HCP-850 Platinum
Antec’s High Current Pro Platinum series is the pinnacle of power supplies. High Current Pro Platinum
is fully modular with a revolutionary 20+8-pin MBU socket for the needs of tomorrow. By using a PSU
that is 80 PLUS® PLATINUM certified & ErP Lot 6: 2013, operating up to 94% efficient, you can reduce
your electricity bill by up to 25% when compared to many other power supplies. HCP Platinum’s
innovative 16-pin sockets create a new level of flexibility by doubling the modular connectivity,
supporting two different 8-pins connectors and even future connectors of 10, 12, 14 or 16-pins. Backed
by a 7-year warranty and lifetime global 24/7 support, the HCP-850 Platinum embodies everything a
power supply can accomplish today.
STANDARDS AND FEATURES
The connectors and power specifications of the HCP-850 Platinum PSU are all compatible with ATX12V
v2.32 and EPS12V v2.92 specifications. The HCP-850 Platinum features Universal Input, which
automatically senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V
without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC),
which improves the power factor value of the power supply by altering the input current wave shape,
helping to power transmission across the grid.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protection
(OCP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP),
Over Power Protection (OPP), Over Temparature Protection (OTP), Surge & Inrush Protection (SIP), No
Load Operation (NLO) & Brown-Out Protection (BOP). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected
state. You will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no
user-replaceable fuses in your HCP-850 Platinum.

MODULAR CABLE JACKS
There are six 5-pin black jacks and five 16-pin black jacks on the back of your HCP-850 Platinum PSU.
These jacks are for the optional cables that come with your power supply.
Caution: Please connect only cables provided with this HCP-850 Platinum. Other cables may not be
compatible!
20+8-pin MBU connection
You can connect 1 or 2 modular 8-pin cables into any of the 16-pin sockets
OC Link™ System Installation
Connect the included OC Link™ cable to two Antec HCP Platinum power supplies. You can use any
combination of models such as 850 + 1000 or 1300 + 1300. You can connect any system component to
either PSU without restrictions. Please read the chapter “INSTALLATION” for general installation help.
Please turn the “I/O” switch on both power supplies to “I” (On). After completion of set-up, simply turn
on the system.

80 PLUS® CERTIFICATION
80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized
independent standard in power supply efficiency. An 80
PLUS® certified power supply uses less energy and
generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last
longer. The HCP-850 Platinum has been 80 PLUS®
PLATINUM certified to be at least 89% efficient at a wide
range of operating loads; this will lower your operating
costs and help protect the environment.

INSTALLATION
Install the PSU into either the top or bottom of your case with the four screws provided. Refer to your
case manual if you are unsure where the power supply should be installed.
Connect the 24-pin main power connector to your motherboard.
Connect the 8-pin or 4+4-pin connector for the CPU. If your motherboard has an 8-pin socket with a
cover on some of the openings, we recommend that you remove the cover and use the 8-pin
connector.
Note: Please also refer to your motherboards manual for any special instructions.

7
Connect the AC power cord to the power supply AC inlet. Be sure to use the heavy-duty cord supplied
with your PSU.
PCI-E graphics cards use different amounts of power. For some, a single 6-pin connector is sufficient,
making the hardwired connector the preferred choice. More powerful cards use multiple connectors,
including the advanced 8-pin PCI-E connector. The 8-pin PCI-E connector on the PSU can be used as
either a 6- or 8-pin connector.
Hard drives, optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay™) and other accessories will use either the older 4-pin
Molex connector or the newer 15-pin SATA connector. 4-pin Molex connectors have two black, one
yellow and one red wire. The SATA connector has an additional orange power wire.
When you have all the connections secured, turn the switch on the PSU to the “|” position.
