INSTALLATION Install the PSU into either the top or bottom of your case with the four screws provided. Refer to your case manual if you are unsure where the power supply should be installed. Connect the 24-pin main power connector to your motherboard. Connect the 8-pin or 4+4-pin connector for the CPU. 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.
Connect the AC power cord to the power supply AC inlet. Be sure to use the heavy-duty cord supplied with your PSU. PCI-E graphics cards use different amounts of power. For some, a single 6-pin connector is sufficient, making the hardwired connector the preferred choice. More powerful cards use multiple connectors, including the advanced 8-pin PCI-E connector. The 8-pin PCI-E connector on the PSU can be used as either a 6- or 8-pin connector.
