Are you replacing a power supply?
- If yes, start at “Removing your old power supply” below.
- If no, go to “Installing the power supply” on pg 4.
Removing your old power supply
- Turn off your computer. Unplug the power cord from your computer.
- Open your computer case. (See the instructions that came with your computer.)
- Disconnect your old power supply from all computer components.
- Remove the screws that secure your old power supply to your computer case, then remove it from the case.
- Position your power supply in the computer case, making sure that the AC power jack and cooling fan are facing out, then secure your power supply using the screws included with your computer case.
- Connect the power supply cables to the motherboard and compatible computer components (see below). Make sure that each connection is secure. Connect the 20+4-pin main power connector to your motherboard (either 20 or 24 pins).
- Connect the 8-pin (4+4) or 4-pin +12V power connector to your motherboard.
- Connect all of the following that apply to your computer:
- The 4-pin peripheral connectors (4) can be used with any computer components with a 4-pin connector, such as an IDE drive or a case fan.
- The floppy drive power connector is for the floppy drive.
- The Serial ATA connectors (4) to any computer components that have a Serial ATA connector, such as a CD/DVD/Blu-ray or hard drive.
- The 8-pin PCI-E or 6-pin PCI-E connector to a PCI-E graphics card.
- Close your computer case.
- Connect the AC power cord to the power supply, then to a surge protector or wall outlet.
- Turn on your computer by pressing the power button on the front of the case.
Troubleshooting
If your new power supply is not working correctly, try the following
- Make sure that the computer power cord is firmly plugged into the power cord connector on your computer. If you are using a surge protector, make sure that it is plugged in and turned on.
- Make sure that the wall outlet is supplying power. For example, plug a lamp into the outlet and turn it on. Make sure that the system board power supply cable is securely connected to the system board connector 24-pin or 20-pin).
- Make sure that all power supply cables to peripheral devices, such as hard drives, optical drives, and fans, are securely connected. Any loose power cable connections may cause the power supply to operate incorrectly.
- The power supply may be overloaded. Unplug any unnecessary components, such as extra drives, then try again. If the power supply is very hot, check the case fans and the power supply fan. Replace any faulty case fans, then try again.
