Support the power supply with one hand if it could fall while removing the last
screw. (Such as in a tower style case.) Remove the power supply by sliding it back
and then out through the side of your case.
8. Install your new power supply by positioning it through the side or top of your case
(depending on your case style) and then back onto the power supply mounts. Check
that the orientation with the screw holes in your case is correct; all four holes must be
aligned. Support the power supply with one hand while threading a mounting screw
through the back of the case and into the power supply. The screw should thread
smoothly and should not require effort. Do not force it or you could damage the
mounting holes. If the screw won’t thread smoothly, remove it and check to ensure the
mounting holes are correctly lined up. Repeat for the remaining three screws. Do not
fully tighten any of the screws until they all have been threaded into their mounting
holes. (Note: Consider Startech part SCREWTHUMB screws for easier installation.)

Connect the power cord to the power supply and plug it in to a grounded power
outlet. (The power supply MUST be connected to a grounded outlet.) Toggle the
rear power switch to on.
12.Start your computer.You should hear its fans and devices immediately begin to
run. If you do not, toggle the rear switch on the power supply to off, disconnect the
power cord, open the case and check that all connectors are well seated and secure.
13.When you have confirmed all connections are working, replace the screws in your case.
