• Do not work on the PSU or the PC as long as the main voltage is still connected.
• Switch the I/O button to position “0” and disconnect the power plug from the power network.
• Protect the PSU against moisture.
• The PSU is suitable for operation at 100-240V~/50-60 Hz and thus universally usable. The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°. Please ensure that there is sufficient ventilation of the entire system.
• Make sure during the installation of the PSU that the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not clog the ventilation slots of the PSU. Keep your PC away from direct heat sources such as radiators.
• When using an extension cord and/or multiple sockets pay attention to the maximum through-connection ability in order to avoid short-circuits.
• During the operation of the PSU pay attention to the maximum loads. The single loads and the total loads must not exceed to cross the values shown in output power table.
• Avoid the use of adapters, such as 4Pin Molex to 6+2Pin PCI-Express.

Trouble shooting

• Never work on the PSU yourself. Even long time after its deactivation, life-threatening voltages can still be present in the PSU. Repairs should only be made by authorized specialists.
• Working at power sources can lead to life-threatening injuries. If there is smoke, cable damage or intrusion of liquids the PSU has to be immediately disconnected from the
• power network and must not to be put into operation anymore afterwards.
• Never open the PSU. It contains components, which can show high voltages even after long periods of deactivation.
• Again, repairs should only be done by authorized specialists!
• Problem: After the installation of the new PSU the system does not start.
• Possible solutions:
• Check the power cord and the power supply of the wall socket and/or multiple socket strip.
• Also check whether the multiple socket strip can supply the necessary power.
• Check all connections within the PC; maybe not all cables are correctly connected.
• Check the components for possible short-circuits or defects.
• Please also check the other components for compatibility. Often mainboard chipsets are not compatible with all memory and/or graphics card solutions.
• Contact the manufacturer of the component to get more information.
• If your PSU still does not function even though you have checked sources of errors mentioned above, please get in touch with our customer service.
