7. Power On: Flip the power switch on the PSU to the "I" (on) position.

Warm Reminder: The power switch is set to the "O" (off) position by default at the factory. Please switch it to the "I" (on) position prior to use.

6. Operating Instructions

Your Auotac power supply features a smart fan and customizable RGB lighting:

• Silent Mode: The 140mm low-noise fan operates in a silent mode under low load conditions. Under high load, the silent mode will automatically disable, and the fan will activate its cooling function.
• RGB Lighting Control: The PSU features ARGB lighting. Use the dedicated switch on the rear panel to adjust the lighting style according to your preferences. Connect the ARGB light cable to your motherboard's ARGB header for software control and synchronization with other components.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your power supply:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the power supply and its fan grille to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and cooling efficiency. Use a soft, dry cloth or compressed air. Ensure the power supply is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly check all modular cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Ventilation: Ensure your PC case has adequate airflow and that the power supply's fan is not obstructed.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your power supply, consider the following:

• No Power:
  • Check if the AC power cord is securely connected to both the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the power switch on the rear of the PSU is in the "I" (on) position.
  • Verify that your wall outlet is functioning correctly.
• System Instability/Crashes:
  • Ensure all modular cables are correctly and securely connected to the PSU and your components.
  • Confirm that your system's power requirements do not exceed the 1000W capacity of the PSU.
• Fan Not Spinning:
  • The fan may be in silent mode under low load. It will activate automatically when the system load increases.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the fan from spinning.
• RGB Lighting Issues:
  • Ensure the ARGB light cable is properly connected to your motherboard's ARGB header.
  • Use your motherboard's RGB software or the PSU's dedicated switch to adjust lighting modes.
