This jack provides maximum of 100W/120W power and is considered a low power solution.
Connect a DC power cord to this jack. Use a power adapter with 12V (for BE171) or 19~24V
(for BE173) DC output voltage. Using a voltage higher than the recommended one may fail to
boot the system or cause damage to the system board.
The 12V (for BE171) or 19~24V (for BE173) DC-in jack on the system board co-lays with a
4-pin power connector (optional) as the figure displayed below.
