Antec TruePower 2.0 User's Manual ATX12V version 2.0 power supply

Models: TPII-380, TPII-430, TPII-480, TPII-550, TPII-480Blue, TrueControl II-550

TruePower 2.0 series power supplies comply with the newest ATX12V version 2.0 specifications. This includes dual 12V output circuitry that delivers safer and more reliable output to your system's components, as well as higher energy efficiency, which reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. In addition we've included a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry: OCP (Over Current Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), UVP (Under Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection).

Connectors: TruePower 2.0 is an ATX12V version 2.0 form factor power supply. It has a

24-and-20-pin Main Power Connector (pic 1, pic 2), a 4-pin +12V Power Connector, five 4-pin Peripheral Connectors, four 15-pin Serial ATA Connectors, and one 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.

This power supply is backwards-compatible with previous ATX form factor power supplies. To make sure you connect your power supply properly, please refer to the user manuals supplied with your motherboard and peripherals before connecting TruePower 2.0 to any of your devices.

TruePower 2.0 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. TruePower 2.0 will then regulate your case fans, further reducing system noise. Note: please don't connect more than three external fans to the "Fan Only" connectors. 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 a false fan failure warning. 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 accordance 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
