3.0 VoomPC installation steps
1) Install the motherboard on the base plate using four screws. (See figure 1.0)
2) Install the 2.5” hard drive (see area B). Place the 4 silicone rubber shock absorbent
pads over the hard drive mounting holes. Fasten the hard drive using 4 undercut M3
screws attached from the bottom. (See figure 1.1)
3) Attach a 44-40 pin IDE cable to the hard drive and motherboard.
4) Attach the M1-ATX or M2 ATX power supply over the hard drive, using the remaining
standoffs. (See figure 1.0)
5) Connect the ATX cable harness provided with your power supply to the motherboard.
Use small tie-wraps to manage the ATX cable harness in order to improve the air flow.
6) Connect the Red / Black / White (terminated in fastons connectors) to the power
supply. Red is un-switched battery, white is switched battery (ignition) and Black is GND.
TIP: Usually the switched battery (ignition) is present on your cigarette lighter or most of
your 12V power wires. Un-switched battery, harder to find, is present on your alarm
system or other ‘always on’ electronics. Use a volt-meter to detect switched vs un-
switched wires. If hard to find, connect directly to the battery. Make sure you have firm
and sturdy contacts to the car’s power system.
NOTE: If you purchased the M1-ATX separately, you will not need the extra Faston wire
assemblies provided with the unit.
