please observe!
In ATX systems, the power supply receives the signal from the connected mainboard in order to be started up. For
this reason, please check whether – with the help of the mainboard or the case manual – the activation/deactivati-
on is connected correctly.
ATTENTION:
Work with the electrical sources can lead to life-threatening injuries. In cases of trails of smoke, damaged cables
and the effects of fluids, the power supply is to be immediately unplugged from its source of electricity and after
that, no longer brought into operation.
Never unscrew the power supply. The are components in the interior that can contain high amounts of voltage when
not used for a long period of time. Please have any and all necessary repairs be conducted by an authorized expert!
If the system for an installed power supply does not function properly, you must first check for these possible sour-
ces of error:
A. Make sure the electrical cable is plugged into both the socket and the power supply correctly and tightly. Ideally,
you use a separate can only for the computer power supply.
B. Check to make sure that all connections are correctly connected to each other and correct them if necessary, for
example, in the case of polarity.
C. Inspect the connection of the on and off switch from the case to the mainboard. If necessary, consult your main-
board instruction manual! Switch on the power supply by placing the switch on position „I" and activating the on/off
switch on the case. If the power supply doesn't allow itself to be turned on, continue with the next point.
D. Check your system for possible short circuits or defective hardware in that you turn off your computer and sepa-
rate all of the devices from the system that are not required for starting your computer. Turn the computer back on.
Repeat this step and after each re-start, close one of the devices until you have found the supposed defect. If the
power supply does not react due to a short circuit, wait at least 5 minutes until you re-start your computer because
the device is equipped with overload protection.
