2. Safety Information
- Always disconnect the power supply from the main AC outlet before installation or maintenance.
- Do not open the power supply unit. High voltages are present inside, and there are no user-serviceable parts. Opening the unit will void the warranty.
- Ensure proper grounding of your computer system.
- Install the power supply in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and moisture.
- Use only the cables provided with the power supply.
- This product is designed for indoor use only.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Enermax MaxPro II 700W ATX Power Supply into your computer system.
- Prepare Your System: Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Open your computer case.
- Remove Old Power Supply (if applicable): Disconnect all cables from your old power supply to the motherboard, graphics card, drives, and other components. Unscrew and remove the old power supply from the case.
- Install New Power Supply: Carefully place the Enermax MaxPro II power supply into the designated PSU bay in your computer case. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for optimal airflow (typically facing down if there's a bottom vent, or facing into the case if mounted at the top). Secure the power supply with the provided screws.
- Connect Cables:
- Mainboard 24-Pin: Connect the large 24-pin connector to your motherboard.
- CPU 4+4-Pin (8-Pin): Connect the 4+4-pin CPU power connector to the corresponding socket on your motherboard.
- PCI-E 6+2-Pin (8-Pin): Connect the 6+2-pin PCI-E connectors to your graphics card(s) as required.
- SATA: Connect SATA power connectors to your SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives.
- 4-Pin Molex: Connect 4-pin Molex connectors to any other peripherals that require them (e.g., case fans, older drives).
The flat cable design of the MAXPRO II allows for easy installation and clean cable management, which also helps improve airflow within your PC case.

- Organize Cables: Route cables neatly to ensure proper airflow and prevent interference with other components.
- Close Case and Connect Power: Close your computer case, connect the AC power cord to the power supply, and then plug it into a wall outlet.
- Power On: Turn on your computer.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off
The power supply is controlled by your computer's motherboard. To power on or off your system, use the computer's power button. The power supply also features a physical on/off switch at the rear, next to the AC inlet. This switch should be used to completely cut power to the system when performing maintenance or when the system will be stored for an extended period.
4.2. Efficiency and Energy Saving
The Enermax MaxPro II 700W is 80 PLUS 230V EU certified, achieving up to 88% efficiency at 230VAC between 20% and 100% load. This high efficiency reduces energy consumption and heat generation. The power supply also features a high-efficient 5V standby (+5Vsb) circuitry, enabling systems to meet EU eco-design directives (ErP Lot 6 and ErP Lot 3) with standby consumption less than 0.5 watts (when paired with an ErP-ready motherboard). It fully supports Intel's C6/C7 energy-saving functions.
4.3. Cooling System
An integrated 120mm Enermax high-pressure fan with patented Twister Bearing technology provides efficient cooling. The Smart Airflow Control (SAC) design keeps the fan spinning at an almost inaudible 14dB(A) up to a system load of 40%, ensuring quiet operation during typical use.

5. Maintenance
The Enermax MaxPro II power supply is designed for long-term, continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the exterior of the power supply and the fan grille using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the power supply is disconnected from the AC outlet before cleaning.
- Airflow: Ensure that the air vents of the power supply are not obstructed to maintain proper airflow and cooling.
- Cable Management: Regularly check that all cables are securely connected and not interfering with cooling fans or other components.
- Internal Components: Do not attempt to open the power supply unit for internal cleaning or maintenance. This will void the warranty and poses a risk of electric shock.
