TP2-550EPS12V power supply

EPS12V compatible

TP2-550EPS12V is an SSI / EPS12V compatible power supply. It includes a variety of industrial- grade protective circuitry: OCP (over current protection), OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), OTP (over temperature protection), UVP (under voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).

This power supply is also compatible with ATX12V version 2.0 form factor power supplies and it is backward compatible with previous ATX form factors. You will need the 4-pin +12V Connector for your ATX12V based system and the 8-pin +12V Connector for your SSI / EPS12V based system. To make sure you connect your power supply properly, please refer to the user manuals supplied with your motherboard and peripherals before connecting the power supply to any of your devices.

The power supply includes an advanced temperature response system that provides optimum balance between noise reduction and cooling. The power supply fan will always run at the lowest speed possible for existing load and conditions. Furthermore, it can also control the speed of your system case fans. You will find two dedicated fan connectors (marked "Fan Only") to which you can connect your system case fans. TP2-550EPS12V will then regulate your case fans, further reducing system noise. Note: please don't connect more than three fans and do not exceed 1.0 Amps total connected equipment. If you need more cooling power than that, you can connect your case fans to the regular 4-pin peripheral connectors, but that setup won't be as quiet as our recommended setup. Note: Antec does NOT recommend connecting a CPU fan to the "Fan Only" connectors.

We've also included a 3-pin fan signal connector. Connect it to one of the fan connectors on your motherboard. You can monitor the speed of the rear power supply fan through your motherboard BIOS or through the monitoring software included with your motherboard. Note: When temperatures are low, the speed of the fan many drop below 1000 RPM. At such low speeds, some motherboards may not be able to properly detect the fan speed and may generate false warning of fan failure. To ensure proper fan monitoring, please refer to your motherboard manual.

Active Power Factor Correction (applicable only to models designed for sale in the European Union): TruePower 2.0 models designed for the EU include Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accord with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2.

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:

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 power connectors from the motherboard and from the peripherals devices such as case fans, hard drives, optical drives, floppy drives, etc.

4.Remove the existing power supply from your computer case and replace it with your new Antec power supply.
