ANAGEMENT

 

The  HCP-1200  uses  Advanced  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 3.

ACKS 

 

There are three black jacks and two red jacks on the back of your HCP-1200 PSU. These jacks are for the optional 

cables  that  come  with  your  power  supply.  The  black  connectors  are  used  for  Molex  or  SATA  cables  and  the  red 

ones for PCI-Express connectors.

ISTRIBUTION 

 

The HCP-1200 uses eight se12

 

volt power rails. Different connectors are hooked up to separate circuits to 

aid in the balanced distribution of power between devices in your computer. The +12V rails have been assigned to 

different connectors, as shown in Table 2, to prevent voltage sags in one device due to sudden demands for power 

by another device.
