Corsair P49-00011 - Manual (Page 8)

INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with installation, please read this manual in its entirety.
Step A: Replacing your existing power supply
If you are building a new system, skip to Step B.
1. Disconnect the AC power cord from your wall outlet or UPS and from the existing power
supply.
2. Disconnect all the power cables from your video card, motherboard and all other peripherals.
3. Follow the direction in your chassis manual and uninstall your existing power supply.
4. Proceed to Step B.
Step B
1. Make sure the power supply’s AC power cable is not connected.
2. Follow the directions in your chassis manual and install the power supply with the screws
provided.
3. The main 24-pin power cable attached to the power supply has a detachable 4-pin
mechanism in order to support either a 24-pin or a 20-pin socket on the motherboard.
a. If your motherboard has a 24-pin socket, you may connect the 24-pin main power cable
from the HX Series directly to your motherboard.
b. If your motherboard has a 20-pin socket, you must detach the 4-pin cable from the 24-pin
connector, and then plug the 20-pin cable onto your motherboard without connecting the
4-pin connector.
4. The HX Series has an 8-pin +12V; also know as “EPS12V” cable.
a. If your motherboard has an eight-pin +12V socket, connect the eight-pin cable directly to
your motherboard.
b. If your motherboard has a four-pin socket, detach the four-pin from the eight-pin cable,
and then plug the correct 4-pin directly to your motherboard.
WARNING: The detachable 4-pin from the 24-pin main connector is not a “P4” or “+12V”
connector. Serious damage can be caused if you use it in place of a “P4” or “+12V” connector.
5. The HX Series includes two peripheral cables, two PCI-Express cables, and three SATA cables.
a. Connect the peripherals cables to your hard drive and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM power sockets.
b. Connect the SATA cables to your SATA hard drive’s power sockets.
c. Connect the PCI-Express cables to the power sockets of your PCI-Express video cards if
required
d. Connect the peripheral cables to any peripherals requiring a small 4-pin connector.
e. Make sure all the cables are tightly connected.
6. Connect the AC power cord to the HX Series and turn it on by pushing the switch to the “I”
position.
Congratulations! You have completed installation of your new HX Series power supply and your
system is ready to go!
