=== Which power supplies can power the Airtop? ===
Airtop bundle comes with external AC/DC wall power supply, providing unregulated 19Vdc @ 13.15A max input. However, any power supply able to supply ~250W from 19Vdc source will be fine.
=== What are power capabilities of Airtop USB ports? ===
Each VBUS pair supplied via onboard power switch with current limit settings of 2.1A5A, meaning either each VBUS capable sourcing up to 1.05A 25A in case two bus powered devices connected, or sourcing 2.1A 5A in case single bus powered device connected.
=== USB ports power behavior ===
=== Digital Display Interfaces ===
Airtop features 3 digital display interfaces, 2x HDMI and 1x DisplayPort, capable driving 3 independent displays up to 4K resolution. During boot stage 2 of 3 displays are active, and can be set in BIOS. Default outputs are HDMI1 and HDMI2. When OS has been loaded the third display become operational as well.
Refer to [http://www.fit-pc.com/wiki/index.php/IPC2_BIOS_guide#System_Agent_.28SA.29_Configuration System Agent (SA) Configuration] in [[Airtop BIOS Guide]] to setup Airtop display operation
Notes:
* DisplayPort is not multiplexed with HDMI port on the silicon therefore only During boot stage 2 of 3 displays are active adapter will work for DP-to-HDMI conversion, and can be set in BIOS. Default outputs are HDMI1 and HDMI2. When OS has been loaded the third display becomes operational as well.
=== Airtop serial ports ===
Airtop features three RS232 serial ports, one full signal set and two other 2-wire Tx/Rx signals only.

Operating notes:
# Operating system can be a factor. We recommend to test the ports under Linux Mint 17 or Windows 7
# The operation can be dependent on devices connected, as the ports are not identical
# Port #1 operated by Embedded Controller which is part of Intel architecture and fully under Intel control. It might not support specific devices.
# Usually 2-wire serial interface uses very basic, relatively slow and not too immune communication but it is very simple to use. Not all devices can communicate via 2-wire serial interface.
# The most reliable RS232 serial communication is the one uses full signal set or at least 4-wire, data (Tx/Rx) and flow control signals (CTS/RTS).
