Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Product Guide

CAUTION

The external 19 VDC jack is the primary power input connector of Intel Desktop Board DH61AG. However, the Desktop Board also provides an internal 1 x 2 power connector that can used be with a target system that already has an internal power supply.

There is no isolation circuitry between the external 19 VDC jack and the internal 1 x 2 power connector. It is the system integrator’s responsibility to ensure that no more than one power supply unit is or can be attached to the board at any time and to ensure that the external 19 VDC jack is covered if the internal 1 x 2 power connector is to be used. A plastic cover is included with the Desktop Board for this purpose.

Simultaneous connection of both external and internal power supply units may result in damage to the desktop board, power supplies, or other hardware.
