This page has instructions for upgrading the 300 watt power supply in an MK150B-54 series computer to a 500 watt power supply.
- Begin by removing the two lid screws – one on each short side of the case.
- Remove 4x screws from the power supply. Discard the larger 2 screws from the left holes.
- Pull the lid back 2″ and lift it up
- Remove 2 screws from the crossmember. Cut all zip ties along the crossmember.
- Lift the crossmember out
- Remove 2 screws from the back of the power supply
- Unplug the Molex connector for the drives
- Squeeze the locking tabs and pull the power cables out.
- Lift the power supply out of the case.
- Watch out for any zip ties that may still be holding it. Cut them if needed.
- Remove and save the 24pin to 4pin adapter
- Leave the system sitting on a flat surface for this next step.
- Remove the 5mm standoffs from where the power supply was screwed in.
- Keeping the system sitting flat on a surface, drop in the new power supply.
- Re-install the standoffs in the back. They will hold the power supply in place.
- Install the 2 coarse thread screws into the back of the power supply.
