Setting Up 14.5 - 15.6" Devices

For devices larger than 14 inches in length, the AC-MINI can be configured by adjusting the device shelf. The factory default position (Position 1) is suitable for Chromebooks, iPads, tablets, and Netbooks. Position 2 is designed for 14.5" to 15.6" Laptops.

To accommodate larger laptops:

• Open the front doors and slide them into the cabinet.
• Locate and remove the 4mm hex bolts from the left and right sides of the device shelf.
• Slide the shelf back until the Position 2 holes are visible.
• Verify your device fits properly in this new position and re-install the hex bolts.

Power Requirements

The electrical system is designed to handle a maximum of 15 Amps.

If your devices use 95-watt AC Adapters or higher, you may need to reduce the total number of devices to avoid overloading your circuit breaker. Review your power adapter requirements:

• Note: If the total wattage exceeds 15 Amps (approximately 1500 Watts) at one time, the charging system may not operate correctly. Calculate your total wattage by multiplying your device's AC Adapter wattage by 12.

For devices with 150W adapters, it is recommended to use fewer than 12 devices to stay within the 1400W limit.
