- Motherboard Power (24-pin): Connect the 24-pin ATX cable from the PSU to the corresponding port on your motherboard. Ensure it clicks into place.
- CPU Power (4+4-pin or 8-pin): Connect the CPU power cable(s) from the PSU to the CPU power connector(s) on your motherboard. High-end motherboards may require two 8-pin connectors.
- PCIe Power (6+2-pin or 12VHPWR):
- For graphics cards requiring 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe connectors, use the provided 6+2-pin cables.
- For NVIDIA RTX 40 series graphics cards or other GPUs requiring the new 12VHPWR connector, use the dedicated 12VHPWR cable. Ensure it is fully seated into both the PSU and the graphics card.

- Alimentazione SATA: Collega i cavi di alimentazione SATA ai tuoi SSD, HDD e unità ottiche.
- Peripheral Power (Molex): Connect peripheral power cables for case fans, fan controllers, or other accessories that use Molex connectors.
- Gestione dei cavi: Disporre i cavi in modo ordinato per migliorare il flusso d'aria e l'estetica all'interno del case.
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
Once all components are connected and secured, you can power on your system.
- Collegare l'alimentazione CA: Plug the AC power cord into the power supply's inlet and then into a wall outlet or surge protector.
- Power On PSU: Portare l'interruttore di alimentazione sul retro dell'alimentatore in posizione "ON" (I).
- Accensione del sistema: Premere il pulsante di accensione sul case del computer.
5.1. Funzionamento della ventola (modalità semi-senza ventola)
The FSP Dagger Pro 850W features a semi-fanless design for optimized low-noise operation. The fan will remain off (0dBA) under low load conditions (typically below 20% load or <25°C internal temperature). As the load increases, the fan will gradually spin up to maintain optimal temperatures, ensuring quiet operation when not under heavy demand.

6. Manutenzione
Una corretta manutenzione garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del tuo alimentatore.
- Pulizia: Periodically clean the exterior of the power supply and its fan grill to prevent dust buildup. Use compressed air to gently clear dust from the fan and vents. Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
- Flusso d'aria: Ensure that the power supply's intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed. Maintain good airflow within your computer case to prevent overheating.
- Ispezione dei cavi: Controllare di tanto in tanto tutti i collegamenti dei cavi per assicurarsi che siano saldi e privi di danni.
