4. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety guidelines to prevent damage to the PSU, your system, and to ensure personal safety:

• Do not open the PSU casing. High voltages are present inside, and opening it will void the warranty.
• Do not insert any objects into the fan grille or ventilation openings of the PSU.
• Do not block the PSU's ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow for proper cooling.
• Use only the modular cables provided with this PSU. Using incompatible cables may cause damage.
• Ensure the PSU is installed in a well-ventilated area and away from heat sources or liquids.
• Connect the PSU to a grounded power outlet.
• Before installing or removing the PSU, ensure the system is powered off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

5. Installation Guide

5.1 Physical Installation

1. Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the side panel of your computer case to access the PSU mounting area.
3. Place the ANTEC NeoECO NE1000G M PSU into the designated PSU bay in your computer case. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction (usually downwards for bottom-mounted PSUs, or according to case design for optimal airflow).
4. Secure the PSU to the case using the provided mounting screws.

5.2 Cable Connections

Connect only the necessary modular cables to the PSU and your components. This improves airflow and cable management.

1. Connect the 24-pin M/B cable to the motherboard.
2. Connect the 8(4+4)pin CPU cables to the CPU power connectors on your motherboard. High-end CPUs may require two such cables.
3. For your graphics card, use the appropriate PCIe cables. For NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, use the included 16-pin (12+4)pin PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR cable. For other GPUs, use the 8(6+2)pin PCIe cables.

4. Connect SATA cables to your storage drives (SSDs, HDDs) and other SATA-powered devices.
5. Connect Molex cables to any peripherals requiring Molex power.
6. Once all necessary cables are connected, manage them neatly to improve airflow within the case.
7. Replace the computer case side panel.
8. Connect the AC power cord to the PSU and then to a grounded wall outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Zero RPM Manager

The ANTEC NeoECO NE1000G M features a Zero RPM fan mode for quieter operation under low to moderate loads. In this mode, the 120mm FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) fan will remain off until the PSU reaches a certain temperature threshold or power output level. This minimizes noise during light tasks or idle states.

6.2 Silent 120mm FDB Fan

The whisper-quiet, 120mm fluid-dynamic bearing (FDB) fan provides high airflow with the durability and longevity that is a signature of Antec quality. The fan's operation is automatically managed to provide optimal cooling while minimizing noise levels.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PSU, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Keep it Clean: Periodically clean the exterior of the PSU and its fan grille with a soft, dry cloth. Use compressed air to gently remove dust buildup from the fan and internal components, ensuring the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Ensure Proper Ventilation: Make sure the PSU's intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed by cables, dust, or other objects.
• Check Cable Connections: Occasionally check that all modular cables are securely plugged into both the PSU and your components.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ANTEC NeoECO NE1000G M PSU, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power:
  • Ensure the AC power cord is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Check that the power switch on the back of the PSU is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
  • Confirm all modular cables (24-pin M/B, CPU, PCIe) are correctly and firmly seated.
• System Instability/Crashes:
  • Ensure your PSU wattage is sufficient for all your components, especially high-power GPUs.
  • Check for loose cable connections.
  • Monitor system temperatures to ensure components are not overheating.
  • If possible, test the PSU with another system or use a PSU tester to verify its functionality.
• Loud Fan Noise:
  • Ensure the PSU's fan intake/exhaust is not obstructed.
  • Clean any dust buildup from the fan grille.
  • Note that the fan will spin up under higher loads; this is normal operation. The Zero RPM mode keeps the fan off at low loads.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Antec customer support for further assistance.
