ERTIFICATION

 

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 HCG-400M has been 80 PLUS® Bronze 
certified to be at least 82% efficient at a wide range of 
operating loads; this will lower your operating costs and 
help protect the environment.

ANAGEMENT

 

The HCG-400M uses Intelligent 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.

There are two 5-pin black jacks and four 10-pin red jacks on the back of your HCG-400M PSU. These jacks are for 
the optional cables that come with your power supply. A modular 10-pin connector system allows you plug 5-pin 
connectors into the 10-pin jacks if you run out of 5-pin jacks.
