=== fitlet USB power behavior ===
Some ports designed to keep USB power during low power state:
# Two back panel ports: On during S0, Off during S3-S5
# Front panel ports: On during S0-S5
# Combo port (not on MintBox mini): On during S0 only
Power states:
* S0 - active<br>
* S3 - sleep<br>
* S4 - hibernate<br>
* S5 - Shut down (SW off)<br>
=== Why I get black screen when powering up Barebone fitlet? ===
You must install RAM first to get display signal from fitlet.
=== Which power supplies can power the fitlet? ===
fitlet bundle comes with external AC/DC wall power supply, providing unregulated 10–15Vdc input voltage range, 12Vdc nominal. However, any power supply able to supply 36W output 12VDC @ 3A source will be fine.
=== Pigtail unterminated DC cable ===
Pigtail DC cable - unterminated on one end and on the other uses standard 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel plug with mechanical twist-lock.<br>
Can be used with IPC2, Intense PC, fit-PC4/3 and fitlet computers.

=== What are power capabilities of fitlet USB ports? ===
=== Will fitlet run off-the-shelf, common apps under Windows 7 and Linux? I read in a few places that Linux on Media boxes could leave users very disappointed, even if they get the desktop environ up, because of the few apps that run on SoCs ===
fitlet is a VERY standard PC in that respect. All Windows and Linux applications should be 100% compatible. <br /><br />Where are the "gotcha's" with other small systems?<br />Architecture (mostly ARM) - fitlet is AMD x86. <br />Non-standard BIOS - fitlet has AMI BIOS with both UEFI and legacy support. <br />Insufficient RAM - fitlet supports up to 8 gb<br />Insufficient storage / no SATA - fitlet has mSATA up to 1 TB or so. <br />Limited graphics, no DirectX / openGL - this was in fact a limitation with fit-PC2, but fitlet has Radeon built-in. <br /><br />Bottom line - performance might not always be high, but compatibility is perfect.
=== Does ''FreeBSD'' run on fitlet? ===
Note: The issue appeared on both ESXi 5.5 and 6.0 (VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.5.0.update02-2068190.x86_64.iso).
It is also reported that VMware ESXi v6.5 operate with fitlet NICs with no issues whatsoever.
=== What are the supported boot modes? ===
