4.7. Advanced Protection Features

The PSU incorporates a Mainstream LLC resonant + DC-DC structure to meet CPU and GPU power supply requirements (100-240Vac). It supports dual CPU P8 (4+4) for server motherboards and includes comprehensive protection features: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), OCP (Over Current Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), OTP (Over Temperature Protection), UVP (Under Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection).

5. Installation

Follow these steps to install your Redragon RGPS-750W PSU:

1. Prepare Your System: Ensure your computer is completely powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your PC case.
2. Remove Old PSU (if applicable): Disconnect all cables from your old power supply. Unscrew and remove the old PSU from the case.
3. Mount the New PSU: Place the Redragon RGPS-750W into the PSU mounting bay of your PC case. Secure it with the provided mounting screws. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction (usually downwards, drawing air from the bottom of the case, or upwards if your case design requires it).
4. Connect Essential Cables:
   • Connect the 24-pin ATX cable to your motherboard.
   • Connect the 8-pin (4+4) CPU power cable(s) to your motherboard.
   • Connect the appropriate PCIe 8-pin (6+2) cables to your graphics card(s).
   • Connect SATA power cables to your SSDs/HDDs and other SATA devices.
   • Connect IDE/Molex cables to any legacy devices or case fans requiring them.
5. Cable Management: Utilize the flat black modular cables to route them neatly behind the motherboard tray or in designated cable management areas. This improves airflow and aesthetics.
6. Close Case and Power On: Once all connections are secure, close your PC case. Plug the AC power cord into the PSU and then into a wall outlet. Flip the power switch on the PSU to the 'ON' position. Power on your computer.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On/Off

Use the main power switch located on the back of the PSU to turn the unit on or off. For normal operation, keep it in the 'ON' position.

6.2. Zero RPM Fan Mode

The Zero RPM fan mode operates automatically. The fan will remain off during low loads for silent operation and will activate automatically when the internal temperature exceeds 60°C to ensure optimal cooling.

6.3. RGB Lighting Control

The PSU's RGB lighting can be controlled via a dedicated button on the PSU itself (if available) or synchronized with your motherboard's RGB software. Refer to your motherboard's manual for software-based RGB control. The PSU offers 9 RGB modes and 26 selected colors.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of your PSU:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the PSU and its fan grille using a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use compressed air to remove dust from the fan and internal components. Always disconnect power before cleaning.
• Cable Inspection: Occasionally check all modular cable connections to ensure they are firmly seated.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the PC case has adequate airflow and that the PSU's intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PSU, try the following:

• No Power:
  • Check if the AC power cord is securely plugged into both the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the main power switch on the PSU is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that all modular cables are correctly and firmly connected to the PSU and components.
  • Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it has power.
• System Instability/Crashes:
  • Ensure your system's power requirements do not exceed the PSU's 750W capacity.
  • Check for proper ventilation and ensure the PSU is not overheating.
  • Verify that all power connections to the motherboard, CPU, and GPU are secure.
• Fan Not Spinning:
  • The Zero RPM mode keeps the fan off at low loads. The fan will only spin when the internal temperature exceeds 60°C. This is normal operation.
  • If the system is under heavy load and the fan is still not spinning, contact customer support.
