Xenarc Powe Through M2-ATX Problems

incudie · 09-30-2007, 07:20 PM

Hey guys/girls,

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. I have an M2-ATX powering an M10000. I am trying to power a Xenarc 700Y screen off of the 12V rail but I think I have a power problem somewhere.

The computer locks up during POST when I have the screen plugged into the rail but if I use a separate power plug for the screen (such as the wall outlet) I have no problems.

I have connected a meter to the outputs on the rail and the voltage stays at 11.95VDC and occasionally drops to 11.94VDC.

Other than motherboard fans this is the only device on the 12V rail.

Any ideas?

Why power it off the PC's PSU?
IF you power it with an igniion-controlled power source, the Xenarc will turn on/off with the ignition. You can do this because Xenarc screens have a built-in 12 volt regulator.
