Product Usage Instructions

Jump Starting the Power Supply (Paper Clip Test)

1. For your safety, turn off the power supply first.
2. If available, locate the I/O switch on the back of the power supply and set it to the “O” position.
3. Unplug the AC power cord from the power supply.
4. Disconnect all hardware device cables from the power supply.
5. Re-plug the AC power cord directly into the power supply, ensuring it is connected to a wall outlet without any filters or UPS.
6. Locate the 24-pin connector on the power supply. If all wires are black, place the connector with the lock clip facing up and short the 4th and 5th pins (counting from left to right) in the upper row using a paper clip or piece of wire.
7. Turn on the power supply.
8. If the power supply fan starts running, it indicates that the power supply is working properly.
9. Note : If you have a fanless or semi-fanless power supply, you can connect simple devices or components (such as fans powered off a 4-pin peripheral connector) to test if they spin when the power supply is turned on. Avoid using multiple devices simultaneously during the Jump Start process.
