Using the AC Adapter
Connect the power adapter to the Intel Compute Stick as shown.

Shut down the Intel Compute Stick using the normal shutdown process for Ubuntu*.

Subsequent power-ups are done by pressing the power button on the side of the Intel Compute Stick.

Using a USB Port
If a television or monitor has an HDMI* port and a USB port, try using the USB port to power the Intel Compute Stick.

The Intel Compute Stick is designed to use up to 10 W of power. If the television's USB port can supply enough power, you can use it to power the Intel Compute Stick. A USB 2.0 port normally supplies 2.5 W of power.

To use the USB port, follow these steps:

1. Plug the micro-USB end of the 3-foot USB cable into the Intel Compute Stick
2. Plug the standard USB end of the cable into the USB port on the TV or monitor, instead of using the AC power plug.

Caution

Don't power the Intel Compute Stick with the AC power adapter and a USB port at the same time.
