Shall you have any suggestion or comments, please access our web site : or to : thermaltake@thermaltake.com we appreciate your kindly feedback and you will receive the prompt response from our customer service team. Thank you for choosing a quality Thermaltake graphic card Power Supply. We trust that you will find it providing you with many years of service. Thermaltake Technology's innovational spirits have developed the world's first power supply accessory that is dedicated towards the high-performance graphic cards today. Due to the high demand of the +12V rail as specified by NVIDIA and ATI, the dedicated graphic card power supply is born. The power supply effectively assists the consumers to retain the original power supply they have been using before the upgrade of their video cards. The sole purpose of the Power Express is to provide as high as 21A of +12V for the video cards. The is also equipped with a 24-pin main adaptors so that the unit can turn on and off at the same time the computer system is being turned on and off. The simple 5.25" drive bay is powered through an AC adaptor card in one of the PCI slots; this implementation of the unit enables easy access and easy installation of the whole system. External appearance-wise, the has a front panel with three LED lights that shows the operating condition of the unit and the video card. Thermaltake did not forget that the Power Express is still essentially a power supply it is still equipped with OVP, OCP, SCP, OTP, and other kinds of circuitry protection as well as active PFC for the most stable environment possible. The low-noise 40mm fan in the rear of the unit also constantly keeps the power supply cool and quiet at all times. Not only is the extremely usefully, it also includes luxury features such as shielded black mesh sleeves for the cables and easy-plug connectors. The Thermaltake is the world's first power supplying unit that enables the usage of high-performance graphic cards without replacing the old power supply. Please take the time in familiarize yourself with the power supply, its connectors and the contents of this manual before proceeding with the installation of the power unit. You will need a Phillips crosshead screwdriver, perhaps your PC case manual and most certainly your motherboard manual. Thermaltake Power Supply Thermaltake Power Supply

Finally, please prepare to turn on your system with the new power supply for the first time when you are ready by switching the power switch to the "ON" position. AC Power Cord Note: Turning off the Power Express while the system is running will not cause damage but there will have a pop-up message from the desktop warns the user that there is insufficient power for graphic card. To prevent electrical shocks, please disconnect the power cord from your existing power supply unit before install with Power Express Graphic Card PSU. has automatic Voltage Selector which will automatically change to 100V-240V. Installation Procedure Ground yourself to remove any static electricity by briefly Follow your computer case manual and disassemble the case touching your PC case and then, disconnect the power cord from your main power supply. Remove the front drive bay cover and insert the 5.25" Power Express 250W into 5.25" drive bay. Please be sure to bolt on all 4 screws to secure the power supply in the chassis. (Some chassis has tool-free installation for 5.25" devices, so you don't need 4 screws to install Power Express 250W for those chassis.) Thermaltake Power Supply Thermaltake Power Supply

If Graphic card only requests a little current (between 0.2A ~ 2.0A) from this PSU unit, the Green LED will flicker in and out. The Green LED reflects the real-time current inquiry from the Graphic card Standby mode When you using operation system's standby mode, the Power Express will have following status. A) S1(Suspend to Disk)condition : the powe r supply stil l working and powe r voltage outpu t fo r low powe r consumption. B) S3(Suspend to RAM)condition : the powe r supply stop working and no voltage outpu t wil l provide fo r graphic card. S1 : means PC system's hard drive, processo r and othe r devices wil l stop working, bu t the fans fo r CPU and graphic card are stil l rotating, powe r supply spend only 30 wat t a t this condition. S3 : means a system enters a low-powe r state. Information on system configuration, open applications, and active files is stored in main memory ( RAM ), while mos t o f the system's othe r components are turned off. A system in STR can use as little as 10 watts o f power, with mos t o f i t going to main memory fo r data maintenance Input Circuit Protection: In primary circuit of the power supply, a protected fuse is inserted. Only internal fault of the power supply will cause the fuse blown. Any overload or short circuit at DC output will keep from fuse brown of fire hazard. Over Power Protection: The power supply can be used electronic circuit to limit the output current against exceeding 40% of surge output power or protected against excessive power delivery since short circuit of output or over power at high line. Short Circuit Protection: Short-circuit the output the power supply will be protected Under Voltage Protection: The DC output are protected against the under voltage condition.

11 >> 17 >> 18 Question: There is no DC output. The fan are motionless when I run the unloaded test as mentioned above. Answer: Is the AC inlet plug firmly plugged into the PSU inlet socket? Is the wall socket, extension power cord, power strip or surge protector in use, fully functional and wall power switch switched to the "ON" position? Is the 24-pin adapter plug fully with main power supply and motherboard? Question: The fan began rotating and then stopped. The system hangs without proceeding any further. Answer: Are the PCI-Express connectors firmly plugged into dual PCI-Express graphic card? If a plug has been inadvertently connected in an off-set or reserved position, unplug the AC power source, reconnect the offending connectors and then wait for 30 seconds before re-plugging in the AC power source and trying again. Question: The system readings of the voltages seem to be out of range How can I make sure the power supply is functioning properly? Answer: Please do not rely on software readings such as your motherboard BIOS or third-party software. The usage of a digital multi-meter is strongly recommended to check your voltage stability while the system is running. Question: Insufficient power warning message pop up on the screen, what should I do for this problem? Answer: Are the Power Express firmly plugged into dual graphic card PCI-Express connector? Please make sure your Power Express 250W switch is on "ON" positionand connect the 24-pin adapter with main powersupply and then, connect the dual 6-pin PCI-Express to your graphic cards. Message informs user that the performance will decrease due to insufficient power is being supplied to the graphic card but it still works without using any SLI or CrossFire support PC games or software such as 3D Mark. Question: I am a technician; can I open up a suspected defective power supply for inspection? Answer: Unfortunately,no. High voltages exist inside the power supply unit; unauthorized opening of the power supply unit will void all warranties and may result in serious injuries.
