Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of this RF-900WPS power supply.

Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions before installing the power supply.

The RF-900WPS is an advanced power supply with excellent acoustic and thermal performance and intelligent thermal fan control technology that makes it virtually silent under 60% load. Five +12V rails deliver safer and more reliable output to your system. Active power factor correction circuits also reduce the power loss of the AC input line to less than 0.01%. The standby mode consumes less than

1W when +5VSB is less than 0.1A. This power supply series is certified by the 80 plus program.

Installing your power supply

To make sure you connect your power supply correctly, check your motherboard and graphics card manuals for compatibility before connecting the RF-900WPS to any of your devices.

Notice: Cable management

This product uses color-coded sockets and cables for ease of use. Connect the plugs to only those sockets with the same color ends. Red and blue sockets are to be used for PCIe cables only. Black sockets are to be used for all other connections.

Warning: Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to your computer components.

To install your power supply:

1

Check your local AC voltage before installation (115 VAC voltage is for

USA, Japan, and several others, and 230 VAC voltage is for Europe,

Southeast Asia, and many other countries).

Caution: Make sure that you connect the power supply to local input AC voltage only. Setting the incorrect voltage can damage the power supply and connected equipment and may void your warranty. The RF-900WPS is compatible with 115 VAC and 230 VAC input voltage.
