MODULAR DESIGN
Reduce clutter in the case, improve ambient temperatures with better airflow overall and provide a clean look to
any system. Modular PSU designs allow the user to disconnect the cable from the power supply side if they
are not needed for the specific configuration. This can help free up space inside the case and improve cable
management as well as airflow throughout the system.
Features
1. Remove the power supply from its packaging.
2. Use the screws provided with your case to install the power supply into
your computer. NOTE: It is recommended to install the power supply with
the fan facing down. However, if your case places the power supply at the
bottom of the case and there are no ventilation holes available, it may be
best to install the power supply with the fan facing up for greater efficiency
and reliability.
