2.2 Mains Voltage and Protections
The WPC works with 115 - 230 Volts. It is available with the following protective measures:
1. Over Power Protection (OPP)
If a voltage rail draws in more electricity to the power supply than the specifications allow, the power supply
will switch off.
2. Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
This function protects against excessive voltage, preventing damage to the PC by switching off the power
supply during a surge.
3. Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
If the power supply falls below a fixed number of the minimum voltage, the power supply will switch off
automatically.
4. Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
Should a short circuit occur with your PC, the SCP function switches off the power supply and protects the
electronics from damage.

5. Installation
If installing into an empty PC case, please continue to section 5.1. If a power supply is already installed,
remove it first from the case.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off your PC. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and your power supply.
2. Open the PC case. For additional information, refer to the manual of the PC case.
3. Disconnect all cables between the power supply and the other PC components (e.g. mainboard, HDDs,
drives, fans, etc.).
4. Remove the mounting screws connecting the power supply to the PC case and then carefully remove the
power supply from the case.
5.1 Installing a Power Supply into a PC Case
1. Insert the power supply into the PC case and place it against the power supply bracket on the rear panel. For
additional information, refer to the manual of the PC case.
2. Attach the power supply from the outside of the case using the provided screws. Ensure that the fan and air
vents of the built-in power supply are not covered.

5.2 Connecting Mainboard and Graphics Card(s)
1. Plug the 20+4-pin mainboard connector (Fig. 1) into the respective port of the mainboard.
2. If your mainboard also features either a 4-pin or 4+4-pin CPU connector, connect the plug with the
mainboard port (Fig. 2).
Note:
The power connection of the mainboard depends on the vendor and may vary. For detailed information on
how to establish the power connector, please refer to your mainboard’s manual.
3. If your PCIe graphics card requires an additional power supply, connected the 6-pin or 6+2-pin PCIe con-
nector to ensure the graphics card receives a stable power supply (Fig. 3).
5.3 Connecting Optical Drives and Other Peripheral Devices
Connect the IDE connector (Fig. 4), SATA connector (Fig. 5) and the Floppy connector (Fig. 6) with the appro-
priate peripherals.
Note:
For additional information, refer to the respective manuals of your drives and peripheral devices.
5.4 Checking All Connections
Ensure that all devices are properly connected. Close the PC case. Connect the power
cord with the power supply and wall outlet. Turn the power supply on. This completes
the installation of the power supply.
Note:
All connectors are designed to avoid misconnection. If the connectors are unable to connect to the main-
board, drives or peripheral devices, please check if both connectors are attached in the correct orientation.
Do not force to plug the connectors within the incorrect orientation, nor modify any of the components, as
this will damage the power supply and other hardware. SHARKOON warranty does not cover damage cause
by incorrect handling.

6. Troubleshooting
If the power supply does not work properly, please check the following:
1. Is the power cord correctly inserted into a wall outlet and the power inlet of the power supply?
2. Ensure that the on/off switch is in the “I” position.
3. Check if the 20+4-pin mainboard connector and the 4+4-pin CPU connector are correctly
attached to the mainboard.
4. Check if the cable is securely connected to the port of the peripheral devices.
5. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and let the power supply rest for about 10 minutes. This will
trigger a reset of the protection circuitry.
If the system still does not start, please contact [e-mail].
