2. USB 3.0 Ports (Type A)
Connect external USB 3.0 devices.
3. HDMI Output Port
Connect a display device.
4. Antenna Ports (for the Manifold 2-G only)
Mount the Wi-Fi antennas to the ports to access the Internet via Wi-Fi. Make sure that the two
antennas are vertical to each other or towards to the signal source. DO NOT block the antennas
with metal objects.
5. Power Ports
Connect an external power source to supply power for the Manifold 2. The ports are standard XT30
ports with an input voltage of 13.2 - 27 V for the Manifold 2-G and 15.2 - 27 V for the Manifold 2-C
and are independent from each other. When connecting power sources to both ports, the Manifold
2 will automatically choose the power source with a higher voltage.
6. Power Indicator
The indicator is on when the Manifold 2 is connected to a power source, and off when
disconnected.
7. USB 3.0 Port (Micro-B)
This port on the Manifold 2-G allows it to be used as both a host and a device. Use it as a host by
connecting a USB device using the OTG cable. Use it as a device for image backup and system
recovery or as a regular USB 3.0 device by connecting it to a host using a Micro USB cable.
This port on the Manifold 2-C allows the Manifold 2-C to be used as a host only. Connect the OTG
cable to the Manifold 2-C and then connect a USB device to the other end of the OTG cable.
