5. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon

Follow these steps to install your Antec GSK850 PSU into your computer system:

1. Prepare Sistèm ou an: Asire w òdinatè w la etenn nèt epi li debranche nan priz miray la. Louvri bwat òdinatè w la.
2. Retire ansyen PSU a (si sa aplikab): If replacing an existing PSU, disconnect all cables from the old PSU and remove its mounting screws. Carefully slide it out of the case.
3. Monte nouvo PSU a: Slide the Antec GSK850 into the PSU mounting bay of your computer case. Align the screw holes and secure the PSU with the provided mounting screws.
4. Konekte Kab Esansyèl yo: Refer to Figure 4.2 for cable types and lengths. Connect the necessary modular cables to the PSU first, then to your motherboard and components:
   • Kab kat manman ATX 24-pin: Connect to your motherboard's main power connector.
   • 8-pin (4+4) CPU Power Cable(s): Connect to your motherboard's CPU power connector(s).
   • PCIe 5.1 12VHPWR (16-pin) or 8-pin (6+2) PCIe Cables: Connect to your graphics card(s) as required.
   • Kab pouvwa SATA: Konekte ak SSD, HDD, ak lektè optik.
   • Molex Cables: Connect to any peripherals requiring Molex power.
5. Jesyon kab: Route cables neatly behind the motherboard tray or in designated cable management areas to improve airflow and aesthetics.
6. Fèmen bwat la epi konekte kouran an: Once all connections are secure, close your computer case. Plug the AC power cord into the PSU and then into a grounded wall outlet.

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

Operating the Antec GSK850 PSU is straightforward:

• Pouvwa sou: After installation, ensure the power switch on the back of the PSU is in the 'ON' (I) position. Then, power on your computer using the case's power button.
• Zewo RPM mòd: The PSU's fan will remain off when the power load is low, providing silent operation. As the system load increases, the fan will automatically activate and adjust its speed to maintain optimal temperatures. This is normal operation and indicates the Zero RPM Manager is functioning correctly.
• Pouvwa Off: To power off your system, use the operating system's shutdown function. For complete power disconnection, switch the PSU's power switch to the 'OFF' (O) position and unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

7. Antretyen

NAN. Depanaj

If you encounter issues with your Antec GSK850 PSU, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Pa gen pouvwa:
  • Asire w ke kòd kouran AC a byen branche nan tou de PSU a ak priz miray la.
  • Check that the PSU's power switch on the back is in the 'ON' (I) position.
  • Verify all modular cables are securely connected to both the PSU and the components.
  • Teste priz miray la ak yon lòt aparèy pou asire w ke li gen kouran.
• Enstabilite/Pwoblèm Sistèm:
  • Asire w ke PSU ou a ap chofetage is sufficient for all your system components.
  • Tcheke pou koneksyon kab ki lach.
  • The PSU's CircuitShield protection suite (OCP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OPP, OTP, SIP, NLO) will automatically shut down the PSU in case of an electrical fault to protect your components. If this occurs, disconnect power, check for short circuits or faulty components, and then attempt to restart.
