The two editions of Xbox Series X and S were launched in November 2020. The Xbox Series X or S Console set-up requires essential instructions. Before the set-up, one needs to work out the arrangement of Xbox products and specific measures. Once done, one can move ahead with the Xbox Series X or S Console setup process. Also, one needs to download system updates related to the set-up.
Measures to take before getting started
First, the TV will deliver better picture and video resolution. Xbox Series S can be configured only with a 1440p screen, whereas X is compatible with UHD-4K. So, before starting, one should check the configuration of their TV. Then, in case a user thinks that his/her new controller is not working, the user can use old consoles. The Xbox Series S and X have 512 GB and 1 TB storage. Any expansion is possible by a 1 TB Seagate drive. Also, there should be a proper arrangement of products. Both products need a well-ventilated space that is away from direct heat sources. To ensure adequate ventilation, one needs to keep a gap of 4-6 inch space of clearance.
Connecting Power and TV
To start Xbox Series X or S console set-up, follow the instructions given below:
- Connect the power cable to the power cable port on the console. One can recognize it by a single dot.
- Plug the power cable into a power outlet.
- Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the console. One can identify with a single dash.
- Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to your TV-port. Note that the Xbox Series X console comes with an Ultra High-Speed HDMI cable.
- To turn on the console, press the power button available in the Xbox X and S. It is present on the front side of the console.
Xbox Mobile App
After process completion, one should switch on Xbox Mobile App. The App integration fastens the Xbox Series X or S console set-up. One should install the app if it is not present on the device. It is available in both Google Play and Apple App stores. Once installed, search for “Set up a console.” A code will appear on the TV screen. Enter the code to start the set-up action. Tap on CONNECT TO CONSOLE. After a while, the app will connect with the console. Prompt actions will come to let the user add language, location, and render permissions. After all, this is done, the Xbox App will notify the user about the connection status of the Xbox app with the console.
Configuring the Console
A diagram of your controller will appear on the TV-screen. One can turn it on by pressing and holding the Guide button that is available on the Xbox console. If it does not connect with the console, one can press and hold the sync button present on the controller and console. Another prompt action will flash to press the “A” button present in the console. Now the update controller option will appear. Push it to start the update. After the update is over, click on the Next option. The Take Me Home will complete the entire Xbox Series X or S Console set-up.
Setting Up without Xbox App
The user can do Xbox Series X or S console set-up without the intervention of the Xbox mobile app. Except for the last two sections, all the steps will remain the same. They deal with the integration and connectivity process. The user will have to skip the actions related to Xbox App. Instead, a manual alternative lies ahead that needs the user’s Microsoft account. In case the user is using an ethernet connection in place of a Wi-Fi network, more manual steps get added. The entire process becomes more time-consuming.
Conclusion
The Xbox Series X or S Console set-up is simple and easy-to-follow. To ensure a better Xbox gaming experience, going with the right steps of the set-up will save time. Also, the pre-process measures of Xbox Series X or S Console set-up will enhance the durability of the product.
