7. Operating Instructions
The Apevia ATX-PR1000W is designed for straightforward operation. After proper installation, ensure the power switch on the back of the unit is in the 'ON' position before powering on your computer.
ECO Mode
Some power supply units feature an 'ECO' mode switch. If present, this mode allows the fan to remain off under low load conditions for quieter operation. The fan will automatically activate when the load increases to maintain optimal temperatures.

8. Maintenance
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean the power supply fan and ventilation grilles to prevent dust buildup, which can hinder cooling performance. Use compressed air for best results. Ensure the power supply is off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly check all power cables for secure connections and any signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your power supply, consider the following:
- No Power: Ensure the AC power cord is securely connected to both the power supply and the wall outlet. Check the power switch on the PSU is in the 'ON' position. Verify your wall outlet is functional.
- System Instability/Crashes: This could indicate insufficient power or a faulty component. Ensure all power connectors are firmly seated. If your motherboard or GPU displays diagnostic lights (e.g., red blinking lights), consult your component's manual for specific error codes.
- Fan Noise: A noisy fan might indicate dust buildup or a failing fan. Clean the fan as described in the Maintenance section. If the noise persists, contact support.
- Overheating: Ensure adequate airflow within your computer case. Check that the power supply fan is spinning when under load.
