main power to the OFF (O) position.

Advanced Cable Management System – NeoPower features Antec's advanced

Cable Management System. It allows you to use only the power cables that

you need, thereby reducing clutter and improving airflow inside your case.

Inside the package, apart from a power cord, you will find the following (see

Photo 1):

NeoPower unit. On the front of the power supply, you'll find some wires. These

include:

1. The 24-pin Main Power Connector 

2. The 4-pin +12V connector 

3. The 3-pin fan signal connector 

4. A 2-pin Fan Only socket, which should only be used with the Fan Only 

cable set (see #6 below) 

5. Four 6-pin output sockets, which you can use for your drives and other 

peripherals

6.   One set of wires with two Fan-Only connectors at one end and one 2-pin 

PSU connector at the other end

7. Three sets of wires with standard 4-pin Molex peripheral connectors at one

end and a 6-pin PSU connector at the other end

8.   One 24-pin to 20-pin adapter for the motherboard power connector

9.   Four additional connectors, 2 Molex & 2 SATA, for optional use

10. One set of wires with one standard 4-pin Molex peripheral connector at one

end and two Floppy power connectors at the other end

11. One set of wires with a 6-pin PCI Express graphic card connector at one 

end and a 6-pin PSU connector at the other end

12. One set of wires with SATA drive connectors at one end and a 6-pin PSU 

connector at the other end. Note: The SATA connectors include a +3.3V 

output so you can power next-generation SATA devices.

NeoPower power supplies include Universal Input and Active PFC. Universal

Input allows you to connect NeoPower to any standard power circuit between

100~240V, without having to worry about setting a voltage switch. Active

PFC improves the power factor of the power supply by altering the input current

wave shape. This results in increased energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, 

prolonged life for power distribution and consumption equipment, and improved

output voltage stability. NeoPower also includes dual +12V output circuitry,

which delivers safer and more reliable output to your system's components.

NeoPower also features a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OCP

(over current protection), OTP (over temperature protection), OVP (over voltage

protection), OPP (over power protection), UVP (under voltage protection) and

SCP (short circuit protection).

Note: NeoPower's active PFC circuitry complies with European standard 

regulation code EN61000-3-2.

NeoPower includes an advanced temperature-response system that provides an

optimum balance between noise reduction and cooling. The power supply fan

will always run at the lowest speed possible for existing load and conditions.

The result? NeoPower will run considerably quieter than power supplies with

traditional thermally-controlled fans.

NeoPower can also control the speed of your system case fans. You'll find two

dedicated fan connectors (marked "Fan Only") to which you can connect your

system case fans. NeoPower's circuitry will then regulate your case fans, 

further reducing system noise. Note: Please don't connect more than three

external fans to the "Fan Only" connectors. If you need more cooling power

than that, you can connect your case fans to the regular 4-pin peripheral 

connectors. But that setup won't be as quiet as our recommended setup.

NeoPower also includes a 3-pin fan signal connector. If you connect it to one of

the fan connectors on your motherboard, you can monitor the speed of

NeoPower's fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the monitoring 

software that's included with your motherboard. 

Note: The speed of the 120mm fan may be as low as 1000 RPM when

temperatures are low. At these speeds some motherboards may not be able to

properly detect the fan speed and may generate false warning of fan failure.

Please refer to your motherboard manual for proper fan monitoring set up.

Power Switch: NeoPower includes a main power switch. Make sure you turn

the switch to the ON ( I ) position before you boot up your 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 your computer

on and off by using the soft switch on your computer case. If your computer
