1. Carefully disconnect your PC from any power sources and pull out all cables connected to
the PC.
2. Open the PC case also following the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Disconnect all plugs from the motherboard and all other components, such as FDD, HDD or
optical drives. Ensure that there are no plugs from the old power supply connected to any of
the components.
4. Now remove the screws on the rear of the power supply and take it out carefully. Make
especially sure that no cables get caught in the components and damage them.

Please note:
In ATX systems, the power supply receives a signal from the motherboard when switched on,
without which it cannot run. For this reason, please ensure that the power switch connector
(usually located on the front panel) is correctly connected to the motherboard using either the
motherboard or case manual. If this is the case, check the power (on/off) switch, as it may be
faulty which means the power supply cannot be started. You can use the reset switch instead of
the power switch in order to avoid such faults.

Careful!
Working on power sources could lead to serious injury. You must read item 2 – „Warnings and
safety instructions" carefully. Repairs must only be carried out by authorized technicians!
If the system does not function properly with the power supply installed, first check the following
possible sources of faults:
1. Check that the power supply cable is correctly and firmly connected to the power supply and
to the socket. Ideally, use a separate power outlet for the computer power supply.
2. Check whether all connections are correctly connected and make any adjustments required,
such as incorrect polarity.
3. Examine the connection of the on/off switch from the case to the motherboard. Have the
motherboard manual on hand if needed! Switch the power supply on by turning the switch to
position „I" and press the on/off switch on the case. If the power supply still does not turn on,
continue to the next item.
4. Check your system for possible short circuits or faulty hardware, making sure you switch off
the computer and disconnect all devices not required for the computer to start. Switch it on
again. Repeat this process and switch on one of the devices you have found likely to be faulty
upon each restart. If the power supply does not react due to a short circuit, wait at least 5
minutes after the restart as the device is equipped with over power protection.
Important:
If the power supply does not work, check that you have read these instruction thoroughly and
have excluded the problems mentioned. If the problem persists, contact our customer service
department immediately.
All returns are examined by our RMA service. If a power supply is found to be faultless, it shall be
returned to the customer. A testing fee may be charged for the expense incurred.
