Setup

Follow these steps to properly install your Mustek PowerMate 625 Power Supply into your computer system.

  1. Prepare Your System: Ensure your computer is completely powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your computer case.

  3. Install New Power Supply: Carefully place the Mustek PowerMate 625 into the power supply bay of your computer case. Ensure the fan faces the correct direction for optimal airflow (usually facing down or out the back of the case). Secure the power supply with screws provided with your computer case or the power supply itself.
  4. Connect Main Power Cables:
    • Connect the 20+4 pin ATX connector to your motherboard. Ensure it clicks into place.
    • Connect the 4+4 pin (or 8-pin) EPS/ATX 12V connector to your motherboard's CPU power socket.
  5. Connect Peripheral Cables: Connect SATA power connectors to your hard drives, SSDs, and optical drives. Connect Molex connectors to any other peripherals that require them.
  6. Connect Graphics Card Power (if applicable): If your graphics card requires additional power, connect the appropriate PCIe power connectors (6-pin or 6+2 pin).
  7. Close Case and Connect AC Power: Once all internal connections are secure, close your computer case. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply's inlet and then to a grounded wall outlet.
