#1 external power on switch
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2007 9:05 pm
Alright, I've got a problem I'm facing and I'm looking for options/suggestions here...
I've got a case where I've got 3 computers that are located behind panels in a boat that need to be powered on for navigation, etc on the boat. But the issue is having to pull panels every time you want to turn them on. So I need to figure out a way to wire them so I could power each on with a switch, be it a switch molded into the dash, or something like that. Trying to isolate them on their own fuse or power bar isn't an option really. And since the boat gets more or less constant power to some degree or other, neither is the startup on power option in most bios.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
