Please read thoroughly before using the product.
1. Safety Precautions
Warnings
Serious injury or death can occur.
▶ Opening the cover of the product while the power cord
is plugged into the outlet can result in electrocution or
critical damage to the product.
▶Handling the power cord with wet hands can result
in electrocution.
▶Inserting fingers or metallic objects into the cooling
fan can result in injury or electrocution.
Cautions
Minor injury can occur. May degrade product
conditions or cause malfunction.
▶Operating in an e tremely cold or hot environment
can degrade product performance and lifespan.
▶Allowing liquid to get into the product can result in
malfunction.
▶Operating in a humid or non-ventilated environment
can reduce product lifespan.
2. Components
3. Notes on Installation
1) One Power Supply
2) One FAN Multi-connector (ZM-MC1)
󳢹(For supplying power to an e tra fan. See page 5 for details.)
3) One S-ATA power convert cable
4) One PCI-E press VGA SLI sub-Cable for power conversion
5) One Power Cord for AC Power Source (Not included in some countries)
6) One User's Manual
7) Zalman Cable Tie
※To ensure safe and easy installation, first read the Safety Precautions above, then read the
following notes.
▣Plugging the main power connector P1 into the main board while the product is connected to the
AC power source may result in damage to the main board.
▣Do not insert the DC output connectors with too much force into devices as the shape of the connector
is meant to prevent incorrect insertion.
▣After installation, if the Power On light on the case does not light up when the main power button
is pressed, some devices may be plugged in incorrectly or the main board may be faulty.
Please double-check the installation.

4. The Zalman dvantage
With the goal of enhancing your computing environment, all Zalman Tech products are ultra-quiet.
This product is an ultra quiet 460W ATX Ver. 2.03 / ATX12V Ver. 2.01 power supply supporting
SLI-capable Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 & AMD Athlon 64/64 FX CPU equipped systems.
By implementing heat-sensor circuitry that controls the cooling fan’s speed (rpm) in relation to
the temperature within the power supply, noise has been greatly reduced.
The graph below shows the CNPS characteristics of our product.
※CNPS (Computer Noise Prevention System) refers to a system that reduces a conventional
computer’s noise (30dB or more) to an inaudible level (20dB or less). In order to create a true
noise-free computer, Zalman’s other noise-free products should be used together with this product.
▣CNPS (Computer Noise Prevention System) with uto Control Cooling Fan
By implementing Active PFC, the power factor (PF) is improved from 75% (Passive PFC) to 96%
(230VAC, Full load), while harmful harmonic frequencies are reduced below regulatory requirements.
▣Improving Power Factor & Eliminating Harmonics through ctive PFC
Designed with a high switching frequency and low power-loss circuitry, the efficiency of this
product e ceeds 80%
(230VAC, Full load).
▣ High Efficiency Design
◈ Fig.1: Noise Level(dB) Changes In relations to Power Supply's Internal Temperature
Noise Level of ZM460-APS (in dB)
※ The graph above shows that the ZM460-APS in “Noiseless” or “Silent” mode can operate when
the power supply's internal temperature is kept below 56
℃ . This information is in compliance
with the 2nd Revision of ISO7779, an international standard for noise level measurement.
Results may vary for different system configuration and/or the test environment.

ATX “20+4” - Pin main connector broadens mainboard compatibility.
▣ TX “20+4” - Pin Main Connector
Use two ATX12V 2*2(4-pin) connectors together to form an EPS12V CPU connector(8-pin).
▣ TX12V CPU (4-Pin) & EPS12V CPU (8-Pin) Connectors
PCI-E press graphics card power connector is provided to high-end graphics card support.
▣ PCI-Express Graphics Card Power Connector (6-Pin)
EZ Conectors for ODD & HDD for easy connecting and disconnecting of the plugs.
▣ EZ Connectors for ODD & HDD
Two +12VDC rails output up to 30A combined, providing more stable power to high-end systems.

※Each DC output had a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor and a 10 μF electrolytic capacitor attached as the
bypass and the oscilloscope (input impedance 1M
Ω ) measured the waveforms at 20MHz
frequency bandwidth. The waveforms may differ with varying measurement conditions.
