INSTALLATION OF THE POWER SUPPLY

NOTE: You will need a Philips screwdriver to install your new power supply.
To install a new power supply you first need to remove the old one. Please proceed as

follow

INSTALLING THE NEW POWER SUPPLY:

1. Unplug the AC power cable from your old power supply.
2. Make sure to disconnect all other cables from the PC and remove the cover from the

PC case. Remove any screws holding the cover in place; specifics will vary by

computer case design.
3. Disconnect the power supply from all the components in the PC- make sure that all

the connectors are unplugged.
4. You can now remove the screws securing the old power supply to your case; normally,

there are four screws at the back of the chassis. After removing all the screws, slowly

take the power supply out of the PC case. Be careful that you do not damage any

other components during this action.

1. Place your new power supply in the appropriate space in the PC case and

secure it by screwing the four screws into the rear of the power supply.
2. Guide the 20 or 24-pin atx connector through the case and connect it to your

motherboard as needed.
3. Connect the 8-pin power cables to the motherboard as needed. If your
motherboard supports only a 4-pin jack, connect only the right side of the

connector to the motherboard.
4. If you are using a graphics card with a 6-pin connector please connect the

respective connector to the jack on the card. If your card supports more than one

jack connect the second 6-pin connector. If your card has an 8-pin jack mounted

just use the additional two pins beside the regular 6-pin connector to form an

8-pin connector.
5. Proceed with connecting all peripheral and SATA connectors to your hard

drives and optical drives.
6. Connect any other internal components that require power to the appropriate

connector- i.e. fans and/or case lighting.
7. You may replace the cover on the PC case now, or you can leave it off

initially while you verify everything works properly.
8. Connect your display, keyboard, mouse, speakers, printer, and any other

peripherals to your computer.
9. Plug in the main AC power cable into the back of the power supply and turn

on your computer.
10. If everything works properly and you have not already done so, turn your

computer off and replace the cover on the case.
