I N T R O D U C T I O N We‘re happy and excited that you have decided to use a be quiet! power supply from the Dark Power PRO series in your computer. In order to be able to answer your initial questions in advance, we have summarized the advantages and specics of the Dark Power PRO series in this comprehensive manual. The latest generation of the Dark Power PRO series offers you many experiences and is a consequent further deve- lopment of the very successful pilot production. Should you have any questions during the initial start-up procedure, please carefully read through this instruction manual. Should you then have any additional questions, please call us at our customer service hotline: service hotline: [phone] E-mail: [e-mail] Website: www.be-quiet.com PC Systems are always becoming more and more capable and require more electricity as a result of the high per- formance graphic cards and quicker processors, especially on the +12V cables. The power supplys provided in the Dark Power PRO series are an ideal supplement in reference to the reserve capacities, even for the operation of PCI Express graphic cards in the SLI or Crossre networks. In addition, intelligent cable management contributes to a tidy PC and to a better air circulation when being used in space-saving Media Centre PCs or mini-format computers. The power supplys featured in the Dark Power PRO series dispose of an extremely high rate of efciency of up to 87%, which makes it peerless on the market. For a permanent usage intensity of your computer, the lower consump- tion of electricity can possibly be noticed in the next electricity bill. 2 . W A R N I N G S A N D S A F E T Y N O T E S Before conducting the start-up procedure, please carefully read and observe all of the points in this instruction manual Only then can a correct operation of the power supply be ensured and as a result, you‘ll be able to enjoy this product for a long period of time. Never open the cover of the power supply. The electronic components sheeted there create a high voltage that is dangerous to humans. After the separation from the network, the construction parts are often continue to harness a high voltage. As such, a power supply may only be opened by authorized personnel. In addition, the guarantee is deemed null and void once the power supply has been opened, thus damaging the ofcial guarantee seal. Never operate the device with wet or moist hands. Never place items in the openings/fanner of the power supply. Please observe that the start-up procedure is only intended for interiors. The exterior usage can lead to heavy damages. Do not conduct any work on the power supply when it is in a phase of line voltage. (In this situation, always place the power switch to „0“ and if necessary, pull out the power plug). Should there be a short circuit in the device, remove the power cable and do not bring the device back into operation. Power supplys without a universal alternating current (AC) cannot be used in the countries where, for example, there‘s a line voltage of 110V. The power supply can be destroyed if used with an incorrect or false AC voltage portal.23 This power supply is designed for a voltage range between 100 – 240V~ and thus, universally versatile. Make sure that your PC is not situated directly next to a heater or another heat source because this can cause a decrease in the lifespan of all components and thus, lead to failures/casualties. Make sure that there is a sufcient amount of ventilation in your computer case, for example, with an additional fan, because a current ATX power supply is not solely responsible for the evacuation of the complete warmth produced in the PC case. Should you want to clean your power supply, separate it completely from the power supply system and do not use damp towels or cleaning agents. Only clean the power supply from the exterior using a dry towel. Only start the operation of the power supply after an hour within the room air environment, because otherwise, condensation can build up in the power supply. 3 . A DVA N TA G E S A N D S P E C I F I C S OF YO U R N E W P O W E R S U P P LY HIGH EFFICIENCY: The power supply series from Dark Power PRO dispose of a very high degree of efciency. This helps them to reduce the costs of electricity that accumulate within a year when there‘s a high rate of operation. A high efciency means that the power supply can convert the incoming alternative current into direct current with a lower level of losses. This leads to a lower amount of warmth loss, which then has a positive effect on cooling the power supply. Power supplys that feature as high a rate of efciency as is exhibited by the Dark Power PRO series, can thus be operated with an extremely slow moving and thus, very quiet fan. An extremely low development of noise is the result of this continually technical advancement. ECONOMICAL: The power supplys of the Dark Power PRO series corresponds to the current guidelines 2002/95/EG (RoHs and WEEE directives) issued by the European Union. An environmentally conscious manner of production and the usage of materials that do not include harmful substances that are dangerous for the environment are guaranteed with be quiet! products. In this way, both we the manufacturer and you the consumer actively help in making an important contribution to the protection of our environment. VOLTAGE STABILITY: The power supplys from the Dark Power PRO series dispose of a rst-class stability in supplying your valuable com- ponents with electricity. This is also created by the usage of high quality components. As such, output voltages are kept very close to the optimal nominal value, which is very important for a higher demand on performance.24 WARMTH-DEPENDENT AIR VELOCITY CONTROL: be quiet! power supplys from the Dark Power PRO series make use of a very precise air velocity control. This automa- tic control not only controls the fan in the power supply, but can also control the case fan that can be connected to the power supply. The application is rather simple: only the case fans that are usually equipped with a 3 pole and/or 4 pole connector must be connected with the respective connections onto the power supply. The speed of the fan is regulated depending on the warmth development in the power supply. If the temperature in- creases, the fans automatically begin to turn faster in order to ensure a quick and effective cooling within the case. The cooling that is quickly created then contributes to the longer lifespan of its components and the power supply. When connecting individual fans to the power supply, please ensure that these fans do not have their own thermal sensors or potentiometers. The air velocity control disposes of an gear-up impulse. This ensures that all connected case fans are brought into gear in that a short impulse with a high level of voltage starts the fan.

O n l y c o n n e c t o n e f a n w i t h e ver y c a b l e . SILENT WING: The fans built into the be quiet! Dark Power PRO are very dependable. As a result of the high efciency of the power supply, you only require a very low amount of component cooling, which then precipitates in the special running smoothness of the fan. The 120 mm large fan is located on the underside of the power supply and ensures an optimal cooling of the components. CONTROLLING FAN ROTATIONAL SPEED (POWER SUPPLY FANS) VIA THE MAINBOARD: A cable on the power supply makes the connection of the power supply fan to your mainboard possible. You can read the speed indicator signal of your power supply fan via the mainboard (BIOS). The cable is to be connected to the intended slot on the mainboard and can then read the speed of the fan in the BIOS and/or operational system. Consult the manual of your mainboard as to whether this function is available. ECASO (FAN FOLLOW-UP CONTROL): ECASO stands for Enhanced Cooling After System Off and is to be indicated as a fan follow-up control. If the PC is turned off, all fans normally stop although it is still very warm in the interior case. With the ECASO control, this problem is solved by be quiet!. The power supply fan and all case fans attached to the power supply re-run after the system has been turned off for 3 minutes. The warmth is quickly and efciently removed from the case after operati- on and does not damage its hardware.25 YOUR SERVICE FOR THE NEW POWER SUPPLY: 3 YEAR WARRANTY: With every newly purchased be quiet! Dark Power PRO power supply, you receive a three year warranty, one entire year longer than required by the law. 1 YEAR ON-SITE EXCHANGE: Starting on the actual day of purchase, you receive the established on-site exchange service for one full year. This service will exchange your power supply with a new one on-site within for 48 hours of your call to the be quiet! hot- line. (This only applies for nal consumers and within Germany.) T E C H N I C A L A DVA N TA G E S ATX12V VERSION 2.2: With the Dark Power PRO series, be quiet! offers a power supply that corresponds to the latest ATX 12V specica- tions. It offers separate 12V circuits that have an advantageous effect on the dependable function of the system. The 450, 550 and 650W models dispose of four separate 12V circuits and the 750, 850, 1000 and 1200W models dispose of six separate 12V circuits. PCI EXPRESS CONNECTORS: The power supplys from the Dark Power PRO series dispose of up to ve 6 or 8 pin connectors that are necessary for the usage of PCI express graphic cards. In its basic form, every connector is a 6 pole connector that can be conver- ted into an 8 pole connector by adding two additional pins. The 1000 and 1200W version additionally offer a fth 6 pole connector with which the operation of a PhysX® graphic card is guaranteed. 20/24 PIN MAINBOARD CONNECTORS: With an expandable main connector that features from 20 to 24 pins, the Dark Power PRO series is also downward compatible with all current specications. The following standards are supported:

• ATX Specication V2.2 and older

• E-ATX Server mainboards with additional 8 and 6 pin connectors VARIABLE CABLE MANAGEMENT: The power supply disposes of numerous, variable connection possibilities. This ensures that users can comfortably enhance their PC with many components. The various cable strands can be varied and non-used cable strands are simply stowed and do not disrupt the ow of air in the case. EPS CONNECTORS: With the two additional 6 pin and 8 pin connectors, the server and workstation mainboards can be respectively operated. SERIAL ATA (SATA) CONNECTORS: Power supplys from the Dark Power PRO series are equipped with a sufcient amount of SATA connectors. The 450 and 550W models dispose of up to 7 SATA electrical connectors, the 650 and 750W models dispose of 8 SATA electrical connectors and the 850, 1000 & 1200W models dispose of 12 SATA electrical connectors. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC): be quiet! Netzteile werden mit einer speziellen Legierung überzogen. Diese reduziert Interferenzen wesentlich effek- tiver, als es bei herkömmlichen Netzteilen der Fall ist.26 3 . 1 . C O M PAT I B I L I T Y The be quiet! power supplys featured Dark Power PRO series are compatible with current popular power supplys and mainboard specications such as: - Intel ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 2.2 (as well as downwards compatible for V 2.01 / V 2.0 / V 1.3 ) - ATX System Design Guide Version 2.2 and Version 2.1 - BTX Version 1.0a - E-ATX Server Dual Mainboards via 8-Pin Connector - EPS12V Version 2.91 (as of 650W) 4 . I N S TA L L ATION OF YO U R N E W P O W E R S U P P LY Please read the point „Warnings and safety notes“ before you begin the installation. Remarks: To install the power supply in your PC, you will require a screwdriver. Only use the screws delivered with the adapter because they have the provide the correct thread You must rst remove you old power supply. For this, proceed as follows:

1. Separate your PC from all available sources of electricity and carefully remove all cables attached to the PC.

2. Open the PC case and if necessary, observe the manufacturer instructions.

3. Remove all connectors from the mainboard and all additional components such as FDD, HDD or optical drives.

Please make sure that no connectors from the old power supply are connected to a component.

4. Now unscrew the screws on the backside of the power supply and carefully remove them. When doing this,

make sure that no cables get caught on components and thus, become damaged. The installation of your new be quiet! Dark Power PRO power supply:

1. Place the new power supply in the space provided in the case and screw it into the backside with the four

screws included with the delivery. Do not use excessive force to do this.

2. Place the 20/24 pin into the intended connector on the mainboard. If you have a 24 pin connection, then place

the remaining 4 pins in the correct position before you stick the connector in the socket. When using a 20 pin connector, t the additional 4 pins right into the side.

3. Now stick the 4 pin connector, also called the P4 connector, into the provided socket on the mainboard. This

connector is will provide your CP in the future with additional electricity.

4. If you have a mainboard with several processors, you will require the additional 8 pin EPS connectors (available

as of 650W). You connect these into the socket on the mainboard. Some mainboards also require an additional 6 pin EPS connector. If this is the case, also connect this connector. Remarks: Please observe the your mainboard manufacturer instructions when connecting the EPS connector . Not all mainboards dispose of these connections. CABLE MANAGEMENT: A specic attribute for the connection of the peripheral devices is the so-called cable management. With this cable management, you can simply remove non-used cable from or, if necessary, attach it to the power supply. With that, a cable salad is avoided and the case is kept tidy. A special advantage is the now unchecked draft through the case. Disruptive cables prevent the air from traver- sing through the case, whereby the cooling is negatively inuenced. This can be effectively avoided with this cable management. Note: All cables are designed such that a mix-up of the cable directions and an interchanging of the connections is disqualied. All connectors can be easily stuck into the sockets, yet are then very tightly situated such that there is only a very low resistance. Should problems however arise, never alter the connectors and cable connections your- self. This can possibly cause permanent damage to the power supply and the other components as well as being grounds for a loss of warranty.27 The allocation of the sockets on the power supply is as follows:

FAN The four fan connections are indicated with FAN. The fan connections are to be attached at these junctions. The attached fans are later controlled by the internal automatic controls. Attention: only one fan per connection cable! Maximum load for all connections in sum 1.2A/14.4W! P8 CONNECTOR The P8 connector is required for mainboards with several processors. These provide the processors with an extra 12V circuit that is required for a stable operation. EPS ( AS OF 650W ) The additional 6 Pin EPS connector is, for special mainboards, required in the server and workstation area. This connector is available to you as of the 650W model

The connector with the MB indicator helps the additional supply of a 12V and 5V circuit for a more stable system.

The rst two graphic card connectors are indicated in red. These serve to supply the high performance graphic cards with electricity. There is, in each case, a 6 pin connector on each end of the cable. These can then convert into 8 pin connectors by applying the pluggable pins.28 PCIE3 AND PCIE4 (AB 750W) The second two graphic card connectors are indicated in green. These also serve to supply the high performance graphic cards with electricity. There is, in each case, a 6 pin connector on each end of the cable. These can then convert into 8 pin connectors by applying the pluggable pins.

The four sockets on the right side serve to connect the cable for the peripheral devices. In this case, it doesn‘t mat- ter whether you use the HDD or SATA cables on the connections. You can connect this variation to each of the four sockets. There are no incompatibilities. 5 . S P E C I F I C AT I O N S

S A F E G UA R D F U N C T I O N All be quiet! power supplys are equipped with numerous safeguard functions. They protect the user as well as the power supply and the connected components. When one of these safeguards is triggered, then a rebooting or deactivation of the system is the consequential result. Should this happen, the PC should be immediately checked for possible errors. In order to systematically detect such errors, please read the chapter „Troubleshooting“ on the following pages. The Dark Power PRO series disposes of the following safety functions:

7. D IM E N S I O N S O F T H E P O W E R S U P P LY

8 . T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G please observe! In ATX systems, the power supply receives the signal from the connected mainboard in order to be started up. For this reason, please check whether – with the help of the mainboard or the case manual – the activation/deactivati- on is connected correctly. ATTENTION: AWork with the electrical sources can lead to life-threatening injuries. In cases of trails of smoke, damaged cables and the effects of uids, the power supply is to be immediately unplugged from its source of electricity and after that, no longer brought into operation. Never unscrew the power supply. The are components in the interior that can contain high amounts of voltage when not used for a long period of time. Please have any and all necessary repairs be conducted by an authorized expert!

If the system for an installed power supply does not function properly, you must rst check for these possible sour- ces of error: A. Make sure the electrical cable is plugged into both the socket and the power supply correctly and tightly. Ideally, you use a separate can only for the computer power supply. B. Check to make sure that all connections are correctly connected to each other and correct them if necessary, for example, in the case of polarity. C. Inspect the connection of the on and off switch from the case to the mainboard. If necessary, consult your main- board instruction manual! Switch on the power supply by placing the switch on position „I“ and activating the on/off switch on the case. If the power supply doesn‘t allow itself to be turned on, continue with the next point. D. Check your system for possible short circuits or defective hardware in that you turn off your computer and sepa- rate all of the devices from the system that are not required for starting your computer. Turn the computer back on. Repeat this step and after each re-start, close one of the devices until you have found the supposed defect. If the power supply does not react due to a short circuit, wait at least 5 minutes until you re-start your computer because the device is equipped with overload protection. FREQUENT PROBLEMS: Problem: The selected voltages (via BIOS) are to low/high When you check the voltage of the power supply in the BIOS of the mainboard or in the operating system, it is pos- sible that these are displayed incorrectly. This results from the non-precise dimension of the mainboard and does not necessarily have to correspond to reality. With a multimeter (voltage measurement device), the voltage can be determined directly from the power supply ca- ble. This provides more precise measurement. If the circuits should still lie outside of the tolerance, please contact our customer service Problem: After installing a new graphics card, the PC can no longer be turned on or crashes with practically every opportunity: You have installed a new higher performance graphics card in your system and now your PC no longer starts or it seems to crash immediately with the rst workload. The power supply is too weakly dimensioned for your graphics card. Before making a purchase, please take a look at our watt congurator at www.be-quiet.net. Here you‘ll nd the right be quiet! power supply from our assortment Important note: Should the power supply not work, please ensure that you have thoroughly read this instruction manual and can pre- clude the problem causes listed here. Should the problems continue to exist, please contact our customer service immediately. All incoming returns are checked by our RMA service. Should we determine that a power supply is indeed free of error, it will be sent back to the customer. In addition, an all-included inspection for the occurring expense is levied. The process for the on-site exchange service in the rst year after the purchase is conducted as follows: As a rst step, call the be quiet! hotline for clarifying technical questions and details. A permission for the exchange will then be granted and initiated thereafter. What we need from you in this case: We need a copy of your purchase invoice, and a precise description of the malfunction, both of which can be sent to us per fax, e-mail or post. After this, you will receive a new power supply from us. When your new power supply is delivered to your doorstep by a DHL employee, please exchange the defective power supply to be returned to Listan. Please make sure that the power supply is packaged completely in the cardboard box, including all accessories.36 9 .
