5.2 Pin configuration

5.2.1 P1 ATX-Mainboard connector 20+4 pin

Pins 11/ 12/ 23/ 24 are made as separate jacks. It can be swung away in case of using older Mainboards.

Don't mix the separate jack with the P4 connector.

5.2.2 EPS/ P4 Mainboard connector 4+4 pin

Don't plug it into another socket on the board.

Depending your mainboard you need an 8pin or 4pin connector. For that the connector is divisible. In case of using just the 4pin connector the rest of the connector is without function.

5.2.3 IDE connector 4 pin

5.2.4 FDD connector 4 pin

5.2.5 PCI-Express connector 6+2 pin

Some graphic adapter need only a 6pin plug for connection. In this case, pull off the 2pin connector from the PCIe connector.

5.2.6 SATA connector 15 pin

5.2.7 12VHPWR connector 12+4 pin

6. Assembling and initial operation

1. Take out the power supply and check the package content for completeness or damages.

Please contact you local dealer for replacement in case of missing or damaged parts.

Please keep the original package for shipping in case of warranty claim.

Please connect the power supply to the grid after connecting all other devices.

1. Fix the power supply with the enclosed screws to the allocated space of the computer case.
2. Connect all components with the suitable cables.

Please follow also chapter 5.2 (Pin configuration) as well as the instructions of the device manufacturers.

A faulty connection of the components can cause damages. Please ask your local dealer or our service-hotline in case of discrepancies or questions.

1. Lay all cables in a way to avoid disturbing airflow or any rotating fan. Use the enclosed cable ties to fix the cables.
2. Connect the power supply with the electric socket.

Use only the original power cord. In case of a damaged cable, please change it against an approved power cord from your local dealer.

1. Switch on the power supply at the backside of the power supply. Your computer is ready now.

By power-on the power supply it is in Stand-By mode to start the computer by pressing the power button at the case front. To separate the computer totally from the electric grid power –off the power supply directly.

7. FAQ

Error	Possible reason(s)	Help
The power supply runs shortly and stops.	Short circuit at Mainboard, HDD, FDD or CD-ROM	Check all connectors for right connection.
	Eliminate short circuit or change components.
Power supply does not start	Secondary connectors not connected	Check all connectors for right connection.
	Main switch on power supply is off	Switch on the main switch of the power supply.
	Power cord is not connected	Check if power cord is connected to power supply and electric grid.
	Power cord defective	Change power cord against an approved new power cord.
	Power socket defective	Let authorized experts check the socket.

Please unplug power cord generally when working inside the computer case.

In case of checking the electric socket exists risk of electric strike.

Leave work on mains supply only authorized experts.

8. Maintenance

The power supply needs no maintenance which requires opening of the housing or working inside the power supply.

But cause of the intake of air, dust can collect inside the power supply.

This can lead to overheating or fire.

You can remove this dust with compressed air by yourself. To do this, unplug the power supply from mains supply, dismount the power supply in reversed way as described before and blow the dust with compressed air through the fan grid out of the housing.

Do not use a wet or moist rag to remove dust. Hazard of electric shock.

Do not open the power supply in any circumstances. You will risk your life by an electric shock, destroy any components and lose your warranty claim.
