4. Configurazione e installazione

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your power supply. Always ensure your system is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet before installation.

4.1 Precauzioni di sicurezza

• Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet before handling the PSU or any internal components.
• Assicurare una corretta messa a terra per prevenire le scariche elettrostatiche (ESD).
• Non aprire l'alimentatore casing. Alto volumetages are present inside, even when unplugged.

4.2 Installazione fisica

1. Mount the PSU into the designated power supply bay in your computer case. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction for optimal airflow (usually facing down if there's a bottom vent, or up if it's a top-mounted PSU).
2. Fissare l'alimentatore al case utilizzando le viti di montaggio fornite.

4.3 Collegamenti dei cavi

Connect only the necessary modular cables to your components. This improves cable management and airflow within your case.

• Potenza della scheda madre: Collegare il cavo ATX a 24 pin alla scheda madre.
• Potenza CPU: Connect the 4+4-pin EPS/ATX12V cable(s) to your motherboard's CPU power connector(s).
• PCIe Power (Graphics Cards): For modern graphics cards requiring a 12V-2x6 connector, use the dedicated cable. Ensure the connector is fully seated. For other graphics cards, use the 6+2-pin PCIe cables.

• Alimentazione SATA: Connect SATA power cables to your storage drives (SSDs, HDDs) and other SATA-powered devices.
• PATA Power (Molex): Connect PATA power cables to older peripherals or case fans if needed.

After connecting all necessary internal cables, connect the AC power cord to the PSU and then to a wall outlet.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Accensione/Spegnimento

1. Assicurarsi che tutti i cavi siano collegati saldamente.
2. Flip the main power switch on the back of the PSU to the 'I' (On) position.
3. Power on your computer system via the case power button.
4. To power off, shut down your operating system normally, then flip the main power switch on the PSU to the 'O' (Off) position.

5.2 iCool Intelligent Fan Control

The ASRock Steel Legend SL-850G features an iCool switch on the rear panel. This switch controls the fan's operation mode:

• iCool ON: The fan will remain off at low to medium loads for silent operation. It will activate automatically when the load or temperature increases.
• iCool OFF: The fan will operate continuously, regardless of the load or temperature. This provides maximum cooling but may result in higher noise levels.

Choose the mode that best suits your preference for noise and cooling performance.

6. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare contribuisce a garantire la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del tuo alimentatore.

• Pulizia: Periodically clean the exterior of the PSU and its fan grille to prevent dust buildup. Use compressed air to gently clear dust from the fan blades and heatsinks. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Gestione dei cavi: Assicurarsi che i cavi siano disposti ordinatamente e non ostruiscano il flusso d'aria all'interno del case.
• Ambiente: Operate the PSU in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your power supply, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Nessun potere:
  • Verificare che il cavo di alimentazione CA sia collegato saldamente sia all'alimentatore che alla presa a muro.
  • Ensure the main power switch on the PSU is in the 'I' (On) position.
  • Verificare che la presa a muro funzioni collegandovi un altro dispositivo.
  • Use the included 24-pin PSU tester to check if the PSU powers on independently.
• Instabilità del sistema/Arresti casuali:
  • Ensure all modular cables, especially the 12V-2x6 PCIe cable, are fully seated and properly connected.
  • Check for any loose connections to the motherboard, CPU, or graphics card.
  • Verificare che i requisiti di alimentazione del sistema non superino la capacità di 850 W dell'alimentatore.
• Fan Not Spinning (iCool ON):
  • If iCool mode is ON, the fan may not spin at low loads. This is normal operation.
  • If the fan does not spin even under load, try switching iCool mode OFF to force continuous fan operation. If it still doesn't spin, contact support.
• Rumori insoliti:
  • Ensure no cables are obstructing the fan.
  • If the noise persists and is not related to fan operation, contact support.
