Installation Guide for a Power Supply
Thank you very much for choosing this high quality Raptoxx power supply. This
manual includes a brief description of the properties and technical details of the
power supply, which will give you a better idea of its performance characteristics and
answer any questions you may have right from the outset. Installation instructions
should help you to install components in a technically approriate manner.
Raptoxx continually refines and improves our products to ensure the highest quality.
So it might be possible that your new power supply slightly differs from the
descriptions in this manual. This isn't a problem; its simply an an improvement. As of
the date of publication, all features, descriptions, and illustrations in this manual are
correct.
Step 1
Turn off your computer using the instructions provided with the operating system.
Disconnect ti power cable from the back of your PC case power supply. Disconnect
all other cables from your PC case, monitor-cable, net-work-cable, keyboard/mouse
cables, printer cable, USB cables etc.
Step 2
Remove the computer cover or open the computer's case (using the instructions
provided with then chassis)
Step 3
Disconnect the power connectors for all internal devices.
NOTE: Your actual system may very from the illustrations below
3-A: Begin disconnecting the power connector from the motherboard
3-B: Disconnect the 12V Supplemental4-pin power connector from the
motherboard(4-pin-power connector is common in Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon
XP systems). If your system does not require this, go to the next step.

3-C:Disconnect the floppy drive power connector. If your system does not have a
floppy go to the next step.
3-D: Disconnect any hard drive, optical , ZIP or other device 4-pin-power connectors.
Step 4:
Remove the existing power supply, Remove the four(4) mounting screwas on the
rear of the power supply, Gently slide power supply of the PC chassis.
NOTE: Depending on the layout of your PC chassis and motherboard, you may need
to remove the CPU cooling element before removing the power supply from your
chassis.

Installing a New BTX/ATX Power Supply
Step 1
Insert your new BTX/ATX Power Supply into the PC chassis. Gently place the power
supply in the space provided by the PC chassis. Or it is in place with holes lined up
screw the power supply.
NOTE: For an installation in a bare or unpopulated chassis, it is recommended that
the motherboard and CPU (including the cooler) be installed prior to installing the
power supply.
Step 2:
Once the BTX/ATX Power Supply is securely mounted into the PC chassis, connect it
to the motherboard
2-A: Determine if your motherboard requires a 20-pin or 24-pin connection. The
Power Supply comes with a combination ATX-BTX connector. To convert the 24-pin
connector to a 20-pin connector, simply slide off the extra 4 pins. Connect the power
supply to the motherboard.
2-B: Connect the +12V Supplemental 4-pin power connector to the motherboard (4pin-power connector is common in Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon XP systems). If
your system does not require this, go to next step.
3 of 12
2-C: Some server system motherboards use as special 8-pin EPS 12V connector. If
your system does require this, connect the included 8-pin +12V power connector to
the motherboard. If your system does not require this, go to next step.
Step 3:
Connect all othen internal devices. These may include some of the following common
devices: floppy drive,hard disk drive, optical drives, etc.
NOTE: Your actual system may very from the illustrations that follow.
3-A Connect a floppy drive using the 4-pin floppy connector. If your system does not
require this, go to next step.
3-B: Connect the IDE HDD device(s) using 4-pin Multi-use (Molex) connector.
3-C: Connect Any other IDE devices (optical drives, etc.) using the additional 4-pin
Molex connectors.
3-D: Connect any serial hard drive or optical devices using the SATA connector(s)

3-E Connect a PCI Express graphics card using then optional PCI-E power
connector. Many PCI-E graphics crads require additonal power, so connect to moles
cables to the PCI-E power connector.

Fan Control Function
6 of 12
In order to prolong the fan's cycle, the Raptoxx fan is
facilitated with a thermostiatic circuitry to monitor the fan speed under the power
supply operating temperature.
Short Circuit Protection
The power supply DC outputs are protected from damage due to faults, when any
output shorts to ground. In the event of a short circuit on any output, all outputs shall
be disabled and remain disable until the power supply is powered off and back on.
The #5VSB rail will recover upon removal of the over current condition.
Output Voltage
DC Output Specifications
The following pictur summarizes the minimum DC output voltages and associated
power requirements for each output.
Note: Peak current is limited to total duration of 60 seconds from the instance of
PWROK driven true. The power supply is able to sustain maximum current for an
unlimited time after these initial 60 seconds.
Output voltage load regulation
The table below summarizes the allowable output voltage tolerances for each output
rail.
7 of 12
The table below specifies line regulation as measured from minimum to maximum
load including the transient response requirements as detailed in this document.
Cross Regulation
The power supply DC outputs perform within all line and load specifications
regardless of the static or trasient loads on any of the outputs.
Efficiency
63% minimum at 115VAC, 500W output
63% minimum at 115VAC, 600W output
Close-loop Stability
The power supply is unconditionally stable under all line/load/trasient load conditions
including capacitive loads specified in the table below. A minimum of 45 degrees
phase margin and 10 dB gain margin is at both the maximum and minimum loads.
Voltage Hold-up Time
All output will sty within regulation for at least 16.6ms after an AC line voltage failure
is detected at nominal line (115VAC or 230VAC) under full load condition.
Power Sequencing
All outputs, regardless of loading, turn on within 50ms of each other. The +5VSB
output is in regulation for aminimum of 10ms prior to the other output rails reaching
regulation.

Timing / Housekeeping / Control
PWR_OK
The power supply accepts a logic collector level which will disable/enable all the
output voltages. As the logic level is low, output voltages are enable; As the logic
level is high, output voltages are disable. The definition of logic low/high level is as:
High Level: 2.50V ~ 5.25V while sourcing 0.4mA maximum
Low Level: 0.V ~ 0.50V while sinking 5.0mA maximum.
Rise Time: 3.0ms maximum (10.0% ~ 90.0%)
PS_ON# Signal
9 of 12
The power supply provides an internal pull-up to TTL high. The power supply also
provides debounce circuitry on PS_ON# to prevent it from oscillating on/off at startup
when activated by a mechanical switch. The DC output enable circuitry is SELVcomplaint.
+5VSB
The +5VSBis capable of delivering a maximum of 2.5A at +5V +/-5% to external
circuit. The power supply +5VSB is with overcurrent protection.
Power-on Time
The power-on time is less than 100ms (T1 < 100ms). The +5VSB has a power-on
time of two seconds maximum after application of valid AC voltages.
Output Risetime
The output voltages rise from <= 10% of nominal to within the regulation ranges
within 0.1ms to 25ms ( 0.1ms <= T2 <= 25ms).
Overshoot at Turn-on / Turn-off
Any overshoot at turn on or turn off is under 10% of the nominal DC output voltage
with further stipulation that all DC outputs are within their specified DC voltage ranges
befor the generation of the power good signal. Additionally, no voltage may
undershoot or overshoot once the power good signal has been asserted.
Reset after Shutdown
The power supply latches into a shutdown state because of a fault condition on its
outputs, the power supply return to normal operating after the fault has been
removed and the PS_ON# (or AC input) has been canceled OFF/ON with a minimum
OFF time of 1 second.
