Antec TruePower Trio User’s Manual
ATX12V version 2.2 power supply
Models: TP3-430, TP3-550, TP3-650
The TruePower Trio series comply with the ATX12V version 2.2 (EPS12V for
TP3-550 and TP3-650) specifications. This includes three +12V outputs that
deliver safer and more reliable power to your system’s components. With up to
85% efficiency, the power supply helps save energy and money on your electrical
bill compared to typical power supplies. TruePower Trio power supplies generate
less heat because of their high efficiency and thus keep the power supply itself
cooler and prolong its life. They also include a variety of industrial-grade protective
circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), SCP (short
circuit protection), and UVP (under voltage protection).
Connectors
: TruePower Trio has a 24-pin main connector with detachable 4-pin
section, a 4-pin +12V connector for single CPU systems, and a 8-pin +12V
connector for multi CPU systems (TP3-550 and TP3-650). All models include six
4-pin peripheral connectors, four 15-pin SATA connectors, one floppy connector,
and PCI-Express Connectors (two for TP3-550 and TP3-650; one for TP3-430).
The power supply has an advanced temperature response system that provides
optimum balance between noise reduction and cooling. The 120mm quiet fan will
always run at the lowest speed possible for existing load and conditions.
In addition, it can control the speed of your system case fans. You can find two
fan connectors (marked “Fan Only”) to which you can connect your system case
fans. TruePower Trio will then regulate your case fans, further reducing system
noise.
Note
: Do not connect more than two external fans to the “Fan Only”
connectors. Also, Antec DOES NOT recommend connecting a CPU fan to the “Fan
Only” connectors.
TruePower Trio power supplies include Universal Input and Active Power Factor
Correction (PFC). Universal Input allows you to connect TruePower Trio power
supply to any AC power input between 100~240V, without having to worry
about setting a voltage switch. Active PFC improves the power factor value of the
power supply by altering the input current wave shape and thus helps the power
plant to provide power to users more efficiently.
Power Switch
: This power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure
you turn the switch to the ON ( I ) position before you boot up your computer for
the first time. In normal operation there is no need to turn the switch to the OFF
(O) position since the power supply is equipped with a soft on/off feature which
turns your computer on and off through the soft switch on your computer case.
You may need to turn the switch to the OFF position occasionally should your
computer crash and you cannot shut it down through use of the soft switch.
Installation
:
This power supply is backwards-compatible to previous ATX12V.
specifications. To make sure you connect your power supply properly, please refer
to the user manuals supplied with your motherboard and peripherals before
connecting the TruePower Trio to any of your devices.
