TAKE 4 — STUDIO SERIES USER'S MANUAL
CONNECTING THE POWER
The power supply conforms to the latest ATX12V Version 2.0 standard. It is also backwards-compatible with previous ATX form factor power supplies. If your motherboard has a 20-pin power receptacle, detach the 4-pin attachment on the 24-pin power connector (see pictures 1 and 2). Before you connect the power supply to any of your devices, please consult the appropriate user manuals for your motherboard and other peripherals.
[Applies only to models designed for sale in the European Union:
SmartPower 2 series power supply models designed for the EU include Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the power supply. This results in increased energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, prolonged life for power distribution and consumption equipment, and improved output voltage stability.]
The power supply is also equipped with a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect it to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You may monitor the speed of the rear power supply fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the monitoring software that's supplied with your motherboard. Note: At low temperatures, the fan may run as slow as 950RPM. At these speeds, some motherboards may not properly detect the fan speed and may generate false warnings of fan failure. To ensure proper monitoring of the fan, please check your motherboard manual.
POWER SUPPLY AIR DUCT
There is a special duct leading from the front of the chassis to the power supply. This design is in place to keep the power supply quieter by providing the power supply with its own source of air separate from the rest of the system. The power supply will draw air in from the front of the case and exhaust it out the rear.
SIDE VENTS
There are vents on the left side of the rackmount. In an open rack environment, they increase the airflow in the system by allowing more fresh air into the system when necessary. If you are keeping your rackmount in a cabinet where environmental air circulation is not as good as open
