4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your XPG Core Reactor II Power Supply into your computer system.

1. Prepare Your System: Ensure your computer is completely powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your computer case.
2. Remove Old Power Supply (if applicable): Disconnect all cables from your old power supply and remove its mounting screws. Carefully slide it out of the case.
3. Mount the New Power Supply: Position the XPG Core Reactor II Power Supply in the designated PSU bay of your computer case. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly (typically facing downwards or upwards depending on case design and ventilation). Secure it with the provided mounting screws.
4. Connect Modular Cables: Due to its full modular design, you only need to connect the cables required for your components.
   • Motherboard Power: Connect the 24-pin ATX cable to the corresponding port on the power supply and the motherboard.
   • CPU Power: Connect the 4+4-pin EPS/CPU cable to the power supply and the CPU power connector(s) on your motherboard.
   • Graphics Card Power: Connect the 6+2-pin PCIe cables to the power supply and your graphics card(s). Use separate cables for each connector on high-power GPUs if possible.
   • SATA Devices: Connect SATA power cables to your SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives.
   • Peripheral Devices: Connect peripheral (Molex) cables for case fans or other accessories as needed.
5. Cable Management: Route cables neatly to improve airflow and aesthetics within your case.
6. Close Case and Connect Power: Once all connections are secure, close your computer case. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and then to a wall outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating the XPG Core Reactor II Power Supply is straightforward once installed.

• Power On: Ensure the power switch on the back of the power supply (next to the AC inlet) is in the 'I' (On) position. Then, power on your computer using the case's power button.
• Efficiency: The 80 Plus Gold certification indicates high energy efficiency, meaning less wasted heat and lower electricity consumption compared to less efficient power supplies.
• Active PFC: The Active Power Factor Correction feature automatically adjusts the input current waveform to improve the power factor, leading to more stable and cleaner power delivery to your components.
• Power Off: To shut down your system, use the operating system's shutdown function. For complete power disconnection, switch the power supply's switch to the 'O' (Off) position and unplug the AC power cord.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your power supply.

• Dust Removal: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months), power off and unplug your computer. Use compressed air to gently blow dust out of the power supply's fan grille and ventilation openings. Hold the fan blades to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearings.
• Cable Inspection: Occasionally check all connected modular cables to ensure they are securely seated and free from damage.
• Environmental Check: Ensure the operating environment remains clean, dry, and within recommended temperature ranges.
