Position 3: "Virtually Silent" mode. The fan will activate if the temperature

reaches 55°C inside the power supply. The fan will automatically

vary its speed in response to changing temperatures. Once the

temperature decreases below 55°C, the fan will turn off. We

recommend this mode if you're determined to have the quietest

power supply possible. (Obviously, we don't recommend this

setting for overclockers or gamers.)

To install your Phantom 500, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the power cord from your old power supply.

2. Open your computer case. Follow the directions provided in your case manual.

3. Disconnect all the power connectors from the motherboard and from the

peripheral devices such as case fans, hard drives, floppy drives, etc.

4. Remove the existing power supply from your computer case and replace it

with the Phantom power supply. Attach the Phantom to your chassis with

the screws from your original supply.

Note: Install the Phantom carefully, because the edges of the power supply

are sharp.

5. Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and the 4-pin or 8-pin +12V

connector to your motherboard as needed. If your motherboard uses a

20-pin connector, detach the 4-pin attachment on the 24-pin power

connector (see pictures 1 and 2). Connect the peripheral power connectors

to devices such as hard drives, optical drives, etc.

6. Set your desired fan operating mode. (See above for details.)

7. Close your computer case.

8. Connect the power cord to the Phantom 500.
