Quick installation Instructions
The PICOPSU-80 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 form factor.
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.

DC-to-DC connector, center pin / white wire is positive (+).
