Technical Reference

2.2.2.3Power Supply Connectors

The board has the following power supply connectors:

•External Power Supply – the board can be powered through a 19 V DC connector on the back panel. The back panel DC connector is compatible with a 5.5 mm/OD (outer diameter) and 2.5 mm/ID (inner diameter) plug, where the inner contact is +19 (±10%) V DC and the shell is GND. The maximum current rating is 10 A.

•Internal Power Supply – the board can alternatively be powered via the internal 19 V DC 1 x 2 power connector, where pin 1 is GND and pin 2 is +19 (±10%) VDC. The internal 1 x 2 power connector is a Molex 5566-2 header which accepts a Molex 5557-02R connector from the power supply.
