User’s Manual
Dear customer,
Thank you for choosing this ENERMAX power supply unit (PSU)! Please read this manual carefully and
follow its instructions before installing the PSU.
We would like to draw your attention that a computer required very specific conditions to work best for
you without failing. To avoid failures and to increase lifetime of the system, we suggest that:
Your system is NOT located near a radiator or any other heat producing device
Your system is NOT located near a magnetic device
Your system is NOT located in a moist and/or dusty and/or vibrating environment
Your system is NOT exposed to direct sunshine
Your system is sufficiently cooled by additional fans
If you use AC extension cables, please make sure it can support all connected appliances’ potential
peak power draw. Or redistribute other high power consumption equipment, such as laser printers or
monitors to other AC wall outlets. Exceeding the extension cable’s loading capacity could trigger its
circuit breaker and cut off the power.
If you want to add the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for your system, please choose adequate
Watts/VA capacity UPS. Ex.
PSU Model
Suggested minimum UPS output power capacity
(Based on efficiency & PFC at respective load)
EPM1000EWT
1100W / 1600VA
＊
If you intend to add other appliance powered by the same UPS, such as monitor or printer,
please use higher capacity UPS according to all connected devices’ rated power draw.
＊
Please do not mistake VA capacity as Watts, or use insufficient power UPS. This would result
in
less UPS battery runtime or the inability to power the system in battery mode.

#1 To ensure best system cooling, do not block PSU fan’s air in-take and air vent area.
This PSU offers a special HeatGuard function. When the system is turned off, or goes into ACPI
S3/S4 sleep mode, the PSU fan will keep dissipating the remaining heat for 30 ~ 60 seconds and
prolonging system lifetime.
#2 When assembling or maintaining the system, please remove AC cord from AC inlet, or turn
ON/OFF switch into “OFF” position. Then you can safely service the system.
#3 AC cord can get loose in many ways. The ENERMAX CordGuard lock can fix your AC cord tightly
to the PSU, so that it will not be easily detached and avoid shut-downs of your PC. The following
is CordGuard installation:
