Additional Connectors
The spare connectors are not intended to add additional length to the cable sets,
but rather to add additional connectors to the existing cables.
To add a spare Molex or SATA connector to an existing cable:
1. Measure and mark the desired position on the wire set that you want to
add the additional connector to.
2. Remove the wire set from the power supply and place it on a flat, firm surface.
3. Place the additional connector under the wires with the cap open as shown.
See Photo 3 (Molex) and Photo 4 (SATA).
Note:
When connecting an additional SATA Connector, we recommend
connecting it to the existing SATA wires (5 wires) so it can incorporate the
+3.3V output. This will allow you to power next-generation SATA devices.
4. With one hand holding the connector, use a flat head screwdriver to push
wires into the proper notch on the connector as shown in Photo 5.
a) Black Wires are Ground
b) Yellow Wires are +12V
c) Red Wires are +5V
d) Orange Wires are +3.3V
5. Close the cap to complete the installation. (See Photo 6.)
Warning:
1. Please be careful! A connector with incorrectly-aligned wires will damage
the device connected to it. It could also damage the power supply, or even
your entire system.
2. We STRONGLY recommend that you use a multi-meter to measure the
voltage from the newly added connector to make sure it has been done
correctly. (See Photo 7.)
3. If you need to remove an additional connector from a cable, please wrap
the wire with electrical tape. (See Photo 8.)

Disclaimer:
The additional connectors are provided for your convenience.
Antec will not be responsible for any damage due to the incorrect connection
of the additional Molex or SATA connectors.
Installing NeoPower
1. Disconnect the power cord from your old power supply.
2. Open your computer case. Follow the directions provided in your case manual.
3. Disconnect all the power connectors from the motherboard and from the
peripheral devices such as case fans, hard drives, floppy drives, etc.
4. Remove the existing power supply from your computer case and replace it
with the NeoPower power supply.
5. Connect the 24-pin Main Power Connector and the
4-pin +12V Connector to your motherboard as
needed. You will need to use the 24-pin to 20-pin
adapter if your motherboard uses a 20-pin connection.
6. In the package, you'll find a set of power supply-to-
Molex connectors.
(
One of the PSU to Molex
connectors is shorter than the others.) Connect
one of the 6-pin connectors to any of the 6-pin
sockets on the power supply. (See Photo 2.)
7. Connect the Molex connector to your hard disk drives or CD-ROM. Repeat
as necessary.
8. If you have a SATA drive: In the package, you'll find a power supply-to-
SATA connector. Connect the 6-pin connector to any of the 6-pin sockets
on the power supply.
9. Connect the SATA connector to your SATA drive. Repeat as necessary.
10. In the package, you'll find a power supply-to-Fan Only connector. Connect
the 2-pin connector to the 2-pin socket on the power supply.
11. Connect the Fan-Only connector to your system fans. This will allow
NeoPower to control the speed of the fans you've connected.
Note:
Do not
connect the Fan-Only connectors to CPU fans.
12. In the package, you'll find a Molex-to-Floppy adapter. Connect it to a Molex
connector, and connect a floppy drive if you wish.
13. In the package, you'll find a PCI Express graphic card connector. It is
identifiable as the only 6-pin connector with 3 yellow wires and 3 black
wires. Connect the 6-pin PCI Express connector to your PCI Express graphic
card if needed.
Note:
Please consult the user manual supplied with your PCI
Express graphic card for detailed usage instructions.
14.
Optional:
If you'd like to monitor the speed of the power supply fan,
connect the 3-pin fan signal connector to one of the fan connectors on
your motherboard.
Note:
You don't need to connect the fan signal connector
in order for the power supply to work.
15. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Note:
If your motherboard requires a 6-pin AUX Power Connector, please contact
Antec Customer Service at (888) 54ANTEC (North America) or +31 (10) 462-
2060 (Europe) to purchase the optional AUX Power Connector.
