Installation Guide

Follow these steps for a safe and proper installation:

Safety First: Ensure the computer is powered off and disconnected from the AC outlet. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Mount PSU: Secure the EVGA Supernova 1600 G+ power supply unit into the designated bay of your computer case using the provided screws. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for airflow (typically facing down or out).
Connect Modular Cables: Attach the necessary modular cables to the PSU and your computer components. Use the correct cables for each component (e.g., 24-pin ATX, 8-pin EPS for CPU, PCIe for GPU, SATA for drives). Refer to the 'Modular Cable Management' section for details.
Cable Management: Route all cables neatly behind the motherboard tray or in other designated areas to improve airflow and aesthetics. Use the provided Velcro straps to secure bundles.
Final Connections: Connect the PSU's AC power cord to the unit and a wall outlet. Ensure the PSU's power switch is in the 'ON' position ( 'I' ).
Power On System: Turn on your computer. The Power On Self Tester (POST) LED on the PSU may indicate its status.

Important Note: Always refer to your motherboard and component manuals for specific connection requirements.

Modular Cable Management

The fully modular design allows you to connect only the cables you need, reducing clutter and improving airflow. EVGA provides a comprehensive set of modular cables for various components:

24-pin ATX Cable: Connects to the motherboard.
8-pin (4+4) EPS/ATX12V Cables: Connects to the CPU power socket on the motherboard.
PCIe 6+2 pin Cables: Connects to graphics cards.
SATA Cables: Connects to SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives.
Peripheral (Molex) Cables: Connects to older devices or case accessories.

⚠️ WARNING: Use only EVGA-certified modular cables designed for this power supply series. Using non-officially supported or incompatible cables may result in damage to your components or the power supply itself. Ensure cables are fully seated in the PSU ports.

Safety Precautions

⚠️ Do not expose the power supply to moisture, high humidity, or extreme temperatures.
? Ensure adequate ventilation around the PSU. Do not block air intake or exhaust vents.
❌ Never attempt to open the power supply unit casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and high voltages can cause severe injury.
⚠️ Always disconnect the AC power cord before performing any maintenance or installation.
Verify that your region's AC voltage matches the PSU's input requirements.
Do not overload the power supply beyond its rated capacity.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
No power to the system.	Ensure the AC power cord is securely connected to the PSU and a working wall outlet. Check that the PSU's power switch is in the 'ON' (I) position. Verify that the 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS (CPU) cables are fully seated in both the PSU and motherboard. Test the outlet with another device.
System instability or random shutdowns.	Ensure all component power connections are secure. Check that the total power draw of your components does not exceed the PSU's capacity. Verify that the PSU is adequately ventilated.
POST indicator lights are not functioning as expected.	Consult the EVGA support website for specific POST indicator codes for this model. Ensure all required cables are connected.
