The VP450 is crafted for quality, performance and incredible value. This entry-level solution gives you
everything you need in a power supply. No twinkly lights or glittery paint jobs: a 120 mm fan for effective
and quiet cooling, dual +12V rails for amazingly stable power and heavy-duty protection circuitry for peace
of mind, no matter how demanding your system. And it comes with all the assurance of Antec’s AQ2 Antec
Quality 2 year limited warranty. All the features, none of the waste: for builders that are strictly business,
the VP450 is strictly power.

The connectors and power specifications of the VP450 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V v2.91
specifications. The VP450 also features 450 watts of Continuous Power, the actual stable power a PSU can output
continuously at maximum load level.

ROTECTION
A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP
(Short Circuit Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection). Sometimes the PSU
will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function
again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your VP450.

The VP450 power supply distributes power on separate rails. Some rails require a minimum load in order to run. To
see the output capacity and regulation for each different voltage, see Table 1. A list of all available power
connectors can be found in Table 2.
