Preliminary 8-2002 RSHD Smartcaster Installation Manual

Before you install the new power supply, take a look at the back of it. There should be a

red switch right underneath the plug for the power chord. Be sure that this switch is set to

the correct voltage. For example, if you live in the U.S. it should be set to 115V. Most of

the time they are set correctly by default, but you don't want to take any chances, so take

the extra second and check to be safe.

Now carefully insert the power supply into the case and position it in the proper position.

You'll notice that the cutout for it is oddly shaped and that it only fits a certain way.

Screw it in securely. Then look at the bundle of cables coming from the power supply.

Figure out which string has what type of connectors on it. Identify the connectors and

figure out the best way to use them.

First connect the power connector for the motherboard. If you look closer at the bottom

of the connector you'll see that some of the 20 pins have different shapes. This prevents

you from inserting it the wrong way. In addition, you'll notice the clip on one side. The

socket on the motherboard that receives this plug has a notch on one side where the clip

goes. Another easy way to match it up the right way.

Similar case with the power connectors for the drives. They both are uniquely shaped and

only fit one way. The bigger one is for the hard drives, CD-ROM drives etc. and the

smaller one is for the floppy drive. But since you had to unplug the old power supply

connectors you'll probably remember how they fit anyway. Go ahead and connect the

appropriate power connectors to all the drives in your computer.

As a last step take all the cables dangling around in your case, gather them in an orderly

fashion and carefully tie them up with plastic zip ties. This will make working inside the

case much easier in the future and optimize airflow as well. Now double-check all your

connections, make sure you didn't forget to hook up any of your drives, make sure the

power supply is securely mounted, that no cables are dangling near any fans, that the

power supply is set to the correct voltage, etc.

AT-Style Power Supplies And Power Switches

If you're installing an AT-style power supply, you'll notice that there is an extra cable that

we haven't mentioned yet. It is for the power switch. One of the differences between AT

and ATX is that with AT-style cases the power button connects directly to the power
