Product Usage Instructions

Installation Steps
Note : Make sure that your system is turned off and unplugged before proceeding with the installation.

1. Disconnect the AC power cord from your old power supply.
2. Connect the main power connector (24 Pin) directly to your motherboard.
3. Connect the ATX connector (8 / 4+4 Pin) to the corresponding motherboard connector.
4. Connect the SATA power connector (5 Pin) to devices with a Serial ATA interface.
5. Connect the 6+2pin or 12+4pin PCIe power connector to the PCI-E graphics cards if required.
