6.  INSTALLING YOUR NEW POWER SUPPLY

Please read „Warnings and safety notes“ before you begin the installation.

Note: You will need a screwdriver to fit the power supply in your PC. Only use the screws provided with 
the power supply because they have the correct thread.

Caution! Only use the supplied cable set. Using cables that were not included (e.g. cables of older 
power supply unit series) may lead to defects!

 

∙ Carefully disconnect your PC from any power sources and unplug all cables connected to the PC.

 

∙ Open the PC case, taking care to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

∙ Disconnect  all  plugs  from  the  motherboard  and  all  other  components,  such  as  FDDs,  HDDs,  or 

optical drives. Make sure that there are no plugs from the old power supply connected to any of the 
components.

 

∙ Now remove the screws at the rear of the power supply and carefully pull the power supply out of the 

PC case. Take special care that no cables get caught in the components and damage them.

 

∙ Place the new power supply in the space provided in the PC case and connect to the rear panel using 

the four screws provided. Do not use excessive force.

 

∙ Plug the 20/24 pin connector into the socket provided on the motherboard. If you have a 24 pin 

connection, place the remaining 4 pins in the correct position before you plug the connector into 
the socket. If you have a motherboard with a 20 pin connector, fold the additional 4 pins to one side.

 

∙ Now plug the 12V-P4/ 12V-P8 connector for the CPU into the socket provided on the motherboard. 

 

∙ If you have a motherboard with multiple processors, you need an additional 12V-P8 plug. Simply plug it 

into the corresponding socket on the motherboard. The connecting cable required to do so is included. 

Using the power supply’s thermal fan control
Connect only one case fan with one FAN socket on your power supply.
Make sure that case fans have a range of between 4V – 12V.
Caution: Only one fan per connecting cable! Maximum total load for all connections 0.8A/9.6W!
