USER'S MANUAL
USER'S MANUAL HCG M SERIES HCG-520M POWER SUPPLY
ELITE POWER MEETS UNRIVATED PERFORMANCE
Antec's HCG M power supplies are the perfect combinaon of power and eciency. The HCG M features special heavy-duty High Current connectors and cabling that supply extreme levels of power, and superb eciency thanks to 80 PLUS® Bronze cercaon and Acve PFC. Highest-quality connectors, Japanese-brand capacitors, and a quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fan complete the package. The HCG-520M features High Current Cable Management and 10-pin modular connectors. If loads of power, High Current engineering and extreme eciency are what you're aer, the HCG M is the PSU for you.
STANDARDS AND FEATURES
The connectors and power speciaons of the HCG-520M PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.32 and EPS12V v2.92 speciaons. The HCG-520M features Universal Input, which automacally senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V without seng a voltage switch. This power supply also features Acve Power Factor Correcon (PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protecon (OCP), Over Voltage Protecon (OVP), Under Voltage Protecon (UVP), Short Circuit Protecon (SCP), Over Power Protecon (OPP) and Surge & Inrush Protecon (SIP). Somemes the PSU will "latch" into a protected state. You will need to power o the PSU and clear the fault before it will funcon again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your HCG-520M.
80 PLUS® CERTIFICATION
80 PLUS® cercaon is the most widely recognized independent standard in power supply eciency. An 80 PLUS® cered power supply uses less energy and generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last longer. The HCG-520M has been 80 PLUS® Bronze cered to be at least 82% ecient at a wide range of operang loads; this will lower your operang costs and help protect the environment.

INTELLIGENT HYBRID CABLE MANAGEMENT
The HCG-520M uses Intelligent Hybrid Cable Management. Cables that are important or mandatory are permanently connected to the PSU for the highest quality power delivery. There are modular jacks on the back of the PSU to add additional cables as needed. Using only the cables you need will reduce cluer and improve airrow inside your case. For the list of connected and oponal cables, see table 2.
MODULAR CABLE JACKS
There are two 5-pin black jacks and four 10-pin red jacks on the back of your HCG-520M PSU. These jacks are for the oponal cables that come with your power supply. A modular 10-pin connector system allows you plug 5-pin connectors into the 10-pin jacks if you run out of 5-pin jacks.

If your motherboard has an 8-pin socket with a cover on some of the openings, we recommend that you remove the cover and use the 8-pin connector.
Note: Please also refer to your motherboard user's manual for any special instrucons.

If you are going to plug the PCI-E cables into the PSU, they should go into the red sockets. If the red sockets are not being used for PCI-E, then they can be used for any other type of cable supplied in the pack that accompanies the PSU.

PCI-E graphics cards use dierent amounts of power. For some, a single 6-pin connector is sucient, making the hardwired connector the preferred choice. More powerful cards use mulple connectors, including the advanced 8-pin PCI-E connector. The 8-pin PCI-E connector on the PSU can be used as either a 6- or 8-pin connector.
-
Hard drives, opcal drives (CD/DVD/BluRay™) and other accessories will use either the older 4-pin Molex connector or the newer 15-pin SATA connector. 4-pin Molex connectors have two black, one yellow and one red wire. The SATA connector has an additional orange power wire.
- When you have all the connecons secured, turn the switch on the PSU to the " |" posion.
