Installing the power supply

Preparing your power supply:

1Make sure your motherboard, graphics card, and other
components are compatible with this power supply. Refer to the
documentation that came with each component.
2Check your local AC voltage (115 VAC for USA, Canada, Japan, and
others, and 230 VAC for Europe, Southeast, Asia, and others). The
DX-520WPS is only compatible with 115 VAC.
3For DX-400WSP only: Make sure that the red voltage switch
(located on the back of the power supply) is set to the correct
voltage setting.
Caution: Using the incorrect voltage can damage the power supply and
connected equipment and may void your warranty.
