Notes: 
1.  Power requirement estimated for 80% VR efficiency. 
2.  56% utilization for USB3 refers to current draw of 100 mA on port 1 and 900 mA on port 2; an 
additional 1 A for controller power is then added to this ratio. 
3.  58% utilization for back panel USB2 refers to current draw of 500 mA on port 3 and 1.0 A on port. 
4.  36% utilization for internal USB2 headers refers to current draw of 100 mA on ports 5-8 and 500 mA on 
port 9. 
5.  20% utilization for Half-Mini Card refers to ~1 W Wi-Fi card power consumption. 
6.  40% utilization for Full-Mini Card refers to ~2 W misc card power consumption. 
7.  29% utilization for SATA refers to ~5 W slim ODD and ~2.5 W HDD (2.5”) power consumption.
