Chapter 4. Power supply
The NetVista small form factor desktop model computer uses a 110-watt power 
supply.  The NetVista desktop model computer uses a 155-watt power supply.  The 
power supply provides power for the Pentium III microprocessor, core chip set, and 
PCI adapters.  Also included is an auxiliary 5-volt (AUX 5) supply to provide power to 
power-management circuitry and the Wake on LAN feature.  The power supply 
converts the ac input voltage into five dc output voltages and provides power for the 
following:   
• System board
• Memory card
• Adapters
• Internal drives
• Keyboard and auxiliary devices
• USB devices
A logic signal on the power connector controls the power supply; the front panel 
switch is not directly connected to the power supply.
The power supply connects to the system board with a 2-pin by 10-pin connector.
Power input
The following tables show the power-input specifications for the 155-watt and 110-watt 
power supplies.     
Power output
The power supply outputs shown in the following figures include the current-supply 
capability of all the connectors, including system board, direct access storage drive 
(DASD), PCI, and auxiliary outputs.
