POWER SUPPLY MANUAL

Congratulations on the purchase of your new CORSAIR power supply!

This User Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“You”), and CORSAIR Memory, Inc. (“CORSAIR”). You are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this agreement, as defined below, by using the CORSAIR power supply (“Product”). If you have any questions or concerns about the terms of this agreement, please contact us at www.corsair.com. If, prior to using the Product, you decide you are unwilling to agree to the terms of this agreement, promptly return the Product and the accompanying items (including written materials and binders or other containers) to CORSAIR or the CORSAIR authorized distributor from whom you obtained the Product and accompanying items. If you have already paid for the Product, provide us with your proof of purchase and we will refund to you the fees you have paid for these items.

If you are building a new system, skip to Step B.

1. Disconnect the AC power cord from your wall outlet or UPS and from the existing power supply.
2. Disconnect all the power cables from your video card, motherboard and all other peripherals.
3. Follow the directions in your chassis manual and uninstall your existing power supply.
4. Proceed to Step B.

1. Make sure the power supply’s AC power cable is not connected.
2. Follow the directions in your chassis manual and install the power supply with the screws provided.
3. Connect the main 24-pin power cable. The main 24-pin power cable has a detachable 4- pin mechanism in order to support either a 24-pin or a 20-pin socket on the motherboard.
   1. If your motherboard has a 24-pin socket, you may connect the 24-pin main power cable from the power supply directly to your motherboard.
   2. If your motherboard has a 20-pin socket, you must detach the four-pin cable from the 24-pin connector, and then plug the 20-pin cable onto your motherboard without connecting the four-pin connector.
4. Connect the eight-pin +12V (EPS12V) cable to the motherboard.
   1. If your motherboard has an eight-pin +12V socket, connect the eight-pin cable directly to your motherboard.
   2. If your motherboard has a four-pin socket, detach the four-pin from the eight-pin cable, and then plug this four-pin cable directly to your motherboard.

5. Connect the peripheral cables, PCI-Express cables, and SATA cables.

1. 1. Connect the peripherals cables to your hard drive and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM power sockets.
   2. Connect the SATA cables to your SATA SSD or hard drive’s power sockets.
   3. Connect the PCI-Express cables to the power sockets of your PCI-Express video cards if required.
   4. Connect the peripheral cables to any peripherals requiring a small 4-pin connector.
   5. Make sure all the cables are tightly connected. Be sure to save any unused modular cables for future component

6. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and turn it on by pushing the switch to the ON position (marked with “I”).

Congratulations! You have completed installation of your new CORSAIR power supply and your system is ready to go!

1. Install in accordance with all manufacturer instructions and safety warnings. Failure to do so may result in damage to your power supply or system, and may cause serious injury or death.

8. If this power supply uses modular cables, use only manufacturer supplied cables. Other cables might not be compatible and could cause serious damage to your system and power supply.
9. The 24-pin main power connector has a detachable 4-pin connector. This 4-pin connector is not a P4 or ATX 12V connector. Do not force this cable in the P4 or ATX +12V socket on the motherboard.

Except where prohibited by applicable local law, this warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. This warranty provides you with specific legal rights, and you may have additional rights that vary under local laws.

In general, this warranty means your CORSAIR power supply is guaranteed to operate, as specified by its datasheet and/or product documentation, and in the operating environment for which it was intended, for the life of the product or the extent of the warranty.

CORSAIR's entire liability and your exclusive remedy for any breach of warranty shall be, at CORSAIR's exclusive discretion: 1) to repair or replace the hardware, or 2) to refund the price paid, provided that the hardware is returned to the original place of purchase, or another place as directed by CORSAIR, with the original sales receipt (or a valid copy thereof). You may be required to pay shipping and handling charges, as well as any applicable tariffs, duties, taxes, or other fees, except where prohibited by applicable local law. CORSAIR may, at its exclusive discretion, use new or used/refurbished parts in good working condition, to repair or replace the hardware.

Any repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period, or thirty (30) days, whichever is greater, or for any additional period of time that is specified by law in your local jurisdiction.

Whenever possible, an obsolete or discontinued product will be replaced with the same product. If CORSAIR is unable to replace your obsolete or discontinued product with the same product, CORSAIR will replace that product with a new product of similar function and equal or greater value.

This warranty does not cover problems or damage resulting from, but not limited to, any of the following:

• Wear and tear associated with normal use
• Any modification, abuse, accident, disassembly, misapplication, or unauthorized repair
• Removal of any manufacturer label(s) or sticker(s)
• Any improper operation, including any use not in accordance with any supplied product instructions
• Connection to any improper voltage supply
• Use of consumables, such as replacement batteries, not supplied by CORSAIR, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable local law.
• Any other cause which does not relate to a product defect in materials or workmanship

Also excluded from this warranty are counterfeit products; that is, products that CORSAIR, at its sole discretion, determines were not manufactured by CORSAIR or any of its authorized manufacturing partners.

CORSAIR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA (WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT) OR COMMERCIAL LOSS FOR BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY ON YOUR PRODUCT EVEN IF CORSAIR HAS BEEN ADVISED PREVIOUSLY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some local laws do not allow the exclusion or limitation of special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply in your jurisdiction.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ON THIS HARDWARE PRODUCT IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE APPLICABLE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD FOR YOUR PRODUCT. Some local laws do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, so this limitation may not apply in your jurisdiction.

Consumers may have legal rights under applicable national legislation governing the sale of consumer goods. Such rights are not affected by the warranties in this Limited Warranty.

No CORSAIR employee, dealer, or other agent is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to this warranty.
