Fusion 430 / Fusion Black 430 – Media Center Case

The Power Supply

The Fusion 430 and Fusion Black 430 come with a 430 Watt high efficiency power supply, compliant with the ATX12V version 2.01 specification. This power supply features Universal Input, Active PFC, a single 80mm fan, and dual 12V output rails that deliver safer and more reliable output to your system’s components.

In addition, it features a variety of industrial-grade protection circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVP (Under Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection).

Turn the switch to the ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time. Normally, you won’t need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power supply includes a soft on/off feature which lets you turn the computer on and off by using the soft switch on the computer case. If the computer crashes and you can’t shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power of the power supply to the OFF (O) position to clear the fault, then reboot.

This power supply features Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the power supply. This yields increased energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, prolonged life for power distribution and consumption equipment, and improved output voltage stability.

Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking the appropriate time and care when working with it. Avoid hurried or careless motions and the use of excessive force.

Please use reasonable precaution.
