Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER GT 1200W / 1000W Power Supply Unit User Manual

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides essential installation and safety information for the Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER GT 1200W and 1000W power supply units. Always ensure the power supply is disconnected from the AC source before installation or maintenance. Do not open the PSU casing, as it contains high-voltage components; unauthorized opening voids the warranty.

Installation

1. Ensure the PC is turned off and unplugged.
2. Remove the AC power cord from your old power supply.
3. Connect the 24-pin or 20-pin main power cable to the motherboard.
4. Connect the 4+4-pin ATX 12V cable to the motherboard. If your motherboard requires only a 4-pin connector, detach the 4-pin section from the 4+4-pin connector.
5. Connect peripheral power cables to devices like hard drives and optical drives.
6. For graphics cards requiring PCI-E power, use the provided 6+2-pin PCI-E connectors. These can be used as 8-pin or 6-pin connectors by detaching the 2-pin section.
7. Close the computer case and connect the AC power cord to the PSU input.

Safety Warnings

• Do not unplug the AC power cord while the power supply is in use.
• Avoid environments with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
• Use only genuine Thermaltake modular cables. Third-party cables may cause damage and void the warranty.
• Ensure all cables are plugged in securely to prevent damage to components.

Troubleshooting

If the power supply fails to function, check the following before contacting support:

• Verify the AC power cord is properly connected to the wall outlet and the PSU.
