Antec AT SmartPower User’s Manual

This Antec SmartPower is equipped with an intelligent electronic circuit that senses the temperature of the power supply and the ambient temperature and regulates the speed of the fan. Do not panic if the fan stops spinning. If the ambient temperature falls below 59 degrees Fahrenheit, the fan will not function. This is no cause for alarm.

CAUTION! Be sure to turn off the power before installation

Note: Pictured above are three of the most common types of switches used in computers.

If the switch on your computer is different from the one provided, you must use the switch supplied with the computer itself. Before removing the power supply from the computer, mark the colors of the wires connected to the power switch of your computer on the blank spaces provided on the following illustration. The cable leading to the power switch will have five wires: brown, black, white, blue and green. The green wire is a ground wire and should be connected with a screw to any metal part of your computer. The other colors need to be noted according to which node each colored wire is attached to.

To Install the Antec SmartPower to your computer:

1.Turn off the power of your computer system.

2.Disconnect leads from power supply to system board (P8, P9) (Figure 4) and peripheral devices such as hard drives, floppy drive, etc. Remove the existing power supply from your computer and replace it with SmartPower.

3.Using the colors noted above, connect the color coded wires to the leads on the power switch. If you are using the Type A switch included in SmartPower package, refer to figure 1, connect the matching color power leads to power switch. If you have a type B or C switch built into the computer, refer to the appropriate figures above.

4.Connect P8 and P9 power leads from power supply to system board. The two black

wires of P8 and P9 should be side-by-side in the center as shown in figure 4.

5. Connect other leads to peripheral devices such as hard drives and floppy drives.

Paddle Switch, Push Button Switch, Rocker Switch specifications

The Antec Rocker Switch, Push Button Switch, and Paddle Switch are essential components utilized in various electronic applications, providing users with convenient and reliable access to control circuits. Each type of switch has unique characteristics, features, and technological advancements that cater to specific needs and preferences in both consumer and industrial markets.

The Rocker Switch is renowned for its intuitive design. It features a pivoting mechanism that allows users to toggle between on and off positions easily. The switch is often characterized by a distinct clicking sound, providing tactile feedback that ensures users know the switch's status at a glance. Typically used in household appliances, lighting systems, and automotive applications, the rocker switch supports a range of voltage and current ratings. They are often designed with weather-resistant materials, making them suitable for outdoor applications as well.

On the other hand, the Push Button Switch offers a more compact design, suitable for spaces where a rocker switch can't fit. Push button switches are commonly used in various devices, from computer systems to industrial machinery. Antec's push button switches often come in momentary and latching configurations, catering to diverse operational requirements. Momentary switches, for instance, only remain active while pressed, making them ideal for applications requiring temporary activation, such as triggering a machine's start-up process. In contrast, latching switches maintain their position until pressed again, providing a reliable solution for functions like light control.

Paddle Switches combine ergonomic design with robust functionality, making them increasingly popular in modern applications. The paddle mechanism allows for easy operation, often enabling users to control devices with a simple upward or downward motion. Antec’s paddle switches are well-suited for heavy-duty applications, featuring resilient construction that can withstand frequent use and exposure to challenging environments. They come with various configurations, including illuminated versions that provide clear visual indicators, especially important in low-light settings.

In summary, Antec’s Rocker Switch, Push Button Switch, and Paddle Switch each bring distinct advantages to different applications, with features like tactile feedback, compact designs, and ergonomic operation enhancing usability. The high-quality materials and advanced technologies employed in their manufacture ensure longevity and reliability, making them favorite choices among manufacturers and consumers alike. Whether it’s in homes, offices, or industrial settings, these switches provide essential control and functionality.
