Please follow the steps to enable the MSI Power Link function:
Connect the mini PC to a monitor that supports the Power Link function using an HDMI cable (version 1.2 or higher). Ensure you use the HDMI port labeled "Power Link."
Verify that MSI Power Link is enabled in the desktop BIOS, and make sure "HDMI CEC" is enabled in the monitor’s OSD menu.
Ensure MSI Power Link is enabled in MSI Center.
