Press the flashdisk downward onto connector USB3.

8.5 Power Routing
A +5VDC/+12VDC source can be connected to the Altair SBC power connector. An ATX power supply can be
used to power the Altair SBC along with the stock cables.
There is also a 3.0V lithium battery mounted on the board to provide the RTC voltage to the CMOS/RTC on Altair.
The battery is a CR-2354/GUN or equivalent type with 3 pins.
The +5VDC/+12VDC power source is interfaced to the board on the locking connector J24. The +5VDC is used
by the Altair SBC for all its power subsystems. The +12VDC is used for the LVDS panel backlight inverter.
