1. INTRODUCTION

We are delighted that you have chosen to use a be quiet! power supply in your PC. Please read and follow all the information contained in these instructions carefully prior to installation. Should you have any further question, please contact our customer service. See contact information in item Manufacturer's details.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The power supply is only guaranteed to function properly if the instructions are followed.

Never open the power supply case. The electronic components inside the case generate a high voltage that is dangerous to humans. Even after disconnecting the power supply from the network, some parts still have high voltages. For this reason, a power supply adapter should only be opened by an authorized technician.

Opening the device voids your warranty.

• Never handle the power supply with wet or damp hands when in operation.
• Never insert objects into the power supply's apertures/fans.
• Note that the power supply is designed for use indoors in conditions without high levels of moisture in the ambient air. Using the power supply outdoors will lead to serious damage.
• Never work on the power supply while it is connected to the mains. In this case, always set the power switch to "0" and / or disconnect the power plug.
• In the event of a short circuit in the device, unplug the mains cable and do not use the device.

Make sure that your PC is not located directly next to a heating system or any other source of heat.

Make sure that your computer case is sufficiently ventilated by means of additional fans; with today's complex and powerful systems a power supply is incapable of dissipating the heat produced in the PC case without additional support.

If you want to clean your power supply, disconnect it completely from the mains and never use a damp cloth or cleaning agent. Clean the power supply from the outside using a dry cloth.

Before using the power supply, allow it to warm up to room temperature for one hour to prevent condensation accumulating in the power supply.

3. COMPATIBILITY

The be quiet! SFX L Power power supply series is compatible with all recent popular power supply and motherboard specifications such as:

Intel SFX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 3.3
- Intel ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 2.4
- Intel C6/C7 Status for the new processor generation
- Energy Star 6.0 guidelines
- ErP guidelines

4. INSTALLING YOUR NEW POWER SUPPLY

Please read „Safety instructions“ 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!

First remove your old power supply. To do so, proceed as follows:

• 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.

Fitting your new be quiet! power supply:

• 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 connector for the CPU into the socket provided on the motherboard.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

Please note:

If you have an ATX motherboard, the power supply is enabled by the motherboard in order to boot the PC. For this reason, please refer to the motherboard or case manual to check whether the on/off switch is connected correctly.

Caution: There is a risk of fatal injury when working on power sources. If you notice traces of smoke, damaged cables and exposure to liquids, immediately disconnect the power from the mains and do not use it again.

Never open the power supply case. High-voltage components in the interior of the power supply may still be live after a longer period of disuse.

Please have any and all necessary repairs conducted by an authorized expert!

Opening the device will void your warranty.

If the system in which you installed the power supply does not work properly, check for these possible sources of error first:

• Check that the mains cable to the power supply is correctly and firmly plugged into the power supply and the socket. Ideally, you should use a separate power socket for the computer power supply.
• Check whether all connectors are correctly plugged in, and make any necessary adjustments, such as in case of incorrect polarity.
• Check the connection between the on/off switch on the case to the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard manual if needed! Switch the power supply on by setting the switch to position “I” and then pressing the on/off switch on the case. If the power supply still does not switch on, continue with the next item.
• Check your system for possible short circuits or faulty hardware, making sure that you switch off the computer and disconnect all devices not required for the computer to start. Switch the computer

back on. Repeat this process and connect one device after each reboot, until you discover the fault. If the power supply does not react due to a short circuit, wait for at least 5 minutes before switching back on as the device is equipped with overload protection.

6. ACCESSORIES

The power supply package includes the following accessories:

Mains lead, Operating manual, SFX-to-ATX PSU adapter bracket, Cable set, Cable ties, Screws for installing the power supply

7. NOTES ON DISPOSAL
