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.
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 cover of the housing.
• If the power supply unit is to be used as a replacement for an old broken power supply unit, you have to take out
the existing power supply unit first. Remove possibly existing cable attachments and cable fasteners. Carefully
remove all connector plugs for the mainboard and the built-in devices.
Hold onto the old power supply unit and remove all holding screws of the power supply unit so that it can be
removed from the computer housing.
• The rubber frame included in the delivery can be mounted onto the rear side of the power supply unit. It reduces
the vibrations which are transmitted from the power supply unit onto the housing.
• The connecting cables are pluggable. Thus, it is possible to use only as many cables as it is necessary to connect
the devices. This reduces the "cable confusion" in the computer housing.
The ATX connection cable is not pluggable as it is always needed for the connection onto the mainboard.
Furthermore, this prevents unnecessary transition resistances (in comparison with other ATX power supply units
with pluggable ATX connection cable; therefore this is to be considered an advantage).
Sort the connection cables and connect the necessary cables to the corresponding plug sockets (note colors of
sockets and plugs!).
Both 6-pin red sockets (and the corresponding connection cables) are for the connection onto your PCIe graphic
card (n).
The 6-pin blue sockets (and the corresponding connection cables) supply current to hard discs or CD/DVD drives.
The 8-pin socket is connected to the ATX 12V connection of the mainboard via the corresponding cable. The 8-
pin plug can be used for 4-pin ATX 12V connections also.
• Screw the power supply unit tightly with 4 screws (Whitworth thread, thread length approx. 5mm max) in your
computer housing.
• Finally, connect the devices in your computer (mainboard, hard disk etc) with the corresponding plugs of the
connection cables.
Depending on the mainboard, the ATX power supply connection will have 20 or 24 pins. The special design of
the plug included in delivery allows it to be used for both.
