Installation Guide
Safety First: Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before installing or removing the PSU. Ensure the PSU is switched off. Ground yourself properly to prevent static discharge. [static-discharge-protection]
- Mount the PSU: Secure the PSU into the designated bay in your computer case using the provided screws. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for airflow (typically facing down or out).
- Connect Cables: Attach the necessary modular cables to the PSU. Connect the appropriate cables to your motherboard (24-pin ATX, 4+4 pin EPS/CPU), graphics card (12VHPWR or PCIe), storage drives (SATA), and other peripherals (Molex).
- Cable Management: Route cables neatly behind the motherboard tray or in designated channels to improve airflow and aesthetics.
- Final Check: Ensure all connections are secure and no loose cables are obstructing fans.
- Power On: Connect the power cord to the PSU and the wall outlet. Switch the PSU on using the rear power switch. [power-switch]
System Protections
The Enermax Revolution ATX 3.0 PSU is equipped with multiple safety features to protect your components:
- OVP (Over Voltage Protection): Shuts down the PSU if the output voltage exceeds a safe level.
- UVP (Under Voltage Protection): Shuts down the PSU if the output voltage drops below a safe level.
- OCP (Over Current Protection): Shuts down the PSU if the current drawn exceeds a safe limit on a specific rail.
- OPP (Over Power Protection): Shuts down the PSU if the total power output exceeds the rated capacity.
- SCP (Short Circuit Protection): Shuts down the PSU immediately if a short circuit occurs.
- OTP (Over Temperature Protection): Shuts down the PSU if internal components overheat.
Troubleshooting
PSU does not power on:
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the PSU and the wall outlet.
- Check that the PSU switch on the back is in the 'I' (On) position. [power-switch]
- Verify that all internal power connectors are properly seated on the motherboard and components.
- Test with a different power outlet or cable.
System instability or random shutdowns:
- Ensure the PSU wattage is sufficient for your system components, especially the graphics card.
- Check for overheating components, which might trigger OTP.
- Verify that all power cables are securely connected.
