User Guide for Intel® Compute Stick STCK1A32WFC

Plug the Intel® Compute Stick directly into a standard HDMI port on a television or monitor.

The Intel® Compute Stick extends about 4 inches (102 mm) out from the HDMI port.

If space is limited around the HDMI port, use the flexible HDMI extender cable that came in the box.

2. Plug the male end of the extender cable into the HDMI port on the television or monitor (B).

To use the AC Adapter

Connect the power adapter to the Intel® Compute Stick as shown. 

Shut down the Intel Compute Stick with the normal shutdown process for Windows* 8.1.

To power-up the device again, press the power button on the side of the Intel Compute Stick.

To use the USB Port

If a television or monitor has an HDMI port and a USB port, use the USB port to power the Intel Compute Stick.

Intel Compute Sticks are 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.

Try to power the Intel Compute Stick with a USB port:

1. Connect the small end of a 3-foot USB cable into the power connector on the Intel Compute Stick.
2. Plug the standard USB end of the cable into the USB port on the TV or monitor, instead of plugging it into the AC power plug.

Caution

Do not power Intel Compute Sticks with an AC power adapter and a USB port at the same time.

If the USB port does not supply enough power, these are the likely symptoms:

• It will not turn on.
• It turns on, but does not complete the boot process.
• It turns on, but the operating system does not load.
• It turns on and the operating system loads, but it performs very slowly, reboots, or locks up.

• USB wireless keyboard and mouse, with a USB dongle.
