- Do not open the power supply unit. High voltages are present inside, even when disconnected from power. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the casing will void the warranty.
- Ensure the power supply is installed in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and liquids.
- Use only the modular cables provided with this power supply. Using incompatible cables may cause damage to the PSU or connected components.
- Connect the power supply to a grounded power outlet.
- If the power supply is not functioning correctly, contact Redragon customer support immediately. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
5. Installation Guide
Follow these steps to install your Redragon RGPS-650W power supply:
- Prepare Your System:
- Turn off your computer and disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
- Open your computer case. Refer to your case's manual for specific instructions.
- Remove Old Power Supply (if applicable):
- Disconnect all power cables from your motherboard, graphics card, and other components.
- Unscrew the old power supply from the case and carefully remove it.
- Install New Power Supply:
- Place the Redragon RGPS-650W into the power supply mounting area of your case. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction for optimal airflow (usually facing down if there's a bottom vent, or up if the case has a top vent and the PSU is top-mounted).
- Secure the power supply to the case using the provided mounting screws.
- Connect Modular Cables:
Due to the fully modular design, connect only the cables required for your system. This reduces clutter and improves airflow.
- Connect the 24-Pin ATX cable to your motherboard.
- Connect the 8-Pin (4+4) ATX 12V cable to your motherboard's CPU power connector.
- Connect the 8-Pin (6+2) PCIe cables to your graphics card(s). Use separate cables for each GPU power input if your card requires multiple.
- Connect SATA cables to your SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives.
- Connect IDE/Molex cables to any other peripherals that require them (e.g., case fans, fan controllers).

- Cable Management:
- Route cables neatly behind the motherboard tray or in designated cable management areas of your case to improve airflow and aesthetics.
- Final Checks:
- Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure.
- Close your computer case.
- Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and then to a grounded wall outlet.
