How to use

Install the PSU into a compatible ATX case following the case and motherboard manufacturer instructions. Secure the unit with the provided screws and connect the 24-pin ATX cable to the motherboard main power socket. Route the SATA power cable to your drives and connect other peripheral power cables as required by your components. Ensure proper airflow inside the case so the 120 mm fan can intake or exhaust air according to your case layout. Before first startup, verify all connectors are firmly attached and double-check that the mains input voltage selector (if present) matches your local supply.

Recommendations

For stable performance and longevity, operate the power supply within its rated continuous load and allow for adequate case airflow. Use this unit in systems with single mid-range graphics cards and typical storage configurations. Periodically check for dust accumulation on fan blades and ventilation openings and clean with compressed air while the unit is powered off and unplugged.
