Installing The Power Supply - TYAN TOMCAT K8SH Manual

Besides being used primarily to connect printers, the Printer Port is also used for devices
such as Zip drive, some external CD-RW drives and or other external devices. More on
the uncommon side these days are the Serial Ports. They were primarily used to connect
external modems, but most modems today are using USB or are installed internally.
TIP: While the ports have been created to accept connectors in only one direction, make
sure to be careful when inserting connectors. At times, attaching connectors in the
incorrect orientation can damage, bend and or break the pins.
2.24 – Installing the Power Supply
We suggest using a 400W or higher power supply; this is of course dependent on how
many devices you attach. A 400W is sufficient for systems without many devices (i.e. 1
hard drive, 1 optical drive, and 1 or 2 expansion cards) however a higher wattage solution
may be needed if the system is fully loaded. Look to the
further information.
NOTE: The S3850 Tomcat K8SH peripheral drive power connector must be independent
of any other devices. A device such as a DVD/CD-ROM drive, hard drive, or any other
devices cannot be attached onto the same power line. If connected, system stability is
compromised.
