BE QUIET! DARK POWER PRO Bedienungsanleitung Seite 24

WARMTH-DEPENDENT AIR VELOCITY CONTROL:
be quiet! power supplys from the Dark Power PRO series make use of a very precise air velocity control. This automa-
tic control not only controls the fan in the power supply, but can also control the case fan that can be connected to
the power supply. The application is rather simple: only the case fans that are usually equipped with a 3 pole and/or
4 pole connector must be connected with the respective connections onto the power supply.
The speed of the fan is regulated depending on the warmth development in the power supply. If the temperature in-
creases, the fans automatically begin to turn faster in order to ensure a quick and effective cooling within the case.
The cooling that is quickly created then contributes to the longer lifespan of its components and the power supply.
When connecting individual fans to the power supply, please ensure that these fans do not have their own thermal
sensors or potentiometers.
The air velocity control disposes of an gear-up impulse. This ensures that all connected case fans are
brought into gear in that a short impulse with a high level of voltage starts the fan.

SILENT WING:
The fans built into the be quiet! Dark Power PRO are very dependable. As a result of the high efficiency of the power
supply, you only require a very low amount of component cooling, which then precipitates in the special running
smoothness of the fan. The 120 mm large fan is located on the underside of the power supply and ensures an
optimal cooling of the components.
CONTROLLING FAN ROTATIONAL SPEED (POWER SUPPLY FANS) VIA THE MAINBOARD:
A cable on the power supply makes the connection of the power supply fan to your mainboard possible. You can
read the speed indicator signal of your power supply fan via the mainboard (BIOS). The cable is to be connected to
the intended slot on the mainboard and can then read the speed of the fan in the BIOS and/or operational system.
Consult the manual of your mainboard as to whether this function is available.
ECASO (FAN FOLLOW-UP CONTROL):
ECASO stands for Enhanced Cooling After System Off and is to be indicated as a fan follow-up control. If the PC
is turned off, all fans normally stop although it is still very warm in the interior case. With the ECASO control, this
problem is solved by be quiet!. The power supply fan and all case fans attached to the power supply re-run after the
system has been turned off for 3 minutes. The warmth is quickly and efficiently removed from the case after operati-
on and does not damage its hardware.
