- CPU Power: Connect the 8-pin (4+4-pin) CPU cable(s) to the CPU ports on the power supply and your motherboard.
- PCIe Power: For graphics cards, use the appropriate PCIe 6+2-pin cables. This PSU also features native 12V-2x6 connectors for compatible GPUs. Ensure secure connections for high-power graphics cards.
- SATA Power: Connect SATA power cables to your storage drives (SSDs, HDDs) and optical drives.
- Peripheral Power: Use peripheral (Molex) cables for other components requiring this connection type.
After connecting all necessary internal components, connect the AC power cord to the power supply's inlet and then to a wall outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
Once all connections are secure, flip the main power switch on the back of the power supply to the 'ON' position. You can then power on your computer system via the case's power button.

5.2 Eco Switch Functionality
The Eco Switch, located on the rear of the power supply, controls the fan's operation. When the Eco Switch is in the 'ON' position, the power supply fan will remain off under low load conditions (typically below 30% load) for silent operation. The fan will activate automatically when the load increases. When the Eco Switch is in the 'OFF' position, the fan operates continuously.

5.3 80 PLUS Platinum Efficiency
This power supply is 80 PLUS Platinum certified, meaning it achieves over 92% efficiency at typical loads. This reduces wasted energy, heat generation, and operating costs.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your power supply, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the power supply's fan and ventilation grilles using compressed air. Ensure the power supply is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Airflow: Ensure that your computer case has good airflow and that the power supply's intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed.
- Conformal Coating: The Hydro PTM PRO series features a conformal coating that protects internal components from dust, humidity, and stains, enhancing reliability in various environments.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your power supply, perform the following basic checks:
- No Power:
- Ensure the AC power cord is securely connected to both the power supply and the wall outlet.
- Verify the main power switch on the PSU is in the 'ON' position.
- Check all modular cable connections to the motherboard, CPU, and graphics card.
- Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it has power.
- System Instability/Crashes:
- Ensure all power connectors are fully seated. Loose connections can cause instability.
- Verify that your system's power requirements do not exceed the PSU's capacity.
- Check for proper ventilation within your case to prevent overheating.
- Fan Noise:
- If the Eco Switch is 'ON', the fan may cycle on and off as load changes. This is normal operation.
- If unusual noises persist, ensure no cables are obstructing the fan.
If problems persist after performing these checks, contact FSP customer support.
