SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read and follow all the information contained in these instructions carefully prior
to installation. The power supply is only guaranteed to function properly if the instructions
are followed thus providing you with maximum satisfaction with this product.
Caution: Only use the supplied cable set. Using cables that were not included (e.g. cables of older
power supply unit series) may lead to defects!
Never open the power supply case. The electronic components inside the case generate a high voltage
that is dangerous to humans. Even after disconnecting the power supply from the network, some
parts still have high voltages. For this reason, a power supply adapter should only be opened by an
authorised technician.
Opening the device voids your warranty.
∙ Never handle the power supply with wet or damp hands when in operation.
∙ Never insert objects into the power supply's apertures/fans.
∙ Note that the power supply is designed for use indoors in conditions without high levels of moisture
in the ambient air. Using the power supply outdoors will lead to serious damage.
∙ Never work on the power supply while it is connected to the mains. In this case, always set the power
switch to "0" and if necessary, disconnect the power plug.
∙ In the event of a short circuit in the device, unplug the mains cable and do not use the device.
Make sure that your PC is not located directly next to a heating system or any other source of heat.
Make sure that your computer case is sufficiently ventilated by means of additional fans; with today's
complex and powerful systems an ATX-compatible power supply is incapable of dissipating the heat
produced in the PC case without additional support.
