Quick installation Instructions

The PICOPSU-150-XT has been specifically designed for the Mini-ITX form
factor, thus eliminating the need for ATX power cables. It is also 1U compliant –
height will not exceed 1U formfactor.

1) After the picoPSU module was ‘snapped in’, hook the hard drive power or
floppy power to your floppy/hard drives. If more hard drives or floppy connectors
are needed, use a HDD/floppy “Y” splitter cable.

2) Connect a 12 VDC power adapter (or any 12V source) to the DC-to-DC
connector, center pin / white wire is positive (+).

3) Turn on the PC using the motherboard ON/OFF switch

Typical configuration

The picoPSU-150-XT has been tested with all mini-ITX board under virtually any
disk/floppy/CDROM/PCI configuration. Additionally, the PICOPSU-150-XT can
power boards that require 4 pin 12V aux power connector to be used with
processors with TDP ranging from 35 to 65watts.

Removing the picoPSU-150-XT

In order to remove the picoPSU you must release the power connector latch and
then remove the unit. Gently lift the picoPSU out from the ATX connector, by
grabbing from the picoPSU PCB, not from components or the wire harness.
