8. Installation

When in doubt about how to install the device correctly, please contact an
EXPERT or a specialist workshop and let them carry out the installation!
In case of improper installation, the power supply unit as well as your computer
and all connected devices will be damaged. There are furthermore dangers
involved such as short circuit, electrical shock or risk of fire.
Attention! Lethal danger!
Switch off the computer in which the power supply unit is to be installed and all
connected devices and separate all devices from the mains voltage. Unplug the
mains plug! Switching off via the mains switch is not sufficient!
• Open the housing of your computer and carefully take off the lid of the housing.
• If the power supply unit is to be used as a replacement for eg an old broken power supply unit,
you have to take out the existing power supply unit first. First of all remove possibly existing cable
attachments and cable fasteners. Carefully remove all connector plugs for the mainboard and the
build-in devices.
Hold onto the old power supply unit and remove all holding screws of the power supply unit so that
it can be taken out off the computer housing.
• Screw the new power supply unit tight with 4 screws (Whitworth thread, thread length max.
approx. 5mm) in your computer housing.
• Finally the devices have to be connected in your computer (mainboard, hard disk etc) with the
corresponding plugs of the power supply unit.
Depending on the mainboard, the ATX power supply connection will have 20 or 24 pins. Due to
the special design of the plug included in delivery, it can be used for both. For a 20-pin ATX
connection a 4-pin part can be separated by simply sliding it out of the rest of the plug.
Warning!
If you use force, the ATX plug can also be plugged the wrong way around onto the terminal
on the mainboard! The ATX plug has to be easy to attach and then has to click cleanly
into place with the clip on the side.
• The ATX power supply unit has a 4-pin ATX2.0-12V plug, which is necessary for a lot of
mainboards (eg for mainboards for Intel P4 or AMD64 processors). It serves to additionally
connect the +12V voltage via extra lines to the mainboard (serves to as a relief of the +12V line
of the ATX power supply unit).
If your mainboard has such a connection, do by all means connect it with this plug.
Otherwise your computer will not boot later on.
However, do not use the 4-pin plug which you have separated from the wide 24-pin ATX
plug. It has a different assignment, the mainboard would get destroyed! The correct
plug has two black and two yellow (400W) or yellow/green (550W) cables. See
chapter 14 a), d) and e).
