5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your power supply:
- Prepare Your System: Ensure your computer is completely powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your computer case.
- Remove Old PSU (if applicable): Disconnect all cables from your old power supply and remove it from the case.
- Mount the New PSU: Place the Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB Plus 750W into the power supply bay of your computer case. Secure it with the provided mounting screws. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction for optimal airflow (typically facing down if your case has a bottom vent, or up if it's a top-mounted PSU).
- Connect Essential Cables:
- Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector to your motherboard.
- Connect the 4+4-pin ATX 12V Connector to your motherboard's CPU power socket.
- Connect the necessary 6+2-pin PCI-E Connectors to your graphics card(s).
- Connect SATA Power Connectors to your storage drives (HDDs, SSDs) and optical drives.
- Connect Peripheral (4-pin Molex) Connectors to any other components requiring them (e.g., case fans, fan controllers).
- If needed, use the Floppy Adapter for older devices.
- Connect USB Cable for Digital Control: Locate the USB port on the power supply and connect one end of the provided USB cable. Connect the other end to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. This connection is essential for Smart Power Management (SPM) and RGB control software.
- Cable Management: Route cables neatly to improve airflow and aesthetics.
- Close Case and Power On: Close your computer case, connect the AC power cord to the power supply, and then plug it into a wall outlet. Flip the power switch on the back of the PSU to the 'ON' position.
