Step 2.
If Necessary, Install the Power Supply
If necessary, install the power supply in your case as shown in Photo 2. Secure the
power supply with screws and bolts as applicable as shown in Photo 3.
Set the power supply to the correct voltage setting—either 115V or 230V as shown in
Photo 4. In the United States we use 115V.
WARNING
Do not plug the power supply into a wall outlet until you have completed
all the steps of building your PC and you are ready to turn it on for the
first time.
AMD Athlon processor-based computer systems distribute power to the motherboard
whenever the power supply is plugged into the wall. You can damage components by
inserting them or removing them from the system when the power supply is plugged
in—even when the system is turned off.
Always unplug the power supply from the wall outlet when you work inside your
computer system.
