Hardware Installation

DC-in 12V / Optional 4-pin ATX 12V Power

DC-in 12V

This jack provides maximum of 60W power and is considered a low power solu-
tion. Connect a DC power cord to this jack. Use a power adapter with 12V ±5%
input. Using a voltage higher than the recommended one may fail to boot the
system or cause damage to the system board.

ATX 12V Power (optional)

This optional connector provides 100W to 150W power and is capable of provid-
ing the maximum power requirement. The recommended system configuration
includes a high speed CPU (more than 1GHz), HDD, CD-ROM, USB devices and
an add-in card.

Important:
Every power supply has its minimum load of power. If you use a greater
than 150W power supply, the power consumed by the system board may
not attain its minimum load causing instability to the entire system.
