The Sidekicker is capable of being powered from  
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.
