S TRICTLY P OWER
The VP450 is crafte for quality, performance an incre ible value. This entry-level solution gives you
everything you nee in a power supply. No twinkly lights or glittery paint jobs: a 120 mm fan for effective
an quiet cooling, ual +12V rails for amazingly stable power an heavy- uty protection circuitry for peace
of min , no matter how eman ing your system. An it comes with all the assurance of Antec’s AQ2 Antec
Quality 2 year limite warranty. All the features, none of the waste: for buil ers that are strictly business,
the VP450 is strictly power.
S TANDARDS AND F EATURES
The connectors an power specifications of the VP450 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 an EPS12V v2.91
specifications. The VP450 also features 450 watts of Continuous Power, the actual stable power a PSU can output
continuously at maximum loa level.
S YSTEM P ROTECTION
A variety of in ustrial-gra e safety circuitry will help protect your computer: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP
(Short Circuit Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection) an OCP (Over Current Protection). Sometimes the PSU
will “latch” into a protecte state. You will nee to power off the PSU an clear the fault before it will function
again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your VP450.
P OWER O UTPUT & C ONNECTORS
The VP450 power supply istributes power on separate rails. Some rails require a minimum loa in or er to run. To
see the output capacity an regulation for each ifferent voltage, see Table 1. A list of all available power
connectors can be foun in Table 2.
