The CP-1000 is Antec’s new high-performance power supply unit (PSU). It balances size, cost, and quality power by
combining cutting-edge technology with a new form factor. The design features in this expanded form factor allow
for improved component selection, better circuit board layout, more room between components for airflow, and a
straight-through air path that takes full advantage of the large fan. Larger fans move more air at lower RPMs and
make less noise. Antec’s new CPX form factor has better airflow than any standard size PSU that uses a large fan.
The CPX form factor is exclusively compatible with Antec’s cutting-edge Gaming and Performance One cases,
including the Twelve Hundred, P183 and P193. For an updated list of compatible enclosures, please visit

TANDARDS AND FEATURES

The connectors and power specifications of the CP-1000 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V
v2.91 specifications. The CP-1000 features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the
power supply to any AC power source between 100~240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also
features Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply
by altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.

YSTEM PROTECTION

A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP
(Short Circuit Protection), and OCP (Over Current Protection). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected
state. You will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user­replaceable fuses in your CP-1000.

PECIAL QUIET COMPUTING™

A PWM fan can spin much more slowly and be quieter than a voltage-controlled fan. The PSU uses a PWM fan that
can spin as slow as 260 RPM or as fast as 2600 RPM, depending on load and ambient temperature. It should be
nearly inaudible when your computer is idling, and the PSU will vary the fan speed depending on the load of your
computer. The location of the PSU fan also helps to reduce the sound emitted by your computer.

80 PLUS® C

80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized
independent standard in power supply efficiency. An 80
PLUS® certified power supply uses less energy and
generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last
longer. The CP-1000 has been 80 PLUS® certified to be at
least 80% efficient at a wide range of operating loads;
this will lower your operating costs and help protect the
environment.

ERTIFICATION

NVIDIA™ SLI™-R

Antec’s CP-1000 is NVIDIA™ SLI™-Ready certified for use with multiple high-end graphics cards for superior parallel
graphics processing.

OWER OUTPUT

The CP-1000 power supply distributes power on separate rails. Some rails require a minimum load in order to run.
To see the output capacity and regulation for each different voltage, see Table 1.

DVANCED HYBRID CABLE MANAGEMENT

The CP-1000 uses Advanced Hybrid Cable Management. Cables that are important or mandatory are permanently
connected to the PSU for the highest quality power delivery. There are modular jacks on the back of the PSU to
add additional cables as needed. Using only the cables you need will reduce clutter and improve airflow inside your
case. For the list of connected and optional cables, see Table 2.

M

ODULAR CABLE JACKS

There are two black jacks and two red jacks on the back of your CP-1000 PSU. These jacks are for the optional
cables that come with your power supply. The black connectors are used for Molex or SATA cables. Because of the
high power requirements of modern graphics cards, the red cables are set up to handle their needs. If you are not
using the red connectors for PCI-Express connectors, then you can use them for additional Molex or SATA cables as
needed.

+12 V

The CP-1000 uses four separate +12 volt power rails. Different connectors are hooked up to separate circuits to aid
in the balanced distribution of power between devices in your computer. The engineers have allocated the rails to
different connectors, as shown in Table 3, to prevent voltage sags in one device due to sudden demands for power
by another device.

NSTALLATION

:

1. Remove the standard PSU adapter from the Antec case to allow the larger PSU to fit.

2. Install the CP-1000 PSU into your case with the four screws provided.

3. Connect the 24-pin main power connector to your motherboard. If your motherboard uses a 20-pin
connector, detach the 4-pin attachment on the 24-pin connector.
Note: The detachable 4-pin section cannot be used in place of a 4-pin +12V connector.

4. Connect the 8-pin or 4+4-pin connector for the CPU. If your motherboard has an 8-pin socket with a cover on
some of the openings, we recommend that you remove the cover and use the 8-pin connector.
Note: Please also refer to your motherboard user’s manual for any special instructions.

5. Connect extra cables from the cable pack to the sockets on the power supply only if needed. If you are going
to plug the PCI-E cables into the PSU, they should go into the red sockets. If the red sockets are not being used
for PCI-E, then they can be used for any other type of cable supplied in the pack that accompanies the PSU.

6. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply AC inlet. Be sure to use the heavy-duty cord supplied with
your CP-1000.

7. PCI-E graphics cards use different amounts of power. For some, a single 6-pin connector is sufficient, and the
hardwired connector is the preferred choice. More powerful cards use multiple connectors, including the
advanced 8-pin PCI-E connector. The 8-pin PCI-E connector on the CP-1000 can be used as either a 6- or 8-pin
connector.

8. Hard drives, optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay™), and other accessories will use either the older 4-pin Molex
connector or the newer 15-pin SATA connector. 4-pin Molex connectors have two black wires, a yellow, and a
red. The SATA connector has an additional orange power wire.

9. When you have all the connections secured, turn the switch on the PSU to the “|” position.
