NSK 4000 / 4480 / 4480B
Super Mini Tower Case
This case is designed to meet Intel’s Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) design 
guide requirements.
The NSK4000 Case Only
NSK 4000 comes without a pre-installed power supply unit (PSU). This allows you 
to install your choice of Antec power supply to match your individual needs. 
The NSK4480 Case with EA-380 power supply
NSK 4480 and NSK 4480B come with an EarthWatts 380 watt PSU. Universal 
input, active PFC single 80mm fan cooled power supply that follows the ATX12V 
version 2.2 specifications. This includes dual +12V output rails that deliver safer 
and more reliable output to your system’s components. Featuring higher energy 
efficiency, which reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money 
on your electricity bill. EarthWatts’ power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® 
Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency. 
n addition EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power 
protection), OVP (over voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).
The power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the 
switch to the ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time. 
Normally, you won’t need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power 
supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn the computer on and off 
by using the soft switch on the computer case. If the computer crashes and you 
can’t shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the 
OFF (O) position, to clear the fault, then reboot.
For models designed for sale in the European Union:
Antec power supply models feature Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in 
accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the 
input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the PSU. A better 
Power Factor increases energy efficiency, reduces heat, improves output voltage 
stability and prolongs the life of all equipment. The PSU’s high efficiency design 
and the quiet fan deliver not only a cleaner but also a quieter operating environment.
