one of three different sources. The first uses the
+5V on pin 9 of the computer’s 15-pin HD video
connector (VESA standard). If the computer or
video cable does not provide power to the
DA103-107/110, then the second option obtains
power from the computer’s USB port if available.
The video cable provided with the DA103-107/110
has a USB connector on one end for use with this
option. If there is no USB port available, the third
option is to use the +9V adapter.
