Source: 80 PLUS Verification and Testing Report DUAL +12 VOLT RAIL DISTRIBUTION The EA-380D Green PSU uses dual +12 volt power rails. Different connectors are hooked up to separate circuits to aid in the balanced distribution of power between devices in your computer. The engineers have allocated the rails to different connectors, as shown in Table 2, to prevent voltage sags in one device due to sudden demands for power by another device.
POWER OUTPUT The EA-380D Green PSU distributes a varying maximum number of amps on each rail. To see the output capacity and regulation for each different voltage, see Table 3. TABLE 3: OUTPUT CAPACITY AND REGULATION Output Voltage +3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 –12V +5VSB Load Max.

3. Connect the 8-pin or 4-pin ATX12V connector for the CPU to the appropriate connector on your motherboard. If your motherboard has an 8-pin socket with a cover on some of the openings, we recommend that you remove the cover and use the 8-pin connector. Note: Please also refer to your motherboard user’s manual for any special instructions. 4. Connect an AC power cord to the power supply AC inlet. To reduce waste, the EA-380D Green does not come with a power cord.
