NSK 4482 / NSK 4482B

Mid Tower Case

This case is designed to meet Intel’s Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) 2.0 design guide requirements.

The NSK 4482 and the NSK 4482B come with an EarthWatts EA-380D Green PSU. The PSU features Universal Input and Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC). It conforms to the ATX12V v2.3 specification and is cooled by a single 80mm fan. Two +12V output rails deliver safer and more reliable output to your system’s components. Higher energy efficiency reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electric bill. This power supply has achieved 80 PLUS® Bronze certification, the highest independent standard in power supply efficiency. In addition, EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).

The power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you 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. If the computer crashes and you can’t shut down using the soft switch, switch the main power to the OFF ( O ) position, then reboot.

For models designed for sale in the European Union:

Antec power supply models feature Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, Active PFC improves the power factor of the PSU. A better power factor increases energy efficiency, reduces heat, improves output voltage stability and prolongs the life of your equipment.

Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we strongly recommend taking the time and appropriate care when working with it. Hurried or careless motion and use of excessive force, particularly when you are working in areas you cannot see clearly, are but a few examples of activity that should be avoided. Please use reasonable precaution.
