HS/FS pico-PSU

[Warichet]

Hello,

I got my PicoPSU, but no doc in the box.
The device is slightly different as the one from the the picture
Can someone help me with a doc, drawing or whatever assembly instructions ?
Thanks

Hello,

Finally, I have my HS running like before.... it took some time
Thank you for your help

That is the one I regularly use:

The ATX cable is not necessary.

Hi Matthias,

It's good to have you on-line

Thanks for the picture.
When looking at it, you see 3 small pictures on the left.
The 3rd picture is Exactly what I've got
The second picture shows the installation, but this is not on a "kleine zwarzie" , some components are rotated 1/4 turn.
It is probably a EPIA 800A or higher level with a VIA C3, mine is probably an EPIA 500 with VIA C3, 533 Mhz

So, if I buy another kit, chances are it will be the same as the one I've.

Any idea ?

Your black HS 2 (Net) may have this http://cdn.viaembedded.com/eol_produ...anual_v1.2.pdf mainboard.

• Plug in the yellow 20-pin-PSU into the ATX connector on the board,
• connect the white PATA-connector to your DOM,
• don't use the black and small white plug,
• connect your external power supply to the jack,

and you're done.

Hi Matthias,


Any idea ?

I will send a picture of my installation of picoPSU, and you one of your board I have seen "millions" of HS2 and HS3 from the inside, a pico psu will always work.

Hi Taxus,
Long time, no seen

Your black HS 2 (Net) may have this http://cdn.viaembedded.com/eol_produ...anual_v1.2.pdf mainboard.

Yeh, that is my beloved HS2

To start, I ripped out the cable network

Plug in the yellow 20-pin-PSU into the ATX connector on the board, .

OK. That was an easy one

connect the white PATA-connector to your DOM,.

You lost me.
- PATA: that is a big, 4 wire connector (red, black, black, yellow, usually for disks) ?
- DOM: Disk on module ? here it goes about the Flash, with a tiny 2 pin connector ?
Do I need to remove cables from the big, yellow connector ?

don't use the black and small white plug

OK

connect your external power supply to the jack

Wire is 20cm too short

and you're done.

Mmm, I love that sentence

Thank you for your patience with a dummy

Hi Taxus, Long time, no seen

Yepp. And now you called for help, so here I am .

- PATA: that is a big, 4 wire connector (red, black, black, yellow, usually for disks) ?

Yes. For drives like floppy, CD-ROM, IDE-HDD used in the early times of personal computing .

- DOM: Disk on module ? here it goes about the Flash, with a tiny 2 pin connector ?

Yes. The DOM was connected by an adapter cable 4-pin (PATA, white) <-> 2-pin (tiny).
Just reuse the old one.

Do I need to remove cables from the big, yellow connector ?

No .

Wire is 20cm too short

A pair of pliers will do the job. Cut off the jack of the picoPSU and connect the wires to the original cable. Solder the wires or use Wago 221-412 e.g.

OK, thanks

I've done my home work, picture attached, I think it should be OK
and indeed, it is simple
I would apreciate your comments
