need help wiring a M3-ATX-HV to 2000 honda civic lx

im gonna be doing a carputer soon im planning out the parts and how to wire it all first

in the pdf manual for M3-ATX-HV which is the psu for the carputer.

it says

Power Input Connectors (right side)
Red Battery + (positive, un-switched battery)
Black Battery - (negative)
White Ignition (To start connect to Battery +).

white wire goes to the switched 12v power source. Typically this goes to what is known as ACC, it depends on which vehicle you have but that wire should be located near the steering column. See your service manual for wiring schematics.

On a side note make sure that if you are connecting the carputer straight to the battery make sure that the positive side is fused so you dont blow **** up or start a fire.
