Installation Steps
Note: Make sure that your system is turned off and unplugged.
Disconnect the AC power cord from your old power supply.
- Open your computer chassis: please refer to the instruction manual provided with your chassis.
- Install the PSU into the case with the four screws provided.
- If your motherboard requires a 24pin Main Power connector.
please connect the 24pin Main Power connector to the motherboard. - 4.1 For a motherboard that only requires a 4pin ATX 12V (CPU) connector, please detach a 4pin connector from the 4+4pin ATX 12V connector and connect it to the motherboard. (Either one of the 4pin from the 4+4pin ATX 12V connector will work)
4.2 For a motherboard that requires a single Spin EPS connector, please use the 4+4pin connector from the power supply. - Connect other peripheral power connectors to devices such as hard drives, optical drives. etc.
- If your graphic card requires a PCI-E power connector, please connect the corresponding PCI-E connector instructed by your graphic card’s user manual. Please note the power supply utilizes a unique 6+2pin PCI-E connector that can be effectively used as a single Spin or Spin PCI-E connector. To use it as a Spin PCI-E connector, please detach the 2pin connector from the 6+2pin connector.
- Close your computer case and connect the AC power cord to the power supply AC inlet.
- Attention! When Smart Zero Fan System is turned on. the fan will not operate until the power supply reaches approximately 30% of the rated load:11os normal if the fan does not operate when the computer is at a low working load.
