizard you will need to create a primary partion by choosing "Disk & Partition Management" square. Choose the new dist drive and select "Create a partition". Set "Create As" field to "Primary", set "File System" as "FAT32" and accept default for everthing else. Select "Ok". Now all that did was place the command into the que you need to tell the software to go ahead and Select "Apply" to get the software to actual execute the command. Once MiniTool Partion Wizard is done creating the Primary Partion you can format the SSD by choosing the "Format Partition" and set the "File System" field to "FAT32". Leave all other fields at the default. Select "OK" and "Apply". When MiniTool Partion Wizrd is finished you can exit the software for closing out the window.

For a micro-SD card, all you need to do is place the mico-SD card into an adapter that will allow your Window 10 machine to read the micro-SD card. I need a micro-SD card to USB reader. You can use windows to format the micro-SD card by opening Windows file explorer [Win Key]+[E key] select "This PC" now right-click on the micro-SD card and choose "Format". Set the "File System" field to "FAT32" and click "Start".

Once the micro-SD card (or SSD drive) is formated for FAT32 you are ready to burn the image of raspberry pi OS lite onto the media. First you need to download the image of [Raspberry Pi OS Lite, by click here](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/). Select "Download" next to the item listed as "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" and save the file onto your local disk drive. Remember where you put it because you will need to navigate to the image file in the next step. Before moving onto the next step take the time now to UnZip the folder so you will be able to access the *.img file.

Before moving onto the next step take the time now to UnZip the folder so you will be able to access the image (*.img) file.
Once the download is complete, you will need a program called ["Balena Etcher", so click her](https://www.balena.io/etcher/). Select "Download for Windows (x86|x64)" and save the file to your disk drive. Install the "Balena Etcher" software on to your computer.

Open Ethcher and choose "Select Image". You now have to navigate to the directory of where you stored the image of "Raspberry Pi OS Lite", the name of the file for my "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" was "2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.img". Now choose the "Select Drive". Since you formatted the micro-SD card (or the SSD) the media should have been assigned a disk drive letter. Ensure you have selected the correct drive letter. You do not want to overwrite the wrong drive letter. Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for anyone who over writes their main disk drive for their computer system. Double check that you select the correct drive letter and that it matches the one for you micro-SD card (or the SSD) you will be using with your Raspberry Pi 4B. Once you are sure you have selected the correct drive letter, now select "Flash!". Ether might give you a warning especially if you are flashing to a SSD, just again ensure you have the correct drive letter and when you are sure tell Etcher "yes or proceed". Etcher will then take the *.img file and write it to the media. After the Etcher is finished it will automatically dismount the media from your computer. So unplug the USB connector to the micro-SD card (or SSD) and plug it back into your USB port.

We now have to add a file to the micro-SD card (or SSD). This file is an empty file you just need to create the filename "SSH". I usually just right-click inside the Window Explorer folder for the micro-SD card (or SSD) and choose the option of "New" -> "Text docuement". I assign the name SSH and remove the extension ".txt". This is a very impartant step the file CAN NOT have a file extension. The file must be named "SSH" or "ssh" without an extension. The empty ssh file will tell the "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" operating system to enable the SSH sever automatically upon first boot up.

Once you have added the ssh file to the contents of the micro-SD card (or SSD) it is now time to dismount the media from your computer and plug the media into the Raspberry Pi 4B so it can boot up (of course you need to ensure you also connect a power supply to the Raspberry Pi 4B). Once you have plugged in the micro-SD card (or SSD) to the Raspberry Pi, and connect an hardwire ethernet cable to the ethernet port, turn on the power supply and allow it to boot up.

The Raspberry Pi OS will look to see if a micro-SD card is present, if a micro-SD card is present it will try to boot off the micro-SD card. But if a micro-SD card is not present, it will start to look for another media to boot from and this is when it will find the Solid state drive. So for those of you that want to use the SSD as the main boot device make sure that the micro-SD card reader of your Rapberry Pi is empty when you have the SSD attached to the USB 3.0 port.

The Raspberry Pi will boot and then be assigne an IP address on your network. We need to know the IP address so we can remotely login to the Raspberry Pi. On a Windows 10 OS open up a command prompt window, and type the command "ping raspberrypi.local -4". Since this is a fresh install of the Raspberry Pi, all Raspberry Pi are assigned a hostname of raspberrypi after the intial boot. The default login information is username is "pi" and password is "raspberry". After you perform the windows cmd "ping raspberrypi.local -4". The ping command will display an IP address that it trasmitted at least 4 packets too. Write down the IP address that recieved those packets. This is the IP address of your new raspberry pi.

To setup Klipper on the new raspberry pi you will need to remotely login into the raspberry pi via ssh. To do this you need another software package called ["Putty", click here](https://www.putty.org/). Install the software on your computer. Now run Putty and enter in the IP address (in the Host Name field) you saw in the "ping raspberrypi.local -4" command. Leave the Port number set to 22. Now hit "Open". You should see a window that pops up that says something about the authorization key has not been stored..." just say you trust the device. You will then get the login prompt. Enter in "pi" for the username and "raspberry" for the password.

If you get the "connect rejected" message then when you place the empty ssh file in the file folder of the boot media you either misspelled the filename or left the ".txt" extension on the filename. You can fix the "connect rejected" message by powering off the Raspberry pi; removing the boot media from the Raspberry Pi; reattach the boot media to your computer and double check the empty ssh filename is "ssh" only; then reattach the boot media to the Raspberry pi and reboot again.
