Installation Steps
Follow these steps to install the power supply:
- Preparation: Ensure the I/O switch is off and the power cable is unplugged.
- Motherboard: Connect the 20+4 pin connector to the motherboard. Do not force the detachable 4-pin connector into an ATX12V 4-pin socket.
- CPU: Connect the ATX12V 4/8-pin (via 4+4 pin) connector to the motherboard.
- Graphics Card (PCIe): Connect the PCIe 6-pin or 8-pin (via 6+2 pin) connector to the graphics card.
- Graphics Card (12V-2x6): Connect the 12V-2x6 (PCIe 5.0/5.1) cable to the graphics card. Ensure the cable is not bent vertically or horizontally within 35mm of the connector.
- Peripherals: Connect SATA cables to devices like HDD, SSD, or ODD. Connect PATA (Molex) cables to devices like fans or older drives.
- RGB Sync: Connect the 5V 3-pin ARGB connector to the motherboard's 5V 3-pin ADD header or a compatible HUB AURA SYNC header.
