ll. WARNING! IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
•NEVER, under any circumstances, open the power supply unit. High voltage inside the power supply may cause serious
injuries.
WARRANTY IS VOID once the cover is removed.
•DO NOT insert any object into the fan grill or the ventilation area of the power supply unit.
•DO NOT place any object in front of the fan or the ventilation area of the power supply unit that may obstruct or
restrict airflow.
•USE ONLY the Seasonic modular cables provided with the power supply unit.

•Keep the power supply unit in a dry environment, away from humidity.
•The power supply unit is for integration into a computer system and not intended for external or outdoor usage.
Ill. Special Features
•Ultra-High Efficiency, 80 PLUSS Platinum/Gold Certified
The Seasonic PRIME 80 PLUS' Platinum/Gold certified power supply is rated to achieve 92/90 % efficiency at 50 %
system load.
•Fully Modular Cabling Design
It is a flexible solution that optimizes cable management and reduces clutter inside the computer case.
•Micro Tolerance Load Regulation
Seasonic's latest design keeps the output voltage within a very tight range, achieving under 0.5 % (I % for 1000 W and
above) load regulation.

This impressive electrical performance and stability makes this power supply an ideal choice for high-performance
systems.
•Highly Reliable Aluminum Electrolytic Solid Capacitors
Top-grade, Japan-sourced components extend product life and ensure operation stability under extreme conditions.
•Top-Quality 135 mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) Fan*
The high-pressure oil between the FDB's drive shaft and bearing sleeve reduces friction and vibration to increase
product lifetime and reliability.
The 135 mm larger-sized fan allows for reduced fan rotation speed while maintaining optimal cooling.
•Premium Hybrid Fan Control*
Seasonic's vast experience in designing the most silent power supplies on the market was translated into the
development of a state-of-the-art fan control to keep the overall fan noise at a lowest possible level for an
undisturbed user experience. The industry's first, advanced three-phased thermal control finds perfect balance
between silence and cooling through three operational stages: Fanless-, Silent- and Cooling Mode; Users can

manually select between the Seasonic Standard Mode (fan control without Fanless Mode) and Hybrid Mode (fan
control including Fanless Mode) settings with the help of a selector switch found on the back panel of the power
supply. Seasonic PRIME power supplies also have a built-in fan control IC, which utilizes hysteresis to optimize how
frequently the fan switches on and off.
•Multi-GPU Technologies Supported
8-Pin and 6-Pin PCI-E connectors support all GPU platforms.
•Gold-Plated High Current Terminals
Reduces current transmission resistance and increases efficiency.
•Cable-free Connection Design*
Seasonic's engineers have implemented a new design feature, where instead of cables, the back panel and the PCB
(Printed Circuit Board) are connected by a copper plate. This breakthrough solution not only lowers the chance of
production errors during manual insertion but it also improves output power quality.

IV. Power Supply Removal
1 . Please first read Chapter ll. Warning! Important Safety Information above.
2.Make certain that your system is entirely powered off; set the power supply's AC power switch to the "O" (OFF)
position and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
3.Open the computer case (please refer to the manufacturer's user manual).
4.Carefully disconnect all the power supply's connectors from the mainboard and the peripherals.
5.Unscrew the mounting screws securing the power supply unit to the back panel of the case.
6.Carefully remove the power supply from the case.

V. Power Supply Installation
I . Place the Seasonic power supply into the space provided within the case and use the four mounting screws
provided in the accessory bag to secure it to the back panel of the case. Do not over-tighten the screws.
a. For power supplies with a built-in fan, the fan side top cover should be facing the mainboard. (Depending on the
type of computer case, this can mean either upwards or downwards facing fan cover.)
b.For fanless power supplies, Sea Sonic recommends to mount fanless power supplies into the computer case with
their ventilation cover facing UPWARDS. However, there are extra mounting-screw holes provided on the back of
the power supply to allow for reverse mounting, if necessary ,
2. Mainboard connection:
a.DO NOT force the connectors into place; the connectors are "keyed" so they can only fit one way. Make sure that
the connectors lock in their place securely.
b.Connect the power supply end of the 24/20-Pin convertible connector to the appropriate receptor on the power
supply unit.

c. Connect the mainboard end of the 24/20-Pin convertible connector to the mainboard, Depending on the
mainboard, you may need to either attach or detach the 4-Pin module Of the 24/20-Pin connector.
d.Connect the + 12 V 4-Pin connector and the EPS + 12 V connector, if applicable.
e. If your system requires dual EPS + 12 V connectors, please connect the 8-Pin end of the second CPU 8-Pin
connector into the appropriate 8-Pin receptor on the power supply unit. Then connect the mainboard end of this
8-Pin connector to the mainboard.
3. Peripheral components connection
b.DO NOT use excessive force to attach the connectors; the connectors are "keyed" so they can only fit one way.
c. Make sure that the connectors lock in tightly and securely.
4.Close the computer case according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5.Plug in the AC power cord provided in the box and switch the AC On/Off switch on the back panel Of the power
supply to the "I" (On) position.

6, The Hybrid Mode fan control selector button located on the back side of the power supply can be set to either
"OFF" (fan-aided cooling) or 'ON" (Hybrid Mode including fanless operation).
a. The "OFF" setting enables the fan to rotate continuously under any system load.
b, The "ON" setting enables the power supply to run in fanless mode up to 50 % (t 5 0/0) of the maximum rated
system load.
7. You are now ready to start your computer powered by Seasonic.
VI. Troubleshooting
If the power supply unit fails to function properly, please go through the below checklist.
1.Check to make sure the AC cord is properly connected to the AC source and the power supply unit.
2.Check to make sure the AC source is On,
3.Check to make sure the AC On/Off switch on the back panel of the power supply unit in the "I" (On) position.
4.Check and secure all mainboard and peripheral connectors.

5.The AC on/off switch on the back of the power supply unit can be toggled between "l" and "O" a few times with a 0
5 second delay in between to make sure the power supply unit is reset.
6.If you are still experiencing difficulties to get the power supply unit to function properly, please visit
www.seasonic.com for further technical support.
