TruePower Quattro
High efficiency modular power supply

Models: TPQ-850, TPQ-1000

The TruePower Quattro Power Supply Unit (PSU) series is compatible with EPS12V v2.91
and ATX12V specifications. TruePower Quattro has increased output power
distribution to match the newest Intel® and AMD™ server level processor requirements.
It includes four +12V outputs that deliver safer and more reliable power to your
system’s components. It also includes a variety of industrial-grade protective cir­cuitry: OCP (Over Current Protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP (Short
Circuit Protection), and UVP (Under Voltage Protection).

TruePower Quattro power supplies generate less heat because they are designed
for high efficiency. This keeps the power supply itself cooler and prolongs its
working life. TruePower Quattro power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification,
the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency.

Special Quiet Computing™ fan operation

TruePower Quattro PSU features an innovative design to help decrease noise during
normal use, but still allow for superior cooling capabilities as loads increase. With its
high efficiency and low heat generation, the power supply utilizes a smaller fan.
The exhaust fan rotates slowly and quietly to blow hot air out of the power supply,
speeding up as heat increases. The TruePower Quattro PSU features Universal
Input, which allows you to connect the power supply to any AC power source
between 100~240V without having to worry about setting a voltage switch. This
power supply also features Active PFC, which improves the power factor value of
the power supply by altering the input current wave shape and thus helps transmission
across the power grid.

Advanced cable management system

TruePower Quattro power supplies feature Antec’s advanced cable management
system, which allows you to use only the power cables that you need, thereby
reducing clutter and improving airflow inside your case. Inside the package, apart
from a power cord, you will find the following (See Table 1 )

1. The 24-pin main power connector with detachable 4-pin section for
20-pin applications.

2. The 8-pin +12V and 4-pin +12V connector.

3. Two 8-pin with detachable 2-pin PCI-E connectors.

4. Five 6-pin output sockets, for use with the cable sets to power your drives
and other peripherals.

Run Cool, Run Reliably, Run with 80 PLUS®

About 80 PLUS®:

80 PLUS® is an innovative, electric utility-funded incentive program to integrate
more energy-efficient power supplies into desktop computers and servers.
The 80 PLUS performance specifications require power supplies in computers and
servers to be 80% or greater energy efficient. This makes an 80 PLUS certified
power supply at least 33% more efficient than current power supplies.
80 PLUS certified power supplies:

• Achieve energy savings, up to $70 (55 Euro) over the life of a desktop computer

• Reduce a room’s cooling load, increasing comfort and saving up to 30%

• Increase computer system reliability and save on maintenance costs by as

much as 40%

• Minimize the need for noisy fans, creating a quieter environment

• Save on construction – saves hundreds of dollars in electrical system upgrades

• Allow more computers on the same branch circuit

• Save the environment – prevent pollution by reducing energy consumption
