Southeast Asia, and many other countries).
5RF-550WPS
Caution: Make sure that you connect the PSU (Power supply unit) to local input AC
voltage only. Setting the incorrect voltage can damage the power supply and
connected equipment and may void your warranty. The RF-550WPS is compatible
with 115 VAC and 230 VAC input voltage.
2 Turn off your computer, then unplug the power cord from your old
power supply.
3 Open your computer case following the directions provided in your case
