If the Intel Compute Stick is plugged into the HDMI port of a TV or display that also has a USB
port, there MAY be enough power on the USB port to power it. To do this, plug the micro-USB
end of the 3-foot USB cable into the Intel Compute Stick and the standard USB end of the
cable into the USB port on the TV (instead of using the AC power plug).
A USB 2.0 port normally only supplies 2.5W of power. The Intel Compute Stick is designed to
use up to 10W of power. If the television’s USB port can supply enough power, the Intel
Compute Stick can be powered. WARNING: Do not power the Intel Compute Stick with the
AC power adapter and via a USB port at the same time.
If the television USB port does not supply sufficient power, these are the likely symptoms
you’ll see with the Intel Compute Stick:
Will not power on.
Will power on, but will not complete the boot process.
Will power on, but the operating system will not load.
Will power on and the operating system will load, but will perform very slowly, reboot, or
lock up.
Connect a Keyboard and Mouse
Intel Compute Stick supports any of the following:
USB wireless keyboard and mouse, using a USB dongle.
USB wired keyboard and mouse, using a USB hub.
Bluetooth* keyboard and mouse.
o Follow the instructions that came with the keyboard and mouse to pair them to the
Intel Compute Stick’s onboard Bluetooth device.
o Notes: You may need to temporarily connect a wired mouse/keyboard to the Intel
Compute Stick in order to pair Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth devices that pair
directly to the onboard Bluetooth do not work during POST or in BIOS.
