Internal power supply
When using the internal power supply, connector (4) is used by an ATX power supply unit.
However, the ATX power supply unit will not start until it receives a request to do so. To do this, a
circuit must be closed, either by a cable bridge, whereby pin 14 (20-pin plug) or pin 16 (24-pin plug)
must be closed to earth in order to close the circuit. Attention: Colours may vary if the standard is
not adhered to. Alternatively, an ATX test cable can be used.
Octopus NET mini ITX cannot control the ATX power supply unit. The power supply unit must run and
supply power, the connection for the power button is only used to switch the Octopus Net mini ITX
on and off.
The pin strip (3) has the following configuration and can be used as a supplement if required.
