SLK3700AMB - Super Mid Tower Case
Power Supply
The power supply installed in this case 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 occasionally need to turn the switch to the OFF position should your computer crash and you cannot shut it down through use of the soft switch.
[Applicable only to models designed for sale in the European Union: Solution power supply models designed for the EU include Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accord with European standard regulation code
Note (not applicable to models designed for the European Union): Check the red power supply voltage switch setting before installation. It should be the same as your local power voltage (115V for North America, Japan, etc. and 230V in Europe and many other countries). Change the voltage setting if necessary. Failure to take this precaution could result in damage to your equipment and could void your warranty.
