Before proceeding with installation, please read this manual in its entirety.
Step A: Removing your existing power supply
If you are building a new system, skip to Step B.
1. Disconnect the AC power cord from your wall outlet or UPS and from
the existing power supply.
2. Disconnect all the power cables from your video card, motherboard
and all other peripherals.
3. Follow the directions in your chassis manual and uninstall your existing
power supply.
4. Proceed to Step B.
Step B: Installing the Corsair Builder Series power supply
1. Make sure the power supply's AC power cable is not connected.
2. Follow the directions in your chassis manual and install the power supply
with the screws provided.
3. Connect the main 24-pin power cable. The main 24-pin power cable has a
detachable 4-pin mechanism in order to support either a 24-pin or a 20-pin
socket on the motherboard.
a. If your motherboard has a 24-pin socket, you may connect the 24-pin
main power cable from the power supply directly to your motherboard.
8
b. If your motherboard has a 20-pin socket, you must detach the 4-pin
cable from the 24-pin connector, and then plug the 20-pin cable onto
your motherboard without connecting the 4-pin connector.
4. Connect the 8-pin +12V (EPS12V) cable.
a. If your motherboard has an 8-pin +12V socket, connect the 8-pin
cable directly to your motherboard.
b. If your motherboard has a 4-pin socket, detach the 4-pin from
the 8-pin cable, and then plug this 4-pin cable directly to
your motherboard.
WARNING: The detachable 4-pin from the 24-pin main connector is not a "P4"
or "+12V" connector. Serious damage can be caused if you use it in place of a
"P4" or "+12V" connector.
5. Connect the peripheral cables, PCI-Express cables, and SATA cables.
a. Connect the peripheral cables to your hard drive and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
power sockets.
b. Connect the SATA cables to your SATA SSD or hard drive's power sockets.
c. Connect the PCI-Express cables to the power sockets of your PCI-Express
video cards if required.
d. Connect the peripheral cables to any peripherals requiring a small
4-pin connector.
e. Make sure all the cables are tightly connected.
6. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and turn it on by pushing the
switch to the ON position (marked with "I").
Congratulations! You have completed installation of your new Corsair Builder Series
power supply and your system is ready to go!
